Have to admit i don't quite agree with telling people you'll skin them alive, it's fucking rude you fucking cunt.
Oi, you cunt rot! Don't tell me what's fucking rude, you festering penis wrinkle.
Have to admit i don't really know how to swear like an irish
You don't have to admit anything, you incestuous turnip of flatulence. Your exhales are responsible for 99% of the world's cases of leprosy.
(But I love you)
I think it has more to do with how not taking violent threats seriously enough has led to escalation into real world violence.
Say cunt and whatever but this is a pretty tone deaf post in a world where the Myanmar Genocide, enabled significantly by Facebook's lax moderation practices, is ongoing.
In case Im not the only one who's heard of this for the first time:
“In 2017, the Rohingya were killed, tortured, raped, and displaced in the thousands as part of the Myanmar security forces’ campaign of ethnic cleansing. In the months and years leading up to the atrocities, Facebook’s algorithms were intensifying a storm of hatred against the Rohingya which contributed to real-world violence,” said Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General.
You're not alone. It rung a bell somewhere in the back of my head, but I couldn't remember pretty much anything about it and was about to search it up myself.
There's a difference between moderation and censorship of "bad words". I can call for the violent genocide of another people without a single "bad word", but I can also praise humanity using nothing but curses.
The underlying problem is, that moderation serves the interests of advertisers, not people. KFC will happily advertise between calls to genocide in a third world country- it's finger chopping good. But if someone says fuck next to a coke bottle, the apocalypse is near.
I can also praise humanity using nothing but curses.
I'm throwing down the challenge flag on this one.
This may be because tumblr is more culturally homogenous and you can tell when someone is serious. There's no way to tell with crackpots on Facebook
Have to admit, I don't know why we're all starting our comments this way, but I'm a follower.
In semi-related news, yesterday I got suspended for 3 days from !politics@lemmy.world for joking about the death of a billionaire and from !worldnews@lemmy.ml, also for 3 days, for airing misgivings about a collaboration between Chinese and Hungarian cops.
Some people really need to chill the fuck out 🤦
Getting banned from worldnews@lemmy.ml is incredibly easy as they’re super sensitive about china and anything negative gets deleted or gets you banned. They love simping for prc/ccp and pretending they’re not.
Yeah, the ban reason stated in the modlog was just one word: "Sinophobia" 😄
They’re just like Israel misusing antisemetic. They throw that and rasism around trying to defend / deflect actions by the prc/ccp that they well know are fucked. It’s pretty pitiful
Sounds very familar to r/Sino. I wonder if there's any connection...
I've seen a few posts advocating various ill fortune for billionaires get removed. As I said somewhere else, I can kind of understand it from a CYA perspective. The staff don't want to turn into a violent conspiracy hub. On the other, billionaires are ruining the world for everyone else and defending them is fucked up when viewed like that.
Been suspended from lemmy.ml is like a rite of passage.
To be fair, replying with I'll skin you alive is pretty extreme/completely unnecessary.
There's reasonable discourse and then there's just "Fuck you dumb idiot" type responses which add nothing to a conversation.
I'd consider his response pretty childish/immature although a less extreme version of it makes sense.
I think you have to know your audience. Hyperbolic threats of violence from someone I know isn't violent make me laugh, they are not mean, they are funny.
Also this guy is kinda known for fairly violent comedy videos, so "I'll skin you alive" is pretty tame for him.
For example he's created an ad that ended up being banned by the UK advertising watchdog, twice:
Adverts given the green light by Surfshark included gun violence, child death, and namedropping competitors

In Tumblr culture, these hyperviolent responses aren't made at the end of a heated argument, but rather meant tongue-in-cheek.
For example, imagine one person posts "love pineapple on pizza". Then another person responds "Do not dare to put pineapple on pizza or I'll skin you!".
It expresses that the second person has strong opinions about pineapple on pizza, but hopefully everyone involved knows that it's an empty threat (because everyone is anonymous on Tumblr) and that it's not meant serious at all.
He’s posting on a platform that’s dependent on advertising and moderated based on the whims and tantrums of a nepo baby. It’s not going to be an “anything goes” situation.
Despite what said nepo baby may claim.

I've recently joined Tumblr, and like this has been the best social media I've ever joined, just what I asked to be shown, no annoying recommendations that are the complete opposite of what i like or it's just plain ragebait
The amount of actually nice posts is really cool
And from what I've heard their data collection is decent, not a personal data vacuum like other sites
I just banned from /politics for saying "All Billionaires Must Die". Thought Lemmy was supposed to be transgressive. I thought wrong. Probably get banned from here too, now.
the beauty of the system is you can create your own community if you disagree.
lemmy.world is relatively more rightwing compared to other instances. Idk if you'd get banned on lemmy.ml or lemmygrad or hexbear. I'm not sure what the beef/drama defederation status of those is tho.
It's because safe tweets gets promoted more and people care about chasing clout.
Is he responding to himself? Such a weird screen cap imo
That's pretty common on X. There's a low character limit, so for long posts, it's just a string of replies from the same person.
Creative cursing may become a valuable skill for proving that you’re not a chatbot.
But then we’ll make chatbots that are good at cursing. So that’ll be a fun stage of tech dystopia at least.
I like to think that this is something they'll look back on in a few years and cringe.
The fact that people are afraid to say stuff like corpse, death, kill, sex, penis, vagina and other normal fucking words is absolutely ridiculous.
Inwas watching a video and someone was afraid to say corpse because they might get a strike against them. What the fuck is this pussy ass world coming to.
A manifesto about using 'fuck' on Twitter is an oddly pathetic thing.
People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
