I’ve seen a few posts advocating various ill fortune for billionaires get removed. As I said somewhere else, I can kind of understand it from a CYA perspective. The staff don’t want to turn into a violent conspiracy hub. On the other, billionaires are ruining the world for everyone else and defending them is fucked up when viewed like that.
I wasn’t even advocating for anything or celebrating a death, just making a dark joke about not caring because it was a billionaire. I mean, I definitely DO consider billionaires and hectomillionaires inherently harmful, but unless they’re KNOWN to be truly heinous like Trump, Kissinger, or Limbaugh, I don’t go anywhere near as far as to actually celebrate their death, which is what the rule specifically forbids.
I get how there has to be a limit, but joking about not caring about some billionaire who wasn’t even a public figure? That’s not harming anyone unless you’re saying it at the family or sadistic shit like that 🤷
Yup, that’s the one. My joke was basically complaining that it was cruel to connect her to Mitch Mcconnell just because her sister married him and then saying “nevermind, she was a billionaire 🤷”
Checking back, it’s a veritable massacre of deleted comments on that post, probably a dozen or two other people banned as well. Looks like the mods panicked lol
That’s weird… I’m pretty sure it can’t be a defederation issue since you’re on sh.itjust.works and it can’t be because it hasn’t federated YET either since it’s a post from yesterday 🤔
