I'm just here to point out that everyone's going to use the downvote button as a "disagree" button and the upvote as "agree," and there's nothing anyone can do to stop us. You can't hold back the tide.

dios mío, A LIBERAL!

PTB, comments celebrating a person who's horrible are not encouraging violence. This is clearly an attempt from the mods to push their agenda. Their replies here in this thread support this theory.

for me i consider human life sacred and despite the mistakes of this person only God may judge us.

I think this comment snippet speaks for itself honestly.

looks like most of the mod actions you are looking at were done by little_cow (do not tag or harass) who has actually been fairly decent and understanding in my interactions with them.

very likely these actions are being done by threat of the .world admins, who cannot be replaced or swayed as it’s their property (servers) that host the content. not getting in on either side of this because honestly idgaf but if any of this upsets you:

vote with your activity and registration and stop using lemmy.world. i was here before they essentially made lemmy a centralized platform and trust me it was way cooler back then, it could be that way again.

I'm not at all surprised by the negative talk, but removing the thread is a terrible look.

The news is still relevant, current, developing, and of interest to many people, including me.

Let people be jerks. If I recall, the first comment to be removed was about guillotines. Bad taste, yes, but c'mon.

A 24 hour temp ban for celebrating violence is actually pretty reserved. Certainly not power tripping.

Lol I heard they were removing stuff but I was expecting, like, actionable threats of violence. This is just, like, "It's against the rules to fail to sufficiently mourn your cruel overlords."

It's a ban fest!

Glad I got in an "eat shit, mod" before I was banned.

I want to say that this is a case where it's not clearly either a PTB or a YDI situation. The mods seem to be enforcing their comm/instance rules, albeit their rules in this instance seem over the top.

I wonder what kind of acronym would fit this description. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.

Heh, I got a good chuckle at that comment removal. So glad I moved from there to db0.

Sorry for the double reply. I'll create a list of alternatives to .world communities here; I'll also add the ones you guys suggest, as long as not from .ml (as .ml and .world are apparently peas from the same pod.)

technology: !technology@lemmy.zip

politics: !uk_politics@feddit.uk (UK), !pleasantpolitics@slrpnk.net (USA), !canadapolitics@lemmy.ca (Canada), !australianpolitics@aussie.zone (Oz), !politics@beehaw.org (allegedly world, in practice USA)

movies and animattion: !movies@lemm.ee , !showsandmovies@lemm.ee , !animation@lemm.ee . Specifically for Japanese anime there's ani.social (the whole instance).

EDIT: apparently the moderators apologised, including in this thread. So what I said that both are peas from the same pod might be inaccurate - it's a matter of scale.

I'm torn between 🐰 and 🐇, but that's clearly a case of PTB.

All those comments boil down to "yay, he died!". This is not a call for violence dammit - the violence already happened, and it was done by an unrelated party. It is not a threat either, unless you expect the person to be resurrected and killed again.

If you don't want to see people to cheer for the death of shitty people, then create a rule for that dammit. Be transparent. LW is following the steps of .ml and Reddit to enforce rules in an obnoxiously opaque way, and calling its users a bunch of gullible trash - "I'm going to ban you and claim that it was for something you didn't, and the other morons/users/trash won't even notice it! lol lmao".

Whats the paradox of tolerance? // .world mods have never heard of it I guess.

It's worse than that. Someone who's too gullible to follow the conclusion Popper reached there would simply watch it and do nothing. They [likely the admins; I'm not sure on who, let us not witch hunt] are actually defending the intolerant.

meanwhile on bluesky, there seems to be a celebration

Good Lord most of those don't even come close to being against the rules of that community.

Yeah, .world is full of slightly right of center normies and pussies.

The bans seem to be lifted.

Can't comment on bans/deservedness. Lemmy is infested with mods/agents/bots that are pro empire/CIA/military paid protectors of disinformation and said empire.

TOS you say?
