The mods at r/popculture pointed it out. And then the screenshot above.
The subreddit drama
Come to Lemmy, we got cookies
How about card games and sex workers?
Haven’t seen much of either, honestly
“check for violence” for any comments that contain the word “Luigi”.
This is gonna make Nintendo retro-garming discussions really awkward.
IRL Luigi’s Mansion
as if Mods will spend time to check every single “luigi” comment, they arnt going to be bothered by, they will just auto-ban or use a bot to give a “Reason” to ban.
Normies will have to face the censorship they prefer to ignore
Let it burn.
Out of the loop somehow, what is (this) Luigi all about?
Luigi Mangioni is going through trial for his murder of the United Healthcare CEO. Lots of people rally behind him as a symbol of fighting against the system and the system is not too pleased about it.
Luigi wouldn’t hurt a fly.
Thank-you very much. I knew about the shooting but didn’t recognise the name.
Again, thank-you very much for your service!
I’m having difficulty deciding whether that was what the US second amendment was intended for, rather than letting their kids shoot each other in school.
It’s definitely higher on the list of desirable outcomes than kids shooting each other. Whether it’s above or below the neutrality line depends on what day you ask me.
Luigi would be a hero if he were the guy who did it
My pleasure
social media and msm trying to quash all news about him too.
His alleged murder.
It’s not like we don’t have mod drama but at least when you’re federated, stupid decisions get limited to a single instance and others can simply defederate. Does allow for pretty… erm, interesting views you don’t see on Reddit.
That’s the beauty of it.
The drama I prefer is power tripping mods who hate your username, hates that you use acronyms, and hates your server.
The drama I dont want is power tripping developers of Lemmy telling end users (us) what we can/can’t post using the software.
Also the modlog is public so you can at least see who was banned for what.
Nah, mods can just lie in the modlog. Verify that shit, don’t listen to someone just because they’re an authority.
Unless they’re a .ml admin. The admins of lemmy.ml are always perfect.

Man goes to the doctor.
He says “Doctor, I am miserable. I have been banned from one of my favourite Lemmy instances for no good reason.”
Doctor says “Treatment is simple. db0 runs a community for disputing wrongful bans. Go argue with strangers. That should pick you up.”
“But, Doctor…” says the man, “I was banned by db0.”
My first modlog entry on this account is from someone who banned me for harasment and stalking because they falsely claimed db0 admins were doxxing them in the modlog and I called them out on it.
Yes you verify by opening the mod log and looking at the removed comments.
That’s too hard for the average Lemmy user. They need a mod to tell them what to think instead of reading comments.
We all know what’s gonna happen next. The Admins will lock out the remaining mod and take it over for being “unmoderated” and install their own puppets like nothing ever happened.
It’s that whole “slash funding, complain it isn’t working, privatize” approach on a smaller scale.
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS
I mean this is political censorship. Just plain and simple. Well done reddit. And i am against violence. But the thing that touches me the wrong way is the idea that not guilty until proven completely got lost in this case. And dont get me started on the united healthcare topic. Ia this still allowed on reddit or will it get shadow banned?
You think Trump is innocent until proven guilty? Because that’s what the post is about. Luigi is only mentioned in the title, in quite poor taste imo
A major difference, even so, is that Trump has several felon convictions and impeachments.
I would upvote this post if you didn’t include mention of Luigi in the title. The image and the extreme action isn’t about Luigi at all. A mod was banned for upvoting an article from The Guardian about Donald Trump. If it were actually about Luigi then that would actually make more sense as a decision from Reddit admins, but it’s not. The user was banned for upvoting trustworthy news about Donald Trump.
they ban for upvoting “eat the rich” too.
yet reddit admins never had a problem with thedonalds posters litteraly saying people should be shot and other violent rhetoric for years. the key difference is this time the billionaire class got upset.
Welcome to Fascist America.
Time to invite them over?
Play a charicter specifically to get downvotes, even ASK or subtly imply you should.
Make a bot to downvote anything you dont explicitly upvote, but make upvote button un-downvote posts.
Who said button must corralate to intent? Dont dislike this post OP, i worked really hard on it!
They have gone full grayface mode. I understand not giving a damn about a few individual users, but now they are on a complete power-trip that will destroy them.
The fact that people still use reddit is insane to me.
They keep permanently suspending ppl so theyll wind up here, almost like someone working there secretly wants the fediverse to do well and is shifting the population over by permanently banning them (I dont really believe this before ppl argue like im stating a fact)
I now subscribe to this theory. Might dust off my old Reddit account and try to become a mod in my favorite subs so I can perma-ban all the top posters to jumpstart those communities in the fediverse…
I got banned for, I don’t even remember what, it was something really minor. Got a new account using Brave, and have been shadowbanned. Absolutely non-functional site for me now. Banning people based on upvotes though, holy shit. To suppress posts that people actually like? That’s the whole point of going there for me: the garbage gets knocked to the bottom where no one has to see it. Not anymore
I’ve been on lemmy for like a year and
-
the worst thing that’s happened on lemmy is that nicole botspam
-
meanwhile Reddit has done at least 3 heinous unforgivable things in that time
yeah, just got banned, it seems like today i finally begin my lemmy journey. How well does it hold up for deep subject matter knowledge that i found in some subreddits over the years and how is the best way to tap into that knowledge with lemmy? Does google index them or is their native search better than whatever reddits search was?
got banned for trying to help reddit too. Threatened to punch anybody that upvoted violent content and to knock it off! Being a bootlicker is one thing, but the gaul to be ungrateful to someone trying to help!??
That is a bridge to far and I say “Good day, sir.”
Now lemmy gets the opportunity to impress me, I hope it is grateful for the chance.
Ironically Lemmy is way worse if you post on the tankie instances. Thankfully it is growing enough to marginalize those coms
those tankies have probably been banned for legit reasons on reddit and just infest lemmy.
i don’t think my instance is even federated to them

That was me until today. I haven’t been banned yet, but it isn’t for lack of trying.
