I think Reddit ToS has something about condoning or inciting violence which is being used to broadly in my opinion.
ok, so will someone post a link to it here, just for Streisand effect purposes?
Talk about Streisand effect…
Seems like a textbook example of why federation is better than something owned by some rich assholes
What the hell with that font, my eyes just died.
Thanks for the post though.
Impact is the standard meme font, with an outline to ensure readability no matter what its used on. That said, its meant for single line memes, not full manifestos.
And, sigh, if you didn’t notice, cramped up on a white background, making it unreadable. Which I think is not the goal of this meme.
What are you trying to convey? The choice is shitty at best.
Its a meme image and thus using the standard meme font setup. I thought I was fairly clear when I explained that.
I also stated it was a poor choice even if it was thematically accurate to its usage on a meme, owing to the meme usage of the font normally being a single line.
If I was unclear in my initial comment, please quote the part of my comment that confused you into thinking I was arguing with you, for my own future reference. Thanks in advance.
Your whole post could have been condensed to “yes, it is bad”. Instead you started explaining meme fonts which had nothing to do with anything. You even acknowledged it being a poor use if the font for multi line memes, which wasn’t adding anything either.
Their post wasn’t saying yes, it’s bad, it was explaining that the goal was resembling a meme, and agreeing that that choice impacted readability. Being less than perfectly readable doesn’t make it bad - the joke is just the manifesto resembling a meme, so it’s only got to be readable enough to be recognisable as the manifesto for the joke to work.
I really don’t think there could be a worse way to present this information 😅
Make it look inconspicuous. Its just a silly meme! Theres nothing else here. What’s so dangerous about a bunch of words?
A Reddit spokesperson, who asked to remain anonymous citing safety concerns, says that manifestos related to violent acts have “long violated our Content Policy” but that “discussion is allowed as long as it doesn’t violate other aspects of our violence policies (e.g., glorification, incitement).”
“You can discuss it, but we don’t want you to read the thing you’re discussing.”
Someone should post the Declaration of Independence, see if that gets removed for being a “manifesto related to violent acts.”
Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people.
Those poor, poor marginalized and vulnerable CEOs.
Will it matter if people just go watch a Netflix show where the good guys win & feel better?
Israeli politicians and pundits call for violence and genocide against defenseless civilians in Gaza and nobody bats an eye but one member of a tier of people that make enough money to hire their own private army gets capped, and everyone loses their mind.
If your job requires you to ruin people’s lives or cause their untimely death, it is reasonable to assume that you would need private security. I hate to victim blame (not really) but it seems to me that it was UHC CEO’s own fault that he got taken out by an amateur. I’d say do better next time but…
I guess spez is asking for the UHC treatment.
Always has been
I confess I am surprised by the level of concern these fuckwits are displaying.
If nothing else comes from this, I hope a few conservatives/alt-right types have at least some of the veil lifted as they are constantly gaslit about what to think about this guy.
Anything Shapiro is trash jfc
.world did too didn’t it?
A LW mod said that the manifesto would be allowed
If it’s confirmed, I don’t see why not. Depends on the community, of course. I’m sure !lemmybewholesome would remove it.
As I understood it, they clarified that we’re not allowed to call for violence and stuff like that. The manifesto itself is fine.
They locked the news post entirely because some comments weren’t bootlicking. My comment was removed for saying “can’t imagine why that happened” which neither “calls for nor celebrates violence” as the mod stated, the latter “celebrating” being his or her invention to broaden the scope of the censoring of comments outside the stated server and community rules.
I’m current researching alternatives and have no idea where to go. I’m pretty drained after a year on Lemmy trying to make this work. I’d look at mastodon but seems like it’s more Twitter than longer form discussion and boards.
Whether or not that’s exactly what happened, that’s a moderator action, not an admin action, and if you disagree with it, you can just join or start a different news community without stressing about moving your account to another instance (which isn’t a huge hassle anyway - if you use the settings import/export tool, all your subscriptions etc. can come with you).
Come to lemmy.zip!
Dbzer0 is where I went and after seeing all the content I wasn’t seeing because world had defederated, I’m really enjoying myself.
If you otherwise like lemmy I’d recommend dbzer0 or lemm.ee. Both are kinda large instances which ideally would be avoided, but both of them are also very fair with moderation and don’t defederate from many places, which means you can decide whether or not to block one on your own. I also have heard decent stuff about .zip, so that might be worth checking out.
It does suck how many communities ended up centralized on .world, but a lot of the news related ones that are the most susceptible to over-moderation have fairly active alternatives on other instances.
Thanks; a few dbzero recommendations in addition to your own so maybe I’ll give that a go. I was aware of the structure of Lemmy and it’s options of server choice but like many, I started on .world as I assumed being the biggest fish in a small pond would at least yield the most content and users (which was the beauty of reddit) we can all agree content and participation is still a struggle even on .world so I haven’t tried other instances. I’ll at least try that before moving on.
Even when dealing with bullshit like this, trying to “rules lawyer” online when a moderation group has made their stance known loud and clear rarely works out well.
Also, just in the rare case you didn’t know, Lemmy is more than just .world. It’s not like Reddit where you’re just stuck with the Reddit admins.
You could register an account on any instance you want. The overwhelming majority of them would still allow you to interact with content from .world, but the worst the .world admins could do would be to ban you from a .world version of a “subreddit”.
I’ve been very happy with the admin of lemmy.dbzer0.com, a former mod (I think former head mod) of the piracy subreddit that resigned with the API mess. Doesn’t seem to take action lightly or capriciously, content to let the community make decisions through open discussion and polls rather than just iron fist their wishes through.
Former head mod or piracy. I built it from the ground-up in fact. Didn’t resign. Got admin-removed (potentially coup-ed) because I blacked out the sub and pushed very actively towards a lemmy migration (which is why /c/piracy is thriving)
Also former top mod of /r/anarchism (x2) but I demoted myself voluntarily (x2) when I got asked nicely :D
I think .world’s reasoning was that it’s “unreliable source” rather than “NO MANIFESTO ALOWED!!!”
A LW mod said that the manifesto would be allowed

Their reasoning was spez doesn’t want to give anyone ideas.
I mean .world admins
But Reddit also seems to be inconsistently removing the manifesto, as we were able to find a link to the manifesto in Reddit search without much work. Reddit’s new AI-powered Answers tool also showed me information about the manifesto and where I could find it.
hehe
Yes
