    I’m sorry but inciting violence gets any instance nuked, broligarch or federated.

    Just read this:

    Some of the screenshots say: “Muskrat’s DOGE Henchmen have been identified,” “It’s time to do more than dragging names, let’s drag their necks up by a large coil of rope,” “Time to hunt,” “I’ll say it. This nazi stooge needs to be shot,” and other comments sharing a similar sentiment.

    Now of course we can gloat that Reddit is bending the knee, but if a Lemmy instance was big enough to attract the same attention, exactly the same thing would have happened. No instance owner wants their whole instance get nuked by feds because the users of the instance are inciting violence.

      The mod of a sub I watch confirmed earlier that Reddit is threatening moderators who don’t comply with removing the names of Elon’s goons from their subs, claiming that spreading those names is doxxing.

      Those names, by the way, are Gavin Kliger, Ethan Shaotran, Akash Bobba, Luke Farritor, and Edward Coristine.

      But nice scapegoat you got there.

      Shit like that was frequently posted on the_donald back in the day, except targeting minorities, and the admins were fine with it

        Tbf a lot of people wanted to nuke the sub, and I would bet a lot of those were fake accounts to force Reddit to ban it. The actual users would’ve been inclined to behave and keep their space.

          “a lot of people wanted to” doesn’t matter on a corpo platform.

          but if a greedy little pig-boy wants something gone, THAT matters.

      I mean, I would agree if reddit wasn’t filled with hateful and violent content but it is. Last week, I reported a popular post joking about raping two women who OD, just to get told to shut up by the mods. So the fact that this loser got the entire community banned just shows the type of justice you can expect from social medias controlled by tech-bros. EDIT: Also, the only good nazi is a very dead nazi.
