    They exchanged messages just before the subreddit r/WhitePeopleofTwitter was given a temporary ban for 72 hours

    Because Reddit mods are known for not being massive corruptable stooges?

      I'd argue Lemmy and other decentralized platforms are the last bastion for free speech instead of Reddit though.

      Lemmy is kind of forced to be, too.

      Horrific speech can be removed from the site. But if you want to see it, the admin logs are open to the public. Other instances also aren't forced to play along with the views of one instance. And each instance can choose whether they want to connect with others.

      So you could create your own Christian Nationalist and White Supremacist Lemmy. But our instances don't have to federate with it. And if they choose to do so, we can leave for a different one or the users can block it entirely.

      Lemmy lets anyone have a platform and, simultaneously, it doesn't force anyone to listen to you just because you have your own platform. Basically, everything that makes Lemmy a decentralized platform also makes it good for moderation without harming free speech.

      That applies for PeerTube, Matrix, Pixelfed, and Mastodon as well.

        Same. Joined at the Digg migration. Left at the 3rd party App-ocolypse. Reddit is dead. Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that it's a zombie: with more bots than actual human users, it's the Dead Internet Theory in action.

        Exactly the two events that got me on and off Reddit.

          There has been unwarranted censorship at a scale I've never seen on Reddit
          I thought it was the last bastion of free speech

          While actual hate speech and seriously harmful content goes completely unchecked

          It is unfortunate

          Steve Bannon isnt welcome on Colorado. Phil Long Auditorium shouldnt host nazis.
          I was banned for saying as much from Fucking Reddit of all places
          Pointing out that there have been fires at dealerships lately does not equate to harrasment
          Phil Long Auditorium should not host the Rally period.
          Their casual attitude towards white supremacy is unacceptable and while i dont believe they should necessarily be burnt to the ground, there are better places to buy automobiles
          They deserve to be boycotted
          And i will punch a nazi mod in the face 100% of the time

          Edit: UPDATE
          2 PROTESTORS WERE RAN OVER BY TWO DIFFERENT HATE RALLY ATTENDEE"S CARS !!!
          NAZIS ARE VIOLENT PIECES OF SHIT

          Told you so r/Coloradosprings

          Fuck yall

            I don't know why people are still playing with the corpse

            Because they have a monopoly on old and especially niche knowledge/communities (also new niche knowledge/communities). As much as I hate it, that's why I personally still have to use reddit sometimes.

              How's an IP ban even supposed to work when you get a new IP regularly?

              This is a myth. We're out of addresses and now most DHCP rules are locked.

                  I’m old enough to remember when Elon released “the twitter files” in an attempt to demonstrate how the federal government supposedly exerted egregious pressure on private media in violation of first amendment right.

                    Reddit is dead to me and I was with it since near the beginning.

                      Was about 17 years.

                      The Russians are astroturfing hard, doing everything to justify their invasion and banning anyone who disagrees.

                      No point anymore.

                              I get that Musk is doing all types of tropes. But... what is the source for this newspaper I never heard about before? Is there any evidence for these pressures beyond "Trust me bro, we are the Latin times"?

                              I also deleted my reddit account. What is happening in that sub?

                                No, the terrifying part is that we're letting it happen without getting angry, much less fighting back.

                                  For anyone who doesn't know: this is a clever reference to the myth of Midas' Touch that I'm totally stealing.

                                  Oh I can definitely not claim it either. Someone said it ages ago, and I stole it.

                                        Flippers because we're penguins because we love Linux?

                                        We're not going to live down that time we held a guy at gunpoint in Grand Theft Auto to help him consider switching to Linux, are we?
