I've seen a few posts advocating various ill fortune for billionaires get removed. As I said somewhere else, I can kind of understand it from a CYA perspective. The staff don't want to turn into a violent conspiracy hub. On the other, billionaires are ruining the world for everyone else and defending them is fucked up when viewed like that.
I wasn't even advocating for anything or celebrating a death, just making a dark joke about not caring because it was a billionaire. I mean, I definitely DO consider billionaires and hectomillionaires inherently harmful, but unless they're KNOWN to be truly heinous like Trump, Kissinger, or Limbaugh, I don't go anywhere near as far as to actually celebrate their death, which is what the rule specifically forbids.
I get how there has to be a limit, but joking about not caring about some billionaire who wasn't even a public figure? That's not harming anyone unless you're saying it at the family or sadistic shit like that ๐คท
Lemme guess... Tesla drowning incident?
Yup, that's the one. My joke was basically complaining that it was cruel to connect her to Mitch Mcconnell just because her sister married him and then saying "nevermind, she was a billionaire ๐คท"
Anyone got a link?

Checking back, it's a veritable massacre of deleted comments on that post, probably a dozen or two other people banned as well. Looks like the mods panicked lol
Huh, post not visible on my instance!
That's weird.. I'm pretty sure it can't be a defederation issue since you're on sh.itjust.works and it can't be because it hasn't federated YET either since it's a post from yesterday ๐ค
Well, I feel better โ I was able to open their profile after all, where it shows me their last post was from 29 days ago. Scrolling down, all their comments have a million down votes.
They get accused of supporting naughty regimes so Iโll assume they read the post of mine and could tell Iโm such a great ally for justice that it was best for me to be kept out of their hair.
What in the world, the person blocked me!
Outrageous! :) (Iโm nice & chill)
That person is probably a total douchenozzle anyway and it wasn't a very good post ๐คท๐
