      They don’t need an account to read everyone’s posts. The real stealth is that some instances are likely run by states so they have your IP.

      ( I found it odd that Lemmy.world, which claims to be in Netherlands, censored many Luigi threads during the first week.)

        They probably don’t want to get sued. I disagree with removing Luigi posts, but they’re a huge instance run by individuals who also have a life and getting sued would be catastrophic

        .world has a community dedicated to him by now. Maybe they were a bit overprotective at the beginning. I think I saw a post once that said “don’t post such memes in communities about XYZ”. Maybe it really was more a community thing than the instance

        Well, some people took it a bit too far. I get the message that health insurance companies are hell, but applauding murder… Are we better than them if we do that?

          Am I better than someone that legally murdered hundreds of thousands for cheering someone that illegally murdered that 1 person? Yes. Yes I am.

            My point is, using the opportunity to open the debate on the complete despair of people oppressed by private healthcare is the way to go. Let’s just not make this about revenge on the rich CEOs involved. Removing their privilege is revenge enough.
