    I got banned from /c/news for “advocating” violence after making a joke about not being able to identify the suspect in the UnitedHealth CEO thread.

    Edit: Remember violence is reserved for the government to oppress people. You are supposed to just sit there and take it.

      Same. Joked about starting a gofundme for the shooter. I thought better of Lemmy. Ah well.

      There’s a reason most of us have .world instance blocked.

      I’m sure there’s some poor mod on there in a community that just unfortunately was started on there, but genuinely it’s a better lemmy experience without.

        The people talking in this particular thread, and OP, kind of seem like they don’t realize Lemmy isn’t just Lemmy.world.

        Like does OP realize that this community is on db0 and isn’t subject to the rules on the .world instance?

          The fediverse is a complicated subject, even amongst those smart enough, or just clever enough, to find lemmy. Many users do think whatever instance they joined is the main one, still others believe .world or .ml as the “main” instance ruling over all others.

          It’s weird thinking of a service being this disparate, even if you try to use discord or other similar platform as an analogy, it still fails to acknowledge there is not central server or ruleset (beyond the software license itself).

          Bluesky further fucked things up by claiming to be decentralized and federated, and then getting popular.

          In short yes, many so think replying here means .world mods will ban their unrelated lemmy account from all of lemmy.
