    This is the final straw for me. Today, after years of accelerating decline, I deleted my Reddit account and made my Lemmee lurking official. My only regret is abandoning the the good people at Narwhal who always made Reddit better, but never had a chance to save it from its corporate-aspiring overlords. Good-bye!

              Soon you can’t say fired or terminated anymore either because that sounds too violent. It’s “unhiring” now. DOGE doesn’t fire government workers. It just unhires them. /s

    Reddit is also banning and warning people for UPVOTING “violent” comments (or what they now consider violent and somehow right wing subs don’t get the same censorship applied; or we’d see them bitch about it). It’s now a dystopia.

          Not really. Lemmy.world is alright as long as you have two functioning braincells to read community guidelines and understand you can’t just say whatever you want in a large fairly moderated public space.

          You can get away with being an anarchist edgelord in a small instance but on Lemmy.world calls to violence are a no-no. When you get as large and stable as .world you need stricter rules to cover ass legally which is understandable.

          The people who complain about being instance banned usually leave out key information that makes them look bad or just plain lie about why they were banned ,cwhich you can check if you go into modlogs.

          Besides that, theres always going to be power mod fuckery any internet fourm you go. At least you can at least post it to c/yepoweryrippingbastard to vent.

    Most of the time, if I say “Luigi” I’m actually talking about the character. Mario’s brother. The lil green plumber. Not the real life guy.

    I’m not sure what’s gonna happen to discussion about Nintendo games but if first names themselves can be banned from being said (even if they take on a new meaning due to slang) there’s something seriously wrong with the platform.

        No, it is an open place where CCP shills and Nazis and good people can all say what they want, filter what they don’t, and communicate without shitty corporate overlords or trash mods having all the power.
