I said something along the lines of:
“Wow, I haven’t had a reason to smile ear to ear in a while.”
Along with
“Nah, the more dead corpos dragons, the better.”
In response to some liberal going off about how violence is never the solution, not mentioning how this murdered dipshit has personally overseen a system that perpetuates harm, suffering and death (violence) in the name of profit.
…
Good ole’ civility clause.
Whats the paradox of tolerance?
.world mods have never heard of it I guess.
So much for “freedom of speech”, unless you’re rich or a CEO i guess…
The First Amendment right to freedom of speech in the USA applies to the relationship between citizens and the government’s authority. Lemmy servers are not the US government, and Lemmy users must abide by the Terms of Service on the Lemmy servers they use.
It’s that simple.
You still have the freedom to create your own server and host whatever content you want on there. Lemmy is open source I believe so you can go right ahead and federate your own free speech.
Side note, I’m not saying this to defend health insurance crooks. I’m currently dealing with several insurance problems with denied coverage myself. We can all see the motive of that hooded man clearly.
And the problem currently under discussion is that OP did not break any of the ToS, but was banned anyway for saying something the admins disagreed with.
Everyone gets that part. The relation to “freedom of speech” is what, then?
That’s not what the top comment in this thread was discussing at all. There’s no rights to freedom of speech on lemmy.
I dont think you wouldnt be banned if you celebrated anyone elses murder
The problem with the bans is that most users think the murder of someone who caused people so much pain is justified, while the mod believed that celebrating murder is wrong. It wasnt about the money
I wasn’t aware lemmy was the government.
