I’ve confirmed this with multiple accounts now. If you promote the 2nd amendment, including training responsibly with others, your account will be autobanned within 60 seconds.
To be clear, my comments contained exactly zero calls to violence. They were simple comments stating every American has the right to arm themselves and that everyone should train responsibly, ideally with others who are more experienced.
I’ve had 4 or 5 accounts autobanned within a minute now. All immediately after posting pro 2nd amendment comments. These accounts were anywhere from 1 week to multiple months old. So they’re not brand new accounts that are being flagged for whatever reason.
Reddit is now complicit in the fascist takeover of our nation.
But why? Humans still moderate it, everything can be deleted, humans can be corrupted and bought. I can bet my left ball on the fact that if some corpo offered every community mod 1 million dollars to sell the community or something, nearly all would take it. Nothing personal against Lemmy mods, it’s just human nature.
I absolutely would, and then I’d create a parallel community to my old one right next to it and keep on as normal. That’ll be $1,000,000, please…
I imagine that could buy plenty of server hardware for your own damn Lemmy instance, even at today’s RAM prices.
You rarely sell the product - you sell the userbase. Rebuilding server or website is easy. Good luck making another reddit or Lemmy a viable thing. Seemingly the main reason why Lemmy isn’t a dead platform is because reddit severely fucked up
My viewership numbers, if upvotes are to be believed, rarely exceed double digits. For a million bucks, I wouldn’t be too broken up about it.
Just in case anyone important is listening.
lol
Because it’s not bought and paid for by corporate overlords
