      FWIW, seeing that the link was to an archive encouraged me to check out this Lemmy post. I understand the policy decision, but I wish I could see an indication in my feed that an archive link is available.

        Understandable, although it is difficult and time-consuming to moderate such links, and nearly impossible if they are allowed outright. In this case, there was already significant discussion before it was identified (as well as other factors), so I made a judgement call to permit the rule violation. This is a user who should know better.

        You may be interested in using the tesseract lemmy client, which provides a smart linkbox on every post which includes archive links, etc.

      Not even an acknowledgement from OP, that’s just disrespectful and shitty.

    This article fails to mention that Huffman has previously praised Musk and how he runs Twitter.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/reddit-blackout-protest-private-ceo-elon-musk-huffman-rcna89700

    Huffman said he saw Musk’s handling of Twitter, which he purchased last year, as an example for Reddit to follow.

    More importantly he’s a doomsday prepper with fucked up views:

    https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/01/30/doomsday-prep-for-the-super-rich

    I also have this somewhat egotistical view that I’m a pretty good leader. I will probably be in charge, or at least not a slave, when push comes to shove.

      YES!! THANK YOU!!

      huffman caught whiff of what’s happening, and this is just a stupid empty move to stir people up and try to cause chaos. everything that’s happening is so that people can manipulate and exploit investments. i got my second (or third? fourth?) permanent ban for bringing it up… well probably - i don’t know because reddit removes the comment it bans you for and doesn’t let you see it. so fucking done.

    I am literally here, now, commenting on this because I am reading the article to this on reddit and … I can’t believe they are going to start punishing upvotes! That is the final stray for Reddit. Its dead. Gone the way of Digg. I am literally here now to start moving over to Lemmy.

    I just realized - and must keep in mind, with a federated platform like lemmy, all of your upvotes and downvotes are broadcasted across the network. ANYONE could track your upvotes and downvotes in THIS system.

    I had no idea how much I valued voting privacy.

      You don’t have voting privacy here on Lemmy though, and theoretically instance admins could “punish” you based on voting patterns.

      But decentralization helps that

      You are not allowed to even nod at a reddit article anymore. The voting system on lemmy is broken though. Your votes shouldn’t follow you.

    The entire system wants you to forget about Luigi and the entire issue. Sort of memory hole it like so many other things and let them punish him in secret. So it’s no surprise Reddit and others will try to Streisand it.

      Exactly. That’s the best part. There would have been a Luigi article every once in a while giving an update or whatever. Nothing is going on with him rn. But blocking his name is getting everyone talking about him again, and some are switching platforms because of it.

    LOL Tiktok sent me a message for posting “Incarcerate Mango Mussolini” as a violation of it’s community guidelines so it seems like it’s happening everywhere.

    Fuck you tiktok, you can’t stop me.

    EDIT: Formating

      I admit I’m not up to date on the leaning of various social media, but I had thought Tiktok, being Chinese-owned, might approve of more anti-Trump sentiment. Maybe they were more attuned to the “Incarcerate” portion.

        TikTok has changed to be super right wing as well as soon as they came back from the first ban to appease The Orange Turd. Multiple folks are noticing comments that are racist, hate inspired, misogynistic, go unpunished. However if I where to put the poop emoji in response to what I would be in a high fear situation it gets banned due to community guidelines as most of my post are antifa in nature.

        Basically, they are trying to become truth social

    I spoke with the moderation team for r/PublicFreakout, who told me: “It started with r/comics.” In late January, a cartoonist was permanently banned from the comics subreddit for “Nazi apologia,” after posting a comment dismissing the idea that Musk had made a Nazi salute at the inauguration (a gesture that, notably, had inspired a wide swath of moderators to block X links from their subreddits). Musk found that cartoonist’s tweet and called his ban “insane,” inspiring his followers to assail r/comics.

    That’s some bull shit. Well we are seeing a serge. So come on down! The fediverse will talk when reddit won’t allow you.

      Unfortunately those aren’t safe either :/ The article mentions how several subs for the game Luigi’s Mansion got banned, even though they have nothing you do with Mangione
