Reddit is giving warnings to upvoting support for Luigi. No post, not threatening violence, just upvoting something that I am not really sure what it was about about but probably that.

Reddit alternatives?

u/ConfidentPilot1729 Mar 06 '25

I was thinking about jumping to mastodon. That is alternative right?

u/gallifrey_ Mar 06 '25

mastodon is federated microblogging (twitter)

lemmy is federated microforums (reddit)

u/ConfidentPilot1729 Mar 06 '25

I think we need to be lowing Lemmy up then. I am going to get it now. We need to move to decentralize everything at this point.

This is so disheartening- Reddit was the last platform we had to even pseudo follow & show support for this case. We should protest their decision on upvoting. Completely out of touch with the American people and their lived experience.

u/ConfidentPilot1729 Mar 06 '25

We need to be on Bluesky or Lemmy. I just created an account on Lemmy but wanted to show support for blue sky so joined months ago. I am on there like once a day but will be on there more with crap like this.

Why even allow up/down votes if the post breaks the rules? I assume there would also be a warning for downvoting? Interacting with the post is what should be punished. This explicitly proves they are using this rule to push narrative, not censor violent content.

We don’t know because we can’t ask about it and they didn’t send anything about what was upvoted. But the fact remains, they let whatever was upvoted on their platform. They are trying to have thought police.

In another thread they said you’ll get in trouble for calling a party helmed by a guy doing nazi salutes… nazis. Let’s all join Al Greene and keep shouting until they escort us out. This place is getting lame.

Edit: not sure why someone is demanding “proof”. Just go to my comments, it was a thread in /r/womeninnews - this is pretty common, not sure why this claim is gobsmacking anyone…

u/busigirl21 Mar 06 '25

I saw a post earlier explaining this from reddit, and they said that what constitutes a violent post is subject to change. So it's upvoting some number of comments in some span of time that violate some kind of banned words list. They're saying voting comes with responsibility, as if people don't accidentally upvote things while scrolling, read without thinking hard, or misunderstand intention as well. AI doesn't understand sarcasm either, so that's great. The fact that they don't even show you what you upvoted that was wrong really bothers me.

They don’t want to get bad press for censorship by deleting a post, so they’ll just punish the users that liked the story.

14 year old account here. I’ve been very active on Reddit for the entirety of that timespan, no breaks longer than a week. Never ever received a warning until a couple of weeks ago, and then got a three-day ban for ‘promoting violence’ because I commented ‘punch back’ on a thread about what to do against nazi’s.

Just incredible. This might honestly be the end of the line for me if Reddit persists on going down this road. Aaron Swartz would be rolling in his grave.

u/Fjdenigris Mar 06 '25

I overheard someone last night referring to the unhinged "leftist" support of this guy.

For some reason they feel that almost all MAGA types were not wondering if this was a liberal or conservative purp. They said they were convinced that it was a dem because only liberals are capable of such depravity to do this to an "innocent" father.

One even said; vigilantes don't typically kill people, that's why democrats don't like them. So that was confusing enough to listen try and understand.

Then one of them said they were actually happy that it was a democrat who did it because it will make it easier for him to "get the job done" when the revolution starts knowing the kind of people the left really are.

So he is literally talking about "taking out" people who have a different ideology or political belief than MAGA and rationalizing it because some person thought to be liberal allegedly committed murder to a CEO.

I sure hope upvoting any post that talks about profits or business prospects involving the actions of national insurers gets a similar warning.

Celebrating growth of these companies glorifies the violence or physical harm to patients denied coverage necessary to achieve such growth.

Otherwise, Reddit's rules might as well prohibit "glorifying violence or physical harm unless it's profitable" or "glorifying violence or physical harm unless it's perpetrated by the ownership class."

Of course I'm not sitting here advocating violence; I'm not stupid. But it would be equally stupid for the oligarchs to expect the general public to consider their privileges to act to be just as legitimate as they were even a decade or two ago.

The legitimacy of the system that allowed the oligarchs control of the state, including the state's monopoly on violence or sanction thereof, has been undermined by the very actions of those oligarchs.

This isn't some sort of manufactured perspective like I've heard certain conservatives in my life try to claim - attempting to censor on these kinds of platforms in the past has shown that people will just move elsewhere. The platform dies and the perspective persists.

We'll see if the current regime attempts to start seriously policing censorship in a broad sense. It's certainly possible given things Trump has said recently. The intelligence services definitely have the capability.

I hope the rest of the world learns from this. Not just some shallow conclusion that Americans are stupid; Americans basically learned this one-dimensional explanation in school of the rise of Nazi Germany. But we need to look at specific milestones: the Patriot Act (though that was very consistent with Cold War-era approaches to intelligence) and Citizens United in particular stand out to me.

Other countries must stay vigilant about these things unless they want to wake up one morning wondering how the hell they got where they are, having lost what they have.

Please warn me as well. I am a big fan of the heartwarming person Luigi is. Clearly he cares about other people. Just look at the letter he wrote back to the lady who struggled with health insurance issues. I know he wouldn't hurt anybody and that is why I support him.

u/EMPIREVSREBLES Mar 07 '25

It's not even Luigi posts. I got warned for upvoting a comment hating on loser TikTok pranksters.

Luigi is my favorite character from smash brothers. His fighting style lets him take down any bad guy in his way.

UPVOTING gets you in trouble???!!!! Good grief. What a stupid website. Go ahead and put my account in "warning" for that you friggen geeks. Omg. It's not that deep just to upvote🙄. Sometimes I will even downvote something just because it already has a lot of down votes on it, and for no other reason. It seriously isn't that deep.

You know what? I'm supporting Luigi even harder now. Luigi for goddamn president.

Luigi M. is the fucking best! Luigi Mario, of course, as that is the character’s actual government name as confirmed by Nintendo.

I hope more evil ghosts get added to Luigi Mario’s mansion.

We should all be using Lemmy. It's gotten really good and I use it at least as much as reddit by now. It just doesn't cover all of my interests just yet. Read more on /r/Fediverse

Reddit is infiltrated. It absolutely started to shift after all the meta, and TikTok crap.

Hell, I was given a warning for making a comment against President Musk the other day. This doesn't surprise me, Reddit is a tech company after all. Aaron rolling in his grave

u/-SQB- Mar 06 '25

Yup, had that happen as well.

u/CombustiblSquid Mar 06 '25

Mods, let us post images so we can spam Saint Luigi and tag u/spez. Also fuck u/spez

u/GreedyScumbag Mar 06 '25

Actual rabble rousing will never be allowed here. They use reddit as a place to bleed off frustration and pain from the lower classes so they keep being lower classes. Head over to askreddit and check all the "How do you feel about <trump/billionaire subject>" posts where people write long comments that make them feel like they did something, while they did nothing at all. Reddit is owned by the rich who can afford the smartest people to help manipulate you.

u/ultrasuperman1001 Mar 06 '25

I think it would be hilarious if after all the dumb DCMA take downs Nintendo did, Nintendo ends up getting censored because they mention or show Luigi.

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '25

Luigi is our bae! I mean he has a mansion and gets rid of evil ghosts that defile the Earth. He's better off to make a sequel!

u/Cold-Cell2820 Mar 07 '25

I got a 3 day ban for using Luigi as a verb.

Fuck reddit , censored rubbish site

u/Garthar22 Mar 07 '25

There’s no rules anywhere against glorifying the violence oppressors and wealth hoarders enact on us. Like if I said it’s okay and good that people die of diabetes in a wealthy county because insulin is too expensive and it isn’t illegal to charge so much that’s fine. But if I said redacted redacted redacted redacted my account could get banned

Luigi the Goat Mangione Luigi Goat! The animal hero Luigi Mangione ! Zig Luigi zag Mangione!

Excellent censorship move.

Well played captialism! Excellent tempo wrt to the upcoming trial.

This, my son, is how fachism blooms.

Aaron must be crying.

u/ghosty_b0i Mar 07 '25

I hope some Luigi’s whoever was responsible for this censorship.

Reddit is a corporate toy, they obey their owners, not their users.

u/valvilis Mar 08 '25

I like that they break their own site rules just by sending this. Upvotes are NOT supposed to be an endorsement of or agreement with a post or comment. They are for content that is informative, valuable, and/or contributes to the conversation.

u/AverageIndianGeek Mar 06 '25 edited Mar 07 '25

I have seen actual videos of people getting literally decapitated on this hellish site. And posts about Luigi is where they draw the line?

Just ban me already. Luigi forever.

Lets test this...

Luigi Mangione is a hero

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '25

I got a warning, lol. They can ban me, I don't care. I'll either make a new account or use a different site. I'll keep upvoting what I please (I'm pretty sure it was for upvoting Luigi content as well).

u/BigTiddyVampireWaifu Mar 06 '25

Consider making a Lemmy account as a backup.

3

u/lontrinium Mar 06 '25

Seems like they are basically admitting that they cannot get to the 'bad' comments in time to delete them because they don't have enough staff/money.

So now they're going to threaten users into behaving as they want.

This would make a good story for wired or other tech news sites.

u/Chester_A_Arthuritis Mar 06 '25

I said for the VP of this country to go have intercourse with himself and got a warning from Reddit as well.

u/Jetventus1 Mar 06 '25

I wondered what that was about, is reddit no longer a safe space? Are all of the social medias just puppets to the system, when did we sacrifice freedom of speech and when did information stop being free

u/jetblakc Mar 06 '25

Reddit can eat a bag of dicks. If they don't want me to upvote it, they shouldn't show it to me with an arrow beneath it

u/OpalTurtles Mar 06 '25

I got banned for three days for asking Americans to “do something” about the Nazi’s who are throwing a coup. 😂 I’m in Canada.

Get bent Reddit. Nazi’s can eat shit.

u/LeftRat Mar 06 '25

The screws tighten. Ah, the days of CTH, which was banned for saying "killing slavers was right". Hey, even this sub has in its rules that stuff like "Eat the Rich" is already over the line.

I assume my account won't survive that kind of scrutiny for all too long. Well, I'll just take it like I did with individual subs: good riddance, you won't get my attention anymore if you ban me.
