Reddit Is Restricting Luigi Mangione Discourse—but It’s Even Weirder Than That
The website is attacking the users that made it the front page of the internet.
You're viewing a single thread.
a website that ostensibly prides itself on giving its users and communities a platform for free speech
lol come on now
What even is "free speech"?
Does that mean I can post a magnet link to a Pirates of The Carribean movie?
I personally don't consider any platform "free speech" unless I can roleplay Captain Jack Sparrow. 🏴☠️
Good a metric as any
Free speech in the US covers literally anything besides direct threats.
Cool, lemmy test it:
Link to Pirates of the Caribbean (the 3rd movie): magnet:?xt=urn:btih:976CE4DA9AC1CDC032B854449541D3EA367C076D&dn=Pirates%20of%20the%20Caribbean%3A%20At%20World's%20End%20(2007)%201080p%20BrRip%20x264&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.stealth.si%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.torrent.eu.org%3A451%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.bittor.pw%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fpublic.popcorn-tracker.org%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.dler.org%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexodus.desync.com%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337%2Fannounce

That is not true. Some examples are listed here:

MAGA style 'free speech' where we're all free to have the opinions of right wing christian bigots forced onto us but speaking out against right wing christian bigots is 'hate speech' or 'wishing harm' or whatever other fucking excuse they can come up with.
Speaking out against right wing Christian bigots is literal persecution. Who would've thought that one of the greatest majorities living in the Freest Country on Earth would be so ever oppressed. uwu
Well said
And permabanning them for making anti-Nazi statements. Soon it will just be bots upvoting content created by other bots. Waste of electricity.
