  • Ever since Spez took over, Reddit have been incredibly heavy-handed when it comes to enforcing their rules against inciting or glorifying violence, even if such a comment is directed towards people that are objectively hated, like nazis, pedophiles and child murderers. To that I’m not even remotely surprised that you got banned.

    Even posting that Nazis deserve to be punched in the face can get you a permanent ban from Reddit… You know… the people who over 80 years ago were responsible for gassing 6 million Jews, 6 million Russian POWs and thousands of homosexuals and political dissidents.


  • Lemmy is undeniably smaller but it feels a lot more free, like I’m not walking on eggshells when posting here.

    On Reddit I have to mince my words on a lot of subs and be careful about using certain words, lest I want Automoderator to effectively shadowban me. Reddit is ruled by tyrannical power mod assholes who likely got slammed into lockers and beaten for their lunch money in high school, and are now using their role as an internet janitor to exert a repressed power fantasy. And don’t get me started on the Tintin-looking supreme cuck who owns Reddit Inc either.

    Put it this way, Lemmy is a place where you can post about Luigi Mangione, or about the people involved in Elon Musk’s DOGE operation without risking a ban.












  • Jokes aside, I prefer Burger King to McDonalds, and I think it’s because McDonalds came under a lot more scrutiny in my country and had been forced to tone down their menu and marketing. Maccy D’s were the ones who rapidly expanded in the UK and also made bank from Happy Meals and the child market, so of course they’d have all eyes upon them.

    McDonalds are trying to make their menus and advertising appear healthier, whereas BK are like “look at this sexy dripping quarter pound whopper, you know you want it you fat fuck!”

    And that’s why I can order a Bacon Double Cheeseburger XL from my local BK and feel like I’m actually eating a burger, whereas the equivalent in a McDonalds costs 30% less but is half the size, doesn’t taste flame grilled and looks like it was rapidly cobbled from preprocessed shit that’s less than 32% meat.
