Day 3 of only upvoting non-violent Luigi content.

Man isn't even convicted yet and his name is taboo.
The rich are scared. Good. They should be.
- That’s exactly what we need to take from this. Not that money is in control and that’s why they’re cracking down, but that they’re cracking down because they’re scared.
- Reddit is more okay with people where we have indisputable video of them killing someone else in cold blood than someone who police just say trust us bro he did it.
  Amazing how the admins react to things
  
  alot of the videos subs, like publicfreakout according to some people on the same site said they are mostly FORMER leo, or leo mods. and i had several comment removals, report abuse removals,,,etc.
- They can be scared, but unless ten, fifty, or one hundred green Mario brothers appear nothing will change.
- His name isn't taboo, it's just the asslicker self-chosen slaves of the rich that want to silence it.

"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, reading content that breaks the rules is also considered a violation."
"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, thinking about breaking the law is also considered a violation."
"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, protesting human rights violations is also considered a violation."
"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, being an unapproved minority is also considered a violation."
"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, not drinking enough verification cans is also considered a violation."
They're scared. Spez knows his neck is on the line in a more literal fashion than ever.
- While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, not buying a Tesla is also considered a violation.
  Ahhhhhhhhh now I see what the enforcement angle is on orangeboi declaring that an “illegal boycott” (a term that makes roughly as much sense as “aerodynamic bedsheet”)
  
  (a term that makes roughly as much sense as “aerodynamic bedsheet”)
  What other kind of sheets would you get for a racecar bed?
- They're scared. Spez knows his neck is on the line in a more literal fashion than ever.
- me being banned from r/freeluigi twice for innocuous comments
- Just like lemmy

When money is speech, speech is not free.
- Damn, that's good. Someone tell congress.
  
  Nobody here can afford to speak to Congress
  
  Congress is aware. That's why they passed Citizens United.
  Edit: wait that was a Supreme Court decision but my point remains the same
  
  No it’s ok they need nappies because they’re tired from doing nothing

So they are dictating the things we can like now? Lol what a shit site that has become. Such a shame. I love it here though so I guess it all worked out
- Regime front online doing regime whoring...
- That’s how and why I joined over here. They implemented the upvote = ban policy. I got a warning. I have no idea what for because I pretty much upvote everything I read. I am pretty loose and will even upvote entire argument threads if I think the argument is worthwhile to read.
  As soon as I was warned for upvoting the wrong thing, but not told which of my thousands of upvotes were wrong, I deleted Reddit.
  Anyway, it’s nice here on Lemmy.

They couldn't make everyone hate him, so now they're trying to make everyone forget about him.
- Nobody is forgetting an American hero!
- How could people forget the first American hero in a long time?
  We need more of him, if any.

They ban u for upvoting? Not even commenting, but literally just upvoting?
- That's why I finally pulled the plug on my 14 year old account. That Orwellian bullshit is a deal breaker.
  
  My 12 year old account got permanently suspended after an alt got a ban from r/entertainment for disagreeing with someone. Neither of us warranted a ban. Since I couldn’t block the sub from the news feed I accidentally commented again in the sub with my banned account not realizing the sub I was in. Then I commented with my main and got permanently banned. I appealed but didn’t get a response. This all happened over the course of a month or so and left an awful taste in my mouth.
- I don’t know if you saw this article, but it’s a fascinating and infuriating read, it’s about all of the Luigi censorship and the upvote policing. It’s scary as hell. Check it out
  
  It talks about terrorist propaganda. I know a little bit about extremist groups use of social media... the tldr is social media is riddled with it. If they're saying that's the motivation then they are using that as an excuse. It's ALWAYS been on reddit p, it's nothing but a cover story.
- That's what they said!

Please let them implode.
I want Lemmy to have niche content. I'm tired of being a bitter asshole about politics and news on here. I want to gleefully distract myself while my country burns, not be ultra depressed about it because its constantly in my face.
- yeah i always like the beginning of a new platform in the first few years where everyone is just having fun before the hoards come and commercialization happens.
  
  I don't know how likely commercialization is on a platform developed by communists. Seems kind of unlikely.

ATTENTION CITIZEN:
YOU ARE IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW.
OFFENSE: Inciting subversion of state power
PRESENT YOURSELF TO YOUR NEAREST FBI OFFICE IMMEDIATELY.

where on reddit can I find lots of Luigi content? I'm interested in having my 7yr old account banned
- Before getting banned it's probably a good idea to remove or replace all of your posts and comments with something like https://redact.dev/services/reddit
  Reddit monetizes the content that users create so remove that content. The admins probably have tools to restore deleted comments and posts but that takes effort and time and if enough time goes by data and backups get lost.
  
  do you know how to download all of my reddit history for personal use? redacting is a good idea, but I want to keep it available to myself in case I need to look up something in there
  
  Tbh I really do think the ship has sailed on that. They’re 100% archiving and off lining (and probably violating the shit out of GDPR) stuff to sell to LLM companies. Not to mention, that data’s already been tokenized and ingested into the systems, and from a computational and logical standpoint, it’s actually a pretty fucking hard problem that people are still trying to figure out how to dis/prove, let alone do reliably and effectively.
  Your shit’s been snarfed. So has mine. I don’t mean to be a dick, but we will need to get over it, because there’s no recourse here. Don’t forget, but just account for it and don’t get too bent out of shape over it.
  
  Aw bummer I deleted my account before seeing this :\
  
  i just ended up deleting like 2 accounts worth of posts, might as well not let them get any data to mine.
- https://www.reddit.com/r/Luigi
- It's time consuming but just checkout popular and keep scrolling/refreshing for an hour, you'll find it but they'll all be removed within days.
- Don't do it. Sell it to spammers so you get some money and Reddit gets some spam!

all violence is encouraged except violence against the overlords
- Violence against their preferred overlords

Whatever their goal is, one result is apparent: less voicing of opposite views to the status quo on their website.
- You will lick boot and you will like it!
  
  only in the bedroom
- It's literally Orwell's "wrongthink" - which is a thoughtcrime on Reddit.
- Less voicing of views, period. Reddit doesn't want user interaction. Only views. The bots generate the content while the users are there to generate ad revenue.

Hahahahahahahhahahaha this is wild. It’s so blatant. It’s just so unrepentantly, obviously, nakedly blatant. Jesus fuck.
Like im glad you guys are all getting out and finding us and other similar communities, but like… the societal and systemic implications of them going so hard on this on reddit makes me shudder to consider how insane moderation must be getting on normie social networks, which have been traditionally WILDLY awful on that point even before we decided to break fascist. This is them actively and aggressively suppressing free speech. Mahmoud Khalil was/is another instance of that. This is us not keeping the republic.
- From what I've heard from relatives on Meta-owned social networks, it's pretty bad
- don't forget tiktok. they went down the shitter too. i only still use it because it has better editing on it than rednote.... Then I go and post my video edited on tiktok to rednote.

Talk about the thought police! I saw it coming for awhile, but past me from a decade ago is shocked that Reddit has come to this.

Don't get permabanned! Sell your precious account first ;) it will be used to spam on Reddit and you'll get some money, it's a win-win situation!
- How much are they worth?
  
  The real questions here!
- Who that fuck buys reddit accounts? And where to sell them? ( I certainly would not do that ...)
  
  I certainly would not do that either...
  
  i know a forum that would, usually people who got banned from reddit, they would use that to promote thier links/advertisement to earn money.
- Yes, please tell us where we need to not go to avoid accidentally selling our reddit accounts
- theres a forum where people will buy accts, but they wont buy one that is tainted or flagged though, they prefer new accts, or old accts with good standing. reddit will still catch them eventually though.

If you wanna do it fast, just speak ill of fascists. Worked for me.
- Nazi website
- I said 53 days closer to his obituary. I'm not sure how that's anything but an actual truth? But whatever. Fuck those knee benders.

Banning accounts from just upvoting is insane.

I recommend u guys try Lemmy. I feel like Reddit is reaching its EOL
- How do i join lemmy
  
  Lemmy.com
- reddit reached enshitification several years ago.
  
  2017 was more than several years ago
- I've never heard of this platform! Where can I sign up?
  
  It doesn't really exist mate, it's a joke post

Migrate your posts to lemmy first (some of the lemmy apps can do this in bulk). Then Edit your old posts and comments, slowly, then delete them slowly. It's your content not Reddits.
By doing this it devalues Reddit in the process as it becomes void of human content only left with AI slop. They certainly dont value the content creators which made Reddit so why should you.
- Can someone create a guide with this? Best tools, what to do if the comment thread isn't also on Lemmy, how to change your Reddit comments to gibberish, etc
  Or does this guide already exist? (Should be included on the welcome letter to Lemmy if so)
- Your changes get undone
- I made the mistake of not doing this. I was so fed up with reddit that I had to get off there ASAP.
- I wished I knew this before moving here. Lol my 13yo Reddit account is piss in the wind now. Oh well! Lol

Reddit has been hell for a long time. Posts advocating genocide of Arabs get upvoted regularly, and any pushback gets you banned. The fediverse is marginally better.
Anyways welcome to the club. First time?
- How is fediverse only marginally better tho?!
  Beside lemmy.world regime whore mods.... We don't accept Zionism here!
- any criticism of israel especially on worldnews got me banned temporarily early in the war, never visited that sub since. originally i was visiting it because of the ukraine war. almost all the political and news sub massively up thier filters to remove comments or bans.

Fucking cowards sending out the messages from an account that you can't even reply to? Are they also sending out these messages to people upvoting /r/Conservative content? What about/r/Conspiracy?
- most tech should be considered state media at this point. during covid i said something about omicron being more transmissible than the original variant even in vaccinated people (true statement) - perma banned with no warning. now if you don't immediately condemn "hate" towards nazis you are also banned/warned lol
- Dude one of my guilty pleasures on Reddit was r/fightporn. You’re telling me people are getting this kind of warning while the site also hosts a sub dedicated to real street fights? Fuck outta here
- Fucking cowards sending out the messages from an account that you can’t even reply to?
  Not even really cowardice when you consider how bare bones their staff is. Even if they gave a shit about users, real monetization costs money and Reddit hates spending.
  
  Reddit hates spending money
  Reddit hates people using it. "Look at these bandwidth costs!"
  They keep making their site worse and getting more pissed off as people continue to use it lol

Man am I glad i left that honey-boo-boo-moderated shit show

Do you even get told what you upvoted that was ‘problematic’ or just gotta guess outta the 37 things you upvoted yesterday? Lol
- Nope! I got individual comments removed, and subreddit bans so I have a good idea. Anything even vaguely mentioning use of force will do it. One comment said "don't give Republicans an inch", I said "let's give them 9mm" and permaban.
  This message was just anything vaguely supporting Luigi Mangione. Examples "innocent until proven guilty".
  
  What? I thought Republicans love their 9mm! They certainly wouldn't let you take their 9mm away!
- Nahh... The criminal should spend some time some search and figure what actually offended daddy
- I was warned on an upvote (plural and Reddit said it wasn’t a mistake because I “habitually upvote violence”) but not what or when I upvoted.
  I upvote thousands of comments. Literally no idea what the criteria is so I stopped upvoting. Then I was like, whatever I’ll join Lemmy fuck this nonsense.

#FreeLuigi
- If they can pardon the January 6th hostages.....
  Remember, Jury Nullification!

Darn. I guess this means me making a Reddit account to confess that Luigi was my first videogame character crush ever is out of the question.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reddit-comment-replacer/ I just found this. Replaces all your comments. Easy peasy.
- They have ways to roll this back from what I've heard.
  
  Yep, apparently they backup accounts on a schedule.

Can anyone suggest how to get banned with my dormant reddit account? I wanna post something about Luigi
- https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
  Change all your comments en mass
  All the thousands of mine say
  "Reddit has become a very large cesspool of poison, supporting genocide (Israel & Russia) and suppressing basic human rights. The admins have gone apeshit banning people for any reason, mentioning "luigi", even in a Nintendo context.
  FUCK REDDIT and IT'S ADMINS.
  FUCK RACIST, RAPIST, TRUMP
  FUCK NAZI ELON MUSK
  FUCK BILLIONAIRES/OLIGARCHS, THEY SHOULD ALL BE LUIGI'D.
  FUCK EVERYONE ON THE EPSTEIN LIST, DIE IN A FIRE.
  FREE PALESTINE, SUPPORT UKRAINE. BE HUMAN.
  DELETE or BAN this account, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT. PEOPLE OVER PROFIT."
  Just got off a 3 day ban, waiting on permanan
  
  So you basically got the same "punishment' as someone that is talking about Mario s best buddy. Sounds fair to me /sssss
  
  Thanks for the info!
- Go to the Luigi subreddit and upvote everything there if you're really in a hurry.
  
  I made a post on ask reddit simply asking why elon or Trump hasn't been assassinated yet. It got deleted pretty quick and my account got a "warning"
  
  Can you link?
  
  I think posting is faster
- i replied already, but here are my comments. they've not been changed back since my ban expired - https://old.reddit.com/user/thermal_shock/comments/
- Can you post about "eating the poor"? I'm interested to see if it's considered violent or nor.

Oligarchs & Israel are in charge now. Welcome to your new reality.
- and PUTIN, i remember at the begining of feb they started using the russian bought grifter "end wokeness" to quikcly astroturf luigi, when we hadnt heard from the russians like for 2 months.

hey so i started looking at a new place because I'm tired of reddit and the people on it.... My upvotes began just disappearing. I hate to be that person, but I think I was shadowbanned. I didn't even know that was a real thing until reddit. When the little reddit guy's back is turned on your icon you're in some kind of restricted mode. Anyway, i noticed my upvotes weren't showing and someone else kinda fiddled with it with me to see what was going on. I don't know if this is related to luigi but it's some weird nonsense.
- You sir or ma'am were shadowbanned. They want your views, not your voice. Basically you are ad revenue to them, if they ban you they lose that sweet juicy $.02 from their advertiser. They want two cents from their advertiser, just not from you.
  
  exactly. i always thought shadowbanning was a thing people just said when mad until i noticed that on reddit.

Now I feel challenged to do the same and have my inactive account banned.

By this logic is the platform its self not breaking the rules by allowing a forum for the conversation to take place?
Getting band for something like this is like the equivalent of seeing a graffiti artist painting something on a public wall, smiling or nodding in approval, and getting a ticket handed to you around the corner for "participating".
- If they make the rules they can't break them. Just like how our felon president walks completely free.

Upvoting with intent
- I'm guiltier than Luigi.
- Oh that's a good one!

I overwrote all my comments with the following today :
Leopard Urinating In Geocached Inventory
I'm not petty at all 😅

Luigi? You mean green mario?
- no, mark rosario

Can you or somebody else with a Reddit account post a photo of Woody Guthrie to r/pics and/or some major history subreddit and title it “Woody Guthrie and his iconic guitar” but use the Reddit alien logo as a censor over the “This machine kills fascists” written on his guitar?

We all should crowd source buying Reddit accounts and just spam the fuck out of Reddit with Join Lemmy posters lmao
- Or just stop posting there and let them rot.
- Or just sell your account to spammers so you earn some money and Reddit gets some spam

Took less than 1 for me, but it was only a 10 year old account

1984
- Did you mean 1984? Lol

I thought that Comedy was legal again?
So much for free speech!
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
- Only comedy revolving around punching down is legal. Joke around about punching up... that's illegal now.
  
  Illegal! Just like Elon's immigration status when he and his brother overstayed their visa!
  Also Epstein set up his brother on a date!
  Bazinga!

no fucking way lmao
- I believe it. I got warned and had my comment deleted for “glorifying violence”
  I was supporting Canadian boycotts of American goods.
  Let that sink in - I was reprimanded for glorifying violence because I supported economic protests.
  What is an economic protest if not literally the primary, go-to alternative to violent protest?
- Seems like half of Lemmy is here in the last 2 weeks for the same reason I am.
  
  it was ongoing since DEC, they just ramping up the ban filters each month. Luigi keep reappearing on reddit in JAN so they quickly quashed it, and then again on feb. next thing you know they will start banning based on "referral or implying violence"(ive been banned for that in the past")

Be sure to delete your old content. They did the warning: 3 day suspension:perma-ban combo on me (all in one day), so I couldn't delete mine.

HELL YES COMRADE, FIGHT THE POWER
fr though, this is such a badass way to get banned. don't even reply to them - just keep doing the thing, post, and watch as every pathetic attempt at intimidation gets hundreds of defiant upvotes here.
- Uh yea I'm actually approaching the amount of Reddit karma on Lemmy in my first week LOL. Guess I know where all the good commenters went now.

One of my buddies was recently complaining about "free speech" on Reddit.
Told him it's a company and not the government, so free speech doesn't count there. He hated that.
Told him if he didn't like it to use Bluesky...he's a staunch conservative...lol

What did the comment say? I'm curious now lol
- Pictures of Luigi Mangione, "Innocent until proven guilty", pictures of Luigi/Mario, Luigi's pizza, "Innocent until proven not guilty". The most explicit, maybe "DDD".
  "Fiery death to all humans". You know, normal stuff.

it doesn't take too long. just get banned by a sub, then post on the sub under an alt. they banned all my accts going back 14 years by fingerprint

I deleted my 11 year old Reddit account a couple days ago after being banned for quoting The Sopranos. On r/movies. As a response to another Sopranos quote.
For most of those 11 years I had no problems then just in the last month I was banned sitewide twice (for threatening behavior, I was venting about fascists and used violent rhetoric I guess, mind you this was on a repost of that famous video of a Nazi getting punched), given this same warning you got about upvoting things they didn’t like, permabanned from r/movies (again for the same quote), I just reached my limit. Reddit was great for me for a long time but I am better off without it. I was on it too much anyways!

Please read the rules again so that you don't break them.
- I tattooed their rules to my chest and I still got warned.

Keep on the good job

Yooooo I scrubbed my profile when I left but this would be a great way to finally get it dealt with for good.
- Oh they're definitely still keeping your data either way
  
  I know that. I used the platform for free, of course they're going to keep the information. What I'm trying to do is make any thread I ever posted on or posted a little more unusable and littered with remnants of some info that was there but now isn't. I know there have been instances in the past where they resurrect a deleted post or comment because it was relevant, but I don't think anything I ever did got nearly enough traction to warrant that. So I'll do whatever I can, it's better than not doing anything.

I got a 3 day temp ban on my account
Because I voiced my opinion that polish military should burn Moscow to the ground
- Bastards...
