Oh gosh, I wonder how long they had this community on their site! This must be a new phenomenon that just slipped through the cracks! Let me check Archive.org

Oh… this community has been active since 2013…

Time to hide your crimes, right, Reddit? Fucking dog shit website has a long history of hosting the most depraved and vile shit without a single peep until the media comes sniffing around.

“Violence has no place on Reddit,” the spokesperson said. “Our sitewide rules strictly prohibit any content that encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence. In line with these rules, we are removing any instances of the suspect’s manifesto or recordings and hashing to prevent reupload. We’re also closely monitoring the communities on our platform to ensure compliance with our rules.”

The same site that popularized the usage of “Orcs” when talking about Russians, maintains a popular subreddit called r/CombatFootage with 1.8 million users.

        This gave me an idea. Ended up being awful

        CW: Cognitohazard, death

        Luffy Monkey D. was the one in class

        Who never got brutally harassed

        This went on for years

        After .world decided that never again

        Would he debate another bear

        So he walked through the door

        Grabbed a four-four and made a website to explain all his lore

        And said there should be life no more

        And like that life can be lost

        But this ain’t even about that

        All of us just sat back

        And watched it happen

        Thinkin’ it’s not my responsibility to bully an asshole

        That isn’t federated with me

        This is our problem

        This is just one of the daily scenarios

        Which we choose to close our eyes

        Instead of doing the right thing

        If we make a choice and be the voice for

        Pigs who shit all over themselves

        How many lives would be saved, changed, rearranged

        Now it’s our time to pick a side

        So don’t keep postin’ by

        Not wanting to intervene

        'Cause you wanna exist and never be mean

        So let’s log on and change the world

        Our time is now

        Lemmy.world is defederated from hexbear? What cowards. They’re just becoming an echo chamber.

    I love how the neolib response to this is always “let it get to the point where someone dies and ONLY THEN remove it.” Unlimited free speech advocates stay losing as always

        Ain’t like they care. I bet it’s a liability thing where they don’t want any legal or regulatory backlash but they’ll be happy to welcome them in the name of engagement under another thin veil as soon as they can get away with it.

    Violence has no place on Reddit,” the spokesperson said

    Oh fuck right off. Unless it’s directed towards marginalized communities, right? And people can play word games so the algorithm misses the clear bigotry which means your fascist platform is squeaky clean

      remember how long they kept the_donald on the front page and then in quarantine despite egging on multiple terror attacks and shootings when CTH was made to jump through hoops only to get banned anyway

      these darkseid wannabe anti-life people are quite different from “hey maybe having a kid is bad for the kid, considering: gestures broadly

      there’s plenty of resources to go around if porky-happy wasn’t hoarding, and people who decide not to have children on the basis of the life that child will live might change their minds if material and social conditions are conducive to not dying of bird flu in the climate wars.

        They are very different, and it’s quite evident in their comments.

        That’s exactly my take on it. I don’t wanna force a child to be a capitalist worker drone slave, dealing the climate change crisis. That’s cruel, even assuming they’re a white cismale able-bodied person that fascists deem worthy of the privilege of slavery.

        heavy moderation for anyone not following the State Department line.

        I literally just had a comment documenting their censorship and bullshit removed, included the line “Watch carefully for the removal of this comment.”

        Wanna bet if I call it out I get banned?
