i left reddit for good today with their obvious attempt at controlling the narrative like the rest of big social media. long live the lemmy federation
It’s not so much the guy they’re afraid of, they’re afraid of what his actions could spur others into repeating. They’re afraid of what can be done to them if multiple people follow suit. And y’know what? Maybe that’s what we need now. Enough of us fearing them, and them fearing us. We don’t need them. They need us. And it’s well past the time to give them a reminder of that. Through force, if necessary. Preferably without bloodshed, but at this rate it doesn’t look good. They’ve shown time and again they don’t care about how many of us lose our lives to preventable circumstances, so it’s time to MAKE them care again.
They have successfully jailed the alleged killer. They are trying to also imprison the idea he represents.
Luigi Mangione 💚
Follow the money—because that’s where the power is. The elites crave control, and to grow their wealth, they must control society. Any social group that could challenge their narrative is relentlessly suppressed. Reddit, once a space for free speech, has transformed into what Facebook was—a corporation that bends to their interests. Now, Reddit is just another part of the network they control.
It’s the Luigi overpowered as can be.
Naw, ever see A Bug’s Life where the Crickets only bully the ants because it’s to distract them from realizing a thousand ants are stronger than one cricket?
Yes but in my version it was grasshoppers and not crickets
DAmn, that’s the version where Flick doesn’t have the most amazing tits. He’s still male in mine, he just has great booba, kinda like “TheyCallHimCake”
Well, Trump said that they will push to get the death penalty for drug dealers…
Lock and load, folks.
We’re hunting pharmaceutical CEOs.
Yeah the banning for upvotes thing was pretty final straw for me. It’ll be a conservative shit hole like Twitter soon enough
isnt it already, only allowing some center right content to be on it to “seem balance” but allowing right wingers to astroturf all the subs.
You do bring up a good point
People up voting Luigi posts got banned? Yeah I’m glad I’m not on there anymore. Lemmy seems like my kind of community. Honestly feels like how reddit used to feel like. Good honest people.
They’re receiving warnings and stuff it’s been pretty fucky the last week with them so I’m out. I’ve heard of some bans for some odd stuff but I suppose some of it is hearsay. Yeah I’m really digging Lemmy it feels much more like the earlier internet where algorithms didn’t dictate everything and you can just find stuff organically
upvoting is ridiculous, but from what ive heard another site, Upvoting, in general flags your account if its new on certain subs, i think they are just expanding it to sitewide.
I got banned from late stage capitalism for questioning why they have a hard on for China.
No, not because of that guy. Because of us. They are afraid of us. They should be.
Not sure. I’m still surprised things are so calm, considering the widespread availability of guns in the population.
It is amazing how much fear Luigi has put into the establishment.
Reddit Exodus v43, stay tuned everyone
I left reddit for good yesterday as well. To hell with their censorship.
I hear you. They banned me permanently for being pronouncedly anit-Facist anti-Trump anti-Musk. Reddit is a joke. A decidedly right joke.
They are afraid of copycats, but they had months to try and stop them by just loosening their strangle hold on society. I heard another exec got offed last month in his home in Oregon. it’s starting

Their strategy instead is to announce wars and terrify every 20 minutes so that the news cycle is too full of other crisis to remember this guy.
The thing is, I think our attention spans are too cooked to be overwhelmed like that anymore. A new crisis every 20 minutes? I can get through 40+ tiktok videos in that time, and half of them will be about something they are trying to terrify with (trans rights, science defunding, bird flu, racism, palestine, the oligarchy, luigi, etc.)
The old media can’t keep up, but I’m in my mid-thirties and even my old brain can handle being pulled in dozens of directions and still think about/remember Luigi, unprompted, multiple times a day.
Yeah that’s not going to work when they’re inorganically doing the suppression
Anybody got a wallpaper version of this? LMFAO
Remember, they’re not threatened by Luigi. They’re threatened by the fact that so many people love Luigi and what he stands for.
This. He’s basically a martyr at this point.
Luigi reminded the people that we have power. We don’t need to be subservient to the whims of corporate interests. We can choose to go a different way. He’s in jail but millions of people who are inspired by him are roaming free, any of which could become the next Luigi, and wack some CEO who is devoid of empathy or ethics (which is all of them). Anyone could be the perpetrator, anyone could be the target.
It’s like a large chunk of the USA is now part of anonymous. Expect us.
(And for anyone who binds anonymous with 4chan, you don’t understand anonymous)
Agree. Agree. Agree.

Let’s be real, all it takes is one person struck by tragedy who no longer has anything to live for choosing to go out this way rather than going quietly. Maybe their kid was killed in the nth school shooting of the year. Maybe they’re dying of cancer due to delayed treatment. Maybe they’re financially ruined by medical debt. Like you said Luigi reminded people of what is possible, and there’s plenty of tragedies that can be correctly attributed to the choices of the rich that happen every day
