Lemmy censorship. U cant say the word "retarded" but you can call for the literal murder elon musk. It makes me angry the mods are too blinded by political bias to apply the rules equally.
In r/wallstreetbets they use the word regarded instead, which is just funny to me. People buying stocks at the wrong time can be hilarious, even though sometimes sad of course.
I like that im gonna steal it and if its that easy to bypass power hungry lemmy mods censorship then ill be impressed.
That's only the case on lemmy.ml, that's been disabled on most of the instances
On which community did this happen?
Just do one search for 'guillotine' and you'll find a heapload of comments on Lemmy world and Lemmy.ml
Lemm.ee acvount commenting on a lemmy.world community got my account full deleted for saying retarded. And just use the lemmy search and type guillotine and u will get hundreds of examples on world and .ml.
It's much worse on Reddit. There is a growing lexicon of words you can't even use in a comment without having a bot swoop in and nuke your post from orbit, all because a snowflake moderator doesn't like reading them.
I too get your sentiment about Lemmy's double standards. At least Spez was consistent about banning people for calling for the literal murder of billionaires.
Case in point. Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle, recently shared his vision of using AI powered mass surveillance to ensure everybody was on their best behaviour. Pretty much everybody on Lemmy called for him to be guillotined, whereas on Reddit such a comment would net you a permanent ban.
U know lemmy has problems when u have to give spez props.
You spelled “Waaaaaaaaaaah! I got banned for being an insensitive bigot!” wrong.
I’m not going to explain to you why calling people a “retard” is wrong. I have no doubt that you know already that it is insensitive and offensive- and you’re here to troll the subject.
Do better.
You’re not going to defend your right to call people “retards” to me here. Ableism is disgusting and frankly, I’m getting creeped out by the fact that you are trying so hard.
Go away.
I’m not going to help you find your right to call people names. Adults don’t behave that way.
