I wonder how Nintendo is feeling about their IP being moderated like that.
MAMMA MIA!!
Chuck Mangione’s brother Luigi?
I just got a 3 day ban. Here I am allowed to say that CEO assassination is basically self defense, right?
I’ve had several bans for saying things like “where’s Luigi?”
LUIGI LUIGI LUIGI
So I had an account under a similar name to this one, but it got perma-banned a few months back. Not even Luigi related. Remember when that Nazi incel Nick Fuentes got doxxed? I made a comment that basically said “he should be happy now that women know where he lives so they can come share a cocktail with him”, with a gif of a Molotov cocktail. I thought it was pretty funny. Banned for glorifying/promoting violence. Against a Nazi.
More recently, my other account got perma-banned from r/insanepeoplefacebook for “hate speech” because of this comment:
So yeah. Fuck Reddit. Fuck Spez. Free Luigi.
It’s a funny meme, rooted in reality for some communities, due to their conservatism or beliefs.
You can’t even be a centrist on Reddit anymore and point stuff out about left and right policies and attitudes. You can be a full on Nazi or full on Communist, though. It’s quite tragic.

Yoooo Nintendo should sue. Reddit is publicly traded.
That’s a great point. Even if it’s used as a verb, it could mean throwing a banana peel behind you while driving.
Everyone named Luigi should sue for discrimination
Italians are always getting shafted in the US tbh…
It’s anti-Italian discrimination
Nintendo doesn’t want to raise the specter of association with Luigi Mangione. Heck, I bet they’d advocate for this, and would rename Mario’s brother if they could.
Bring back Green Mario
This is Winnie the Pooh-level censorship, Jesus…
Mamma mia!
Reddit is a group of internet users with the vision of free speech, but directed by shareholder and policy makers.
So glad I ditched Reddit.
The facade of societal benefit with the hidden and actual motivation of profit, such is the whole world.
Time to welcome another wave of Redditors to Lemmy :)
That’s why I’m here at least.
Meh, I’m not so sure. We need to get used to the fact that reddit’s fuckery is unlikely to ever re-produce the massive influx of new users that the API nonsense did in 2023. That was a one-off thing that drove out all the OG users. The people left on reddit are the types that refer to it as an “app” and probably don’t even know old.reddit exists. Those kinds of people will grumble but they aren’t going anywhere. And frankly, that’s fine by me.
Edit: lmao okay, okay, Lemmy got 6 new users today. I get it. My point that we’re never going to see another user influx on the scale of the summer 2023 API changes has been proven wrong. Congrats everyone. Let’s hope half of them actually stick around.
