“We are raising funds to support a critical legal defense in the fight against unchecked corporate power and a system that continues to favor the few over everyone else. This case isn’t just about one individual—it’s about challenging a status quo that protects the interest of the powerful at the expense of justice and fairness,” read one of the fundraising pages that was quickly removed by GoFundMe.

      Is it? I am indeed happy that CEO died. He deserved it. Fuck him.

      Is Lemmy basically just Reddit Junior then? No real improvements to freedom of speech? More moderators being over zealous and deleting posts and banning people left and right and controlling the narrative? I don’t really know what this place is all about I guess. I’m not like super hateful or anything but I’m not going to pretend I’m on the side of monsters who ruin the world for profit. I fit in beautifully on Reddit circa 2008.

      Looks like TikTok is the only place you can actually be a real mother fucker and my country is shutting that down soon. What a bummer.

        Lemmy is just the software that runs on various instances (servers) that all talk together.

        I like to think Lemmy is the multiverse version of Reddit. Don’t like your instance and admins? Join a new instance.

          Thank you. I was told by another user to try an anarchist instance. It’s not like I’m some hate-monger or even at all abrasive. I’d just like to see the kind of freedom we had on Reddit in 2008 where the community is allowed to moderate itself outside of some obvious exceptions. We didn’t know how good we had it then. Peak days of online discussion.

        I have genuinely started to dislike the internet as a whole in the last couple of years, where everyone is trying to be "familiar-friendly " and “corporate-friendly” like wtf? Even I’ve got enough shadow bans on me(especially on the ones by google) that I’ve almost got a strange gut reaction when using a swear word, to stop and consider if it’s going to get me banned. But atleast I’d be able to say what I want. Even then, I’m just so much more happy that I can type out long-ass 10 page rants and it would not be considered a spam, just because of being long on reddit and eternity. Also, fuck lemmy world mods for censorship.

                Eh, I’m talking about speech that isn’t the direct result of real harm being done. I think the distinction is pretty clear don’t you?

                  No if it was then debates on what constitutes “speech” or “harm” wouldn’t occur.

                  People can AI generate convincing CP images. Should those be allowed? Who was actively harmed? What about animation?

                  I didn’t say who individually to kill I’m just saying people should go kill a certain group. Should that be allowed? Who was actively harmed? I can’t be held accountable for actions of randos who take my jokes and sarcastic comments literally!

                    I don’t see why not, if nobody is being harmed in its creation. Just because something is disturbing doesn’t mean it needs to be illegal.

                    saying people should go kill a certain group.

                    Saying it doesn’t harm anyone, it’s the people doing it who cause harm, that seems pretty clear cut to me.

          Yup, here’s hoping. With a little luck, some would-be mass shooters will also hopefully reconsider their objectives after seeing how much love Luigi is getting and at least go out doing something positive for society instead of shooting innocent people. School shootings are so 1998 and real virgin behavior.

              Yes, I 100% know why I was banned by a corporate website that abandoned the policy of free speech they were founded on years ago. I don’t care. I’m done playing nice and thinking and saying what I’m “supposed to.” Fuck these people and all who lick their boots.

              My question is what is Lemmy about? Can I say I’m glad that CEO got shot and I hope it becomes a new positive trend in the world here? Cause that’s my honest take, and it’s been so refreshing to see that it’s the predominant take among friends, family, and coworkers in the real world as well. We think Luigi is just great.
