A Reddit moderation tool is flagging ‘Luigi’ as potentially violent content
-
Yeah, I was banned for talking about suicidal thoughts, so they’re definitely going to ban me if I say Luigi Mangione is my hero and did a beautiful thing.
Are you in a better place now?

With doxxing being the threat it is, I kind of get why a mod wouldn't be comfortable with that. The absolute last thing any mod acting in good faith wants is for someone to track down and hurt in real life a member of their community. Telling people you will punch them for upvoting violent content could be seen as the first step to doxxing someone. It's a bit over sensitive but we've all heard true horror stories about people getting doxxed.
i guess if viewed from an overly protective POV and maybe in a sensitive subreddit in subject matter, but in the more generic subs that make it to Popular regularly, quality shit posting needs to be considered and applauded as being such. Like if it was a subreddit for survivors of being punched by redditors, i would not make such a comment, very poor taste.

Leftist lean is a bit of an understatement. It's not just Reddit. In general, the radical left is being recognized for the violence and chaos they've spread over the last decade and the government is realizing they were left unchecked for too long.
Now they're just being treated the same as the radical right.
What violence and chaos has the radical left spread in the last decade, pray tell
-
Okay, what violence did the pro-palestine movement spread, exactly?
I can accept that some buildings got torched and property values temporarily reduced during the George Floyd protests, but when I hear violence, I think harm against flesh and blood, which the police did much, much more of. I can't think of many instances where the protestors did that.

Are you in a better place now?
Yeah, thank you. My post was really just a "if things get bad enough, I can always blow my brains out which gives me a strange sense of comfort" sort of thing and it was flagged as threats of violence... against myself I guess? Silly. I will of course do my best to not let things get to that point and try to look for the positives in life.

We absolutely see lots of news about these violent communist uprisings. Definitely not something you're imagining. Not at all.

ROFLMAO. This bloke. Fucking Americans.

Hey look, the cancer is dying of itself..

Take the link and scroll down to the section titled “ON BACKGROUND”
I still don't get it. Nothing there says a spokesperson is not a source. Which is good because saying such a thing would make absolutely no sense.

Does it flag "Notmario"?

The more I see the less I want to go back.

A Reddit spokesperson, who requested that The Verge not use their name due to the sensitive subject matter
What the fuck is this? We’re granting corporate spokespeople anonymity now?
Actually, yeah. Otherwise, you fuck up whistleblowing. They could be in the position, realize what's happening is wrong, be documenting it, trying to get out, etc...

I was going to say, “For what?” But then I remember that Nintendo just blasts lawsuits at anyone who remotely mentions something related to one of their IPs.
I’m surprised they haven’t sued Italy over their name since that is where Mario is from.
They recently sued a tiny convenience store in Costa Rica because it was called "Super Mario", because in Costa Rica, any moderately large store is a "Super", and the owner happened to be named "Mario" so.. You can figure it out.
Anyways, Nintendo lost that lawsuit

Hmmm yeah, he's "only" worth about $85M, so low/mid-upper class
In their minds, that’s literally it. They compare themselves to billionaires. Millionaires are just temporarily embarassed billionaires.

Well that was the most out to lunch comment I’ve read this week I think.

It's crazy that a pendulum swings drastically back and forth isn't it? Not a false equivalency if you have any understanding of historical geopolitics.
If you marginalized and de platform an entire half of your voter base, and cancel people for taking a centrist stance, they're more likely to band together against your cause, doing more harm long term than if you just toed a rational line.
IE. Because the right were treated the way you are now being treated for so long, they're were polarized and radicalized to the result of who your president is now.
Also, not American, this isn't just an American thing. This is happening globally.
Can you name one person that got cancelled for taking a centrist stance?

Here is a great example of the "if you're not with us you're against us" mentality: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/may/28/centrism-insidious-bias-unjust-status-quo
Reasonable views being cancelled:
Bari Weiss: A former opinion editor and writer at The New York Times, Weiss is known for her centrist views, often critiquing both the far-left and far-right. In July 2020, she resigned from the newspaper, citing a hostile work environment and alleging that her centrist stances led to bullying by colleagues.
Example of extremes people will go to silence the moderates...
Stefan Gelbhaar: A member of Germany's Green Party, Gelbhaar, associated with the party's more centrist "Realo" wing, was forced to withdraw from the federal election race following false sexual harassment allegations. An investigation later revealed that the accusations came from a fictitious persona created by a local Green official, leading to internal tensions within the party.

Rights you probably take for granted were won by people blowing stuff up or attacking and even killing people.
