I’m typing this next to a shower. We need a symbol to represent everyone who is not a billionaire. Does anyone have any ideas? My last post was removed as I suggested a guillotine. So uh, don’t suggest guillotines guys. We don’t want to offend anyone now.

    Removed here, on Lemmy? I’d expect it from Reddit… but here on Lemmy!?! Hey mod that did that, go get a job at Meta or something, since you can’t shake their social-engineered domestication and brainwashing.

      I don’t understand. The top answer is guillotine and it’s also still mentioned in the original post, but now it’s not being removed?

      Instances are governed by the law of the country the server is based in. If what is written goes against a law there then it is in everybody’s interest to correct that.

      I’m not saying that’s what happened here but it is possible.

      Go have a look at the mod log.

        The law is not always correct. Alan Turing was coerced into suicide because he was prosecuted for homosexuality, forcing him to choose between jailtime or chemical castration.

          Yes, the law is often very wrong, but, unfortunately, that does not stop it from being the law… nor does it shield you from punishment from the state.

          Break the law = no instance Obey the law = have instance

          Check out .world and where they stand under German law, for example. It is illegal to say some things under German law. Don’t like it? Run for election and try and initiate change or move country.
