Can’t remember the last time that a headline about someone being shot and killed brought a smile to my face, but here we are. Brian Thompson deserves no sympathy.
Comment’s still up after an hour, yup, looks like the mods here are pretty good. I like this place. Over in /c/news the modlog is insane, looks like it’d be easier to just remove themselves from the Fediverse rather than try and remove all the comments that might hint at “celebrating violence”.
Hopefully it stays that way! Most communities here seem to have a fucked up version of moderation where going “I’m glad Hitler is dead” yields a ban for celebrating violence lol
That is reddit, and it’s only for billionaires and fascists. If you cheer at the murder of a leftist or anti-zionist reporter they might give you gold.
Personally I’m glad Hitler is dead but I don’t approve of the person who shot him.
The thing is that none of us celebrate violence and certainly not murder, but when this is the closest thing to justice that we get for people like him?
Id like to formally propose !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world as the new /c/news lmao
Oddly enough, this is an example of when satire becomes the safest place for discourse. I’m all for it, lol!
Huh, from your post I’d assumed it painted a brutal picture of him. Instead, it’s basically just his family and company saying “he was such a nice man”.
I expected better, NPR.
Don’t expect a mainstream news outlet to condone an assassination.
Also, don’t feel the need to have a mainstream news outlet validate your ideas.
I made almost verbatim this same comment in c/news and mods deleted it, instance level tos violation.
EDIT: Oh, interesting, looks like my 24 ban to all of world got lifted, after I made a thread elsewhere showcasing myself and a bunch of others getting their comments deleted and temp banned.
Guess lemmy.world uses the old school twitter / twitch approach to moderation.
You can get instance wide ban? How have I not gotten one yet I’ve been really pissing off the libs since they lost the US election by being insufferable

Yeah, I got an instance wide, 24 hr temp ban…
Made a thread in yepowertrippinbastards on db0’s anarchist instance, a community that exists to report on silly mod activity, and within about one or two ish hours, after a good bit of discussion, including at least a few mods for various .world communities, and possibly a .world admin?
… 24 temp ban removed, or shortened to 2hrs or whatever.
How have you not gotten one?
My guess would be ‘post insane shit, mods/admins are sleeping’.
(For anyone interested, i am summarizing a good deal here, a lot more people than myself got temp banned and comments deleted, i did actually say something ‘more extreme’ in a seperate comment, but the point of me complaining was that the mods were going wild, check the mod log or db0 for more context)
I have an old friend named Brian Thompson who is 100% not this Brian Thompson.
I feel bad for him having this guys name today and how much shit he’ll hear about it.
My college buddy has a last name of Epstein. He did not have a good time for two months straight. And my poor friend Karen now goes by Karey.
