    Oh, waiting for the punishment to start.

    Authoritarians love to quash protest, and when they can’t they start bringing out the riot gear and batons. CEOs and corporations are by default dictators and dictatorships.

    I wouldn’t be surprised at companies trolling social media and firing anyone that might suggest violence in association with their employer.

    (They absolutely check social media. My partner and I work for Fortune 500 companies and long ago scrubbed any association with our employers from our accounts. Nonetheless, my other half works for an employee group to help co-workers with job issues, and it never ceases to amaze me how many stories I hear secondhand about people posting stupid stuff online that gets them fired. The company actively looks for this stuff. Probably preaching to the choir here on lemmy, but just in case anyone needs a reminder.)

    Even Lemmy is bending over backwards about it, so nobody think that the Fediverse is non-compliant.

      Lemmy instances or run by individuals in a crap ton of different jurisdictions. None of these individuals want to go to court for our free speech. If an instance or an admin or running out of a location where they are reachable by legal measures, who are we to say they need to protect us?

      Been on Lemm.ee and have only seen posts in support of him and how fucked up healthcare is.

          I was just curious since the fediverse is a hell of a lot more than just LW. Didn’t even think about them since I only see posts that make it over and must have missed that announcement

          World moderation seemed too “all up in my business”, so I ditched it fairly quickly. I get that ML users have a reputation for being obnoxious about their politics, but the moderation has been very “hands off”…as far as I can tell.

            They just moderate in other ways to protect their own views. Mention anything counter to .ml and out you go, also you can’t swear which is an odd rule.

              My comment history and the fact that I have not been banned disagree with your assessment.

              We can all view your moderation history. (The 3 vertical dots next to the star)

              None of your comments and posts have been removed by a .ml moderator.

                I never said mine were. I’ve seen it happen to plenty of users and I’ve seen downvotes as well.

    It’s funny watching basically every news outlet scrambling to try to and explain why Luigi has so much approval online, when the answer’s rather simple:

    US Health Insurers go out of their way to fuck over people in their time of need (the old Delay, Deny, Defend), and the executives get rich off of doing this - so the people hate them, and are more than willing to spit on their grave.

    You know, they just make clear to us how effective it was. Had they handled it like any other murder, there wouldn’t be a support movement that practically calls for others to do the same.

    I want something tangible to do. I’m just angry. America is so shit. It overshadows all of its freedoms with greed.

        Honest answer is that I don’t.

        It could be a fraud perpetrated by somebody outside the reach of US laws and I have no idea what, if any, protections GiveSendGo has to protect donors from fraud.

      So last I heard the lawyer of Luigi said they are not taking outside money. That would make all fundraising a scam.

      Have you got any links to something that says otherwise?
