  Comment’s still up after an hour, yup, looks like the mods here are pretty good. I like this place. Over in /c/news the modlog is insane, looks like it’d be easier to just remove themselves from the Fediverse rather than try and remove all the comments that might hint at “celebrating violence”.

    Hopefully it stays that way! Most communities here seem to have a fucked up version of moderation where going “I’m glad Hitler is dead” yields a ban for celebrating violence lol

      Personally I’m glad Hitler is dead but I don’t approve of the person who shot him.

        Yeah I hear he’s a bit problematic. Dated his cousin or something.

      That is reddit, and it’s only for billionaires and fascists. If you cheer at the murder of a leftist or anti-zionist reporter they might give you gold.

        I thought they did away with Reddit Gold.

      He suicided, so it doesn’t count as violence

    The thing is that none of us celebrate violence and certainly not murder, but when this is the closest thing to justice that we get for people like him?

    source

    • dragonfucker@lemmy.nz ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Everyone celebrates violence. The right sure as Baator does, what with the existence of prisons and their support for the death penalty. Liberals do, because capitalism is violence. We should as well.

      Oddly enough, this is an example of when satire becomes the safest place for discourse. I’m all for it, lol!

  I have an old friend named Brian Thompson who is 100% not this Brian Thompson.

  I feel bad for him having this guys name today and how much shit he’ll hear about it.

    My college buddy has a last name of Epstein. He did not have a good time for two months straight. And my poor friend Karen now goes by Karey.

      If they had married she could be Karen Epstein!

    Brian Thompson is such a nothing name, I was wondering who it was by the time I got to your comment.

  The NPR article right now on this guy is disgusting

  source

  • A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Huh, from your post I’d assumed it painted a brutal picture of him. Instead, it’s basically just his family and company saying “he was such a nice man”.

    I expected better, NPR.

    • ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      NPR has been targeted by republicans for reporting on facts in the past few years that they’ve been scared shitless and now report on the most shallowest softest version of news to avoid offending anybody.

      Shame, as Trump will still defund them.

      Not a single mention of all the people fucked over by United Healthcare.

      Don’t expect a mainstream news outlet to condone an assassination.

      Also, don’t feel the need to have a mainstream news outlet validate your ideas.

      • ayyy@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        They don’t have to condone assassination, they just need to point out all the harm UnitedHealthcare has done.

    You can get instance wide ban? How have I not gotten one yet I’ve been really pissing off the libs since they lost the US election by being insufferable

    • sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Yeah, I got an instance wide, 24 hr temp ban…

      Made a thread in yepowertrippinbastards on db0’s anarchist instance, a community that exists to report on silly mod activity, and within about one or two ish hours, after a good bit of discussion, including at least a few mods for various .world communities, and possibly a .world admin?

      … 24 temp ban removed.

      How have you not gotten one?

      My guess would be ‘post insane shit, mods/admins are sleeping’.

        Ooo what is this anarchist instance you speak of? I made the mistake of interacting with lemmy.ml never again
