I just got a ban for "encouraging violence". Someone asked "what will you do to celebrate when he dies?" Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they'd put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians' careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.

So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.

And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It'll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.

Ive seen the same thing reported on Lemmy.

Moderators need to be careful to not fall into the same trap.

Welcome! We've got memes on deck at [email protected] and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got [email protected] to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful [email protected] or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like [email protected] and [email protected] . [email protected] is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.

We have Tankies here too, but here they're mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. On .world instance you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you'd rather just not deal with them

Hehe, I actually joined my instance in no small part due to it already having taken anti tankie countermeasures. Don't need those people buzzing around like horseflies, I had a tankie father and my patience for that shit is basically zero.

Thanks for the recommends, neighbor!
