      Eh, as a former Reddit mod, when the majority of comments are racism/transphobia, the easiest way to handle it is to lock the post.

      Yeah, it’s kinda laziness, but when you have a life and don’t want to babysit a post for the next day… you don’t really have many options.

    Don’t get so haughty. Lemmy.world (based on the Netherlands) deletes posts and bans users that mention support for Luigi.

    Earlier today I replied to a post on Lemmy.world about this problem, saw my post had many up votes and replied. But I couldn’t respond to any of them because the post had been deleted by mods.

            How do I change this account to a different instance?

            Also can’t the world admins just censor my comments no matter what instance i am a part of if I comment on a lemmy.world post?

              There are two sides to the coin, just as you can chose which instances to use, they’re free to run their instance how they like, which is how it should be in my opinion. I think it’s a bit strong to call it censorship; it’s their website, their servers, and if enough people don’t like it they can just not post there. This is the same freedom we had with old-style forums, because there was no monopoly in many cases you could select a forum based on if you liked how it was run.

              You’re right, they have moderation control over lemmy.world posts, but it’s still your decision to post there. If you feel that strongly about it you can even chose an instance that doesn’t federate with lemmy.world, they exist.

              You’ll have to sign up for a new account, yes, but is that a big loss? I mean there’s no karma here, your existing posts and account won’t go away, it’ll just not be the main account you log into any more. I personally think it’s not a bad idea to have accounts on a few instances, I’ve moved around through several.

              You can’t transfer (to the best of my knowledge), so you just start a new name on a different instance. I used to be on .world but hopped to Blåhaj for various reasons. When I want to reduce my internet drama for a bit, I block .world temporarily. It’s great.

      Glorifying the wrong kind of murder. If this had been a homeless guy on the subway getting strangled to death by someone the media felt comfortable venerating, Mangione would be sharing box seats with the Vice President right now.

        Please show me an example where the glorification of a murder of a homeless person has been publicly accepted?

            The case sparked national debate, with some hailing Penny as a hero for attempting to subdue a man he considered a menace to public safety and others seeing him as a white vigilante who choked a Black man to death.

            Some New Yorkers protested the trial outcome this week, holding signs and chanting Jordan Neely’s name in a Manhattan square.

            Penny has been hailed a hero by many, but Neely’s death also divided the city as residents grapple with how to respond to mental health crises threatening public safety.

            Do you people not read the shit you reference? Also, if you take this as an example and direct comparison, does that mean you think the murder of this guy was also justified? Does that mean you like the orange fascist?

                That’s some prime cherry picking. lmao Just ignore the outcry and the consequence of your statement behind it. Alright, I guess we just go around and murder everyone who we want to now. Seems like that’s what you all want.

                  Just ignore the outcry

                  These aren’t mutually exclusive.

                  Alright, I guess we just go around and murder everyone who we want to now.

                  Our western judicial system is helping to define a group of people for whom it is acceptable to murder and a group for whom it is not. If you want to kill a vagrant on a subway, you’re likely going to get away without serious consequences. If you kill a CEO, probably not.
