Can‘t even say Deny Defend Depose in that sub, and who knows what else can get you banned there. Saying BT deserved it, for sure would. Not blaming mods for that since they‘re just trying their best to keep it alive, but Reddit has been lost to any controversial discourse for a long time (it‘s why I signed up here originally).
Like yeah, I‘d like to have a moral argument with someone who thinks political violence is always wrong, but we ain‘t ever going to have it on there in a real way, cause if I don‘t self-censor my side of it, it‘s going to get me banned.

That's the goal, they don't want people talking about it in any other way besides official propaganda talking points, ideally bickering along left/right circle jerk.
I think the thing that scared them the most was the left and right in perfect agreement against them. Their greatest fear is the lower classes coming together and finally participating in the class war they've been running.

Political violence is the ONLY REASONABLE RESPONSE LEFT. Everything else has been tried and blocked.

Reddit moderators doing a 31 billion dollar corporation's bitch work for free.
Not only that but they're protecting the interests of people who make more money in a single year than they'll make in their entire lifetime.
Surely this would be the Reddit admins banning the subreddit? I can't imagine the mods banning their own subreddit, if that's even possible.

Should someone try to point them to here?
Good luck... reddit admins/mods don't like lemmy references. Only attempt if you don't mind losing your account or permabans from whatever sub you post to.
I have mentioned Lemmy several times on /r/RedditAlternatives without any issue

- https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1fmuk7o/post_to_address_the_usual_criticism_about_lemmy/
Of course on other subs that would indeed get you in trouble
That's good to hear; so it's likely certain mods/subs rather than a site-admin restriction then (at least until perhaps lemmy becomes too much competition...)
Just depends how big it is imo, I left in the Reddit api exodus because I saw some posts talking about Lemmy, I'm already aligned to FOSS support so it was an obvious choice.
Helped too that sync was made for Lemmy so quickly after :P

I mean.....yes. eve if Luigi never existed, yes.
I do it regularly on /r/RedditAlternatives for Lemmy as a whole.
Maybe someone from !luigimangione@lemmy.world could create a post on /r/RedditAlternatives to promote this specific community

Reddit has long ago passed the tipping point between content and commercial interest. They're only interested in being profitable, safe, and inoffensive for marketing partners. The life has gone out of it, it's just a product now.
What pisses me off is that there is no ready made platform ready to take the user exodus. Digg died basically in 6 months because reddit was ready and super duper easy to sign up.
Lemmy simply isn't easy to sign up for and understand for better or worse

I'll probably get downvoted for this but I feel like Lemmy is like the salty friend who can't get over their ex and gets off on the issues going on in their life without them.
It's not weird or particularly unhealthy to look back at the person you were close to, but betrayed you, and realize that all of your interactions with them were actually them being an asshole, and the people who still support them are assholes too. Nor is it particularly unhealthy to have a bit of schadenfreude about the suffering of those who chose the asshole over you, while hopefully still having some sympathy and hope that they escape.
It's how I feel about Taylor swift fans, at least.
I don't disagree with you. However, when I see a post like this every day it gets old to me. Though to be fair, Lemmy content doesn't come from a single person and everyone on here is at a different phase in their journey.
And it's not like reddit isn't still relevant to us, you know? We also get bsky and twitter posts on here
Ok, but there's also post from 4chan, Xitter, Facebook, and everywhere else on the internet. Reddit, and now Lemmy, grab information and memes from literally everywhere so you don't have to.
There's always going to be a subject someone doesn't care for. Thankfully though, there's filters in most every app now. The ones further along in their Lemmy journey tend to use them instead of complaining about having to see things repeatedly.

It's not that simple. People want to participate where communities are, some are still largely on reddit. There's also the free labor active submitters do regarding submissions, and they decide on what platform they participate in.

In this case, the ex is an influential person with millions of friends, so what they do matters.
And horrifically abusive.
Yes but this is not it.
We are here to discuss Luigi and how regime is steering the narrative. Reddit is a major social media platform so them supressing Luigi discussion is relevant. Plus a great opportunity to take reddits users;)
Honestly I like these kinds of posts as it lets me know that I made a good choice to not go back to Reddit. Plus I can show these to people I know who still use Reddit which might push them away as well.

Brian Thompson was a mass murderer who deserved to die, as are his peers
They could always try koalanging the name, i.e. r/GreenMario or similar
That's more algospeak though, innit?

Remind me who the CEO of Reddit is?
Some sort of spaz. I think.
Some sort of spud, maybe?
I heard he was a greedy little pigboi.

Im surprised r/freeluigi and r/luigemangionejustice havent been banned they banned r/mariosbro and r/freeluigi2 as well as some others. Our corporate overlords are pissing their $5,000 pairs of designer slacks. And look at the loosers on r/fuckluigimangione it would be funny if it wasn't so sad https://imgur.com/gallery/rbqSckH

As much as I want to say that Reddit's rules against glorifying violence are cut & dry, I cannot blame anyone who sympathizes with Luigi Mangione especially when the system is outright crooked. I get the frustration when nearly every Reddit post about Luigi ends up getting locked because the mods are either overwhelmed with or are too fucking lazy to moderate comments (I theorize the latter.) Brian Thompson has been responsible for far more deaths due to him employing AI algorithms that have trebled UnitedHealthcare's rejection of insurance claims, but the difference is that the American people are expected to put up and shut up with his antics. You can't vote with your wallet because good luck suing a corporation that brings in twelve figures of annual revenues for a wrongly-denied claim. Nor can you literally vote with your ballot paper because both the Democrats and Republicans are corporate bootlickers that have enabled widespread anti-consumer behaviour in the first place.
Not saying that Brian deserved what he got, but these are the actions of someone who had been brought to the end of their tether by the health insurance system.
Things can go either way for Luigi. He faces the very real possibility of jury nullification, but also, maybe the justice system is going to mess with the legal process so much that he's gonna end up going through what is effectively a kangaroo court.
On the subject of Reddit, throwing Ellen Pao under the bus and bringing back that Tintin-looking cuck as CEO is probably the worst thing Reddit's board has done. Spez has been nothing but poison for the site.

Good for him, he should spend some time also doing some other things.
He should spend time out. Touch some grass. Jurors should be aware of nullification.
