    Lemmy was so much cooler before it was a cult. All this murder worship is the lamest shit ever.

      Didn’t you make your account 4 months ago. How do you know that the average Lemmy user either does or doesn’t believe that political violence is acceptable?

      I mean this genuinely, why not just filter the words: Luigi [depending on how much you want to talk about Mario], Mangione, UHC, and depose?

      I filtered “game day,” Linux, and all of the moe communities, because I don’t care about it and it will eventually wear on me to see a bunch of stuff related to those topics.

        Don’t bother with them. It’s not worth your time. They either won’t be convinced or they’re looking to upset you.

        The latter has been happening more frequently. Probably because reddit banned any talk about luigi and now all the high horse trolls migrated to lemmy to get their fix. Not saying that person is one(dont know, dont care), but I find being aware of that sort of activity is helpful.

          If peaceful means of bringing about change have fallen on deaf ears, then violence is inevitable and arguably justifiable.

          Like if this act brings about positive change in the industry when nothing else did, is Luigi really the bad guy?
