Reddit has temporarily banned the subreddit r/WhitePeopleTwitter citing a "prevalence of violent content."

Musk has repeatedly accused people who post the names of his DOGE associates on X of breaking the law (to be clear: doing so absolutely is not a crime). He made a similar claim in response to the screenshots from r/WhitePeopleTwitter posted by Reddit Lies, saying “they have broken the law.” Engadget was unable to verify the Reddit comments posted by the account, but it included statements like “time to hunt” and “this nazi stooge needs to be shot.”

    1. If someone’s posting things that are going to get me in legal hot water because they show up on my instance, they will be banned from my instance. As an example, I don’t platform people who incite violence or are here for bloodlust (see all the Luigi-based bans I had to issue).
    2. If someone is posting things that are against TOS of other Lemmy servers, they will likely be banned from those
    3. If the behavior is persistent and problematic for enough instances, the instance will likely be defederated.

    In all of those cases, you’re still free to say whatever you want on your own instance, but that doesn’t guarantee anyone else will want to platform it on theirs. Owning your own home doesn’t mean you can just waltz into other peoples’ and say whatever you want.

    Edited to fix a typo and change the tone so it didn’t sound accusational (which wasn’t my intent).

      Neither of those 3 points have anything to do with what I said. This isn’t a conversation about you having to tolerate me, it’s a conversation about what state actors can do to censor Lemmy. Which is very little, because I can host an instance out of my bedroom and do basically whatever I want.
