The word "Luigi" is now flagged by automod for violence on Reddit
The word "Luigi" is now flagged by automod for violence on Reddit
Just woke up to my account being suspended for suspicious activity after getting a warning.
Reddit really hates Mario's brother. What did Luigi do to your wife, spez? Mammamia that's an abomination
This is the final straw for me. Today, after years of accelerating decline, I deleted my Reddit account and made my Lemmee lurking official. My only regret is abandoning the the good people at Narwhal who always made Reddit better, but never had a chance to save it from its corporate-aspiring overlords. Good-bye!
I just got a 3 day ban. Here I am allowed to say that CEO assassination is basically self defense, right?
Most of the time, if I say “Luigi” I’m actually talking about the character. Mario’s brother. The lil green plumber. Not the real life guy.
I’m not sure what’s gonna happen to discussion about Nintendo games but if first names themselves can be banned from being said (even if they take on a new meaning due to slang) there’s something seriously wrong with the platform.
Free Luigi. Free Palestine.
I got banned for talking about Luigi too much.
What about Luigi, the 1959 Fiat 500 from the movie Cars? Reddit is fucked up.
Doesn’t matter the mod nazis band me for ever and ever. Fuck that place.
I literally just deleted my reddit account. I will still go to reddit, but I will do so without logging in. Fuck them.
Quite literally signed up for lemmy just now cause of this. So many of the sites that helped make the internet boring are committing self harm, twitter, fb, and now reddit - the old "decentralization" arguments were kind of boring to me but now I ache for the old internet and gosh darn it if the billionaires are making the best case against themselves.
Yep this is why I'm here 🤭
Cowardssss
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.
I went straight to a perma commenting on what was going to happen with those inmates being moved despite the judge blocking it. It's not a huge loss since that is the second account perma'd in the last 30 days. And I've been using revanced Reddit so no ads. But they've become pretty insane about what is "hate, or violence"
I still use Reddit probably too much, but I still plan on upvoting anything Luigi related lol. If that gets my account banned then official goodbyes to reddit.
The fact that "luigi'd" as a verb has become pretty common slang very quickly, it's not crazy to associate it with violence.
Now we get to the actual matter. Several years ago saying "Someone should shoot that CEO" (which would be the same statement as something like "Hoping that CEO gets luigi'd") would not have gotten you banned. Wishing death upon someone is not the same as actual threats of violence.
This is what brought me here. Reddit is out, Luigi is IN
I knew Reddit was dying after they went public and immediately purged all the mods who didn't fall in line. It was disheartening to see so many users continue to shill for such decisions. Maybe it was a lot of bots, who knows. But watching this site explode in popularity after these new changes is encouraging. Everyone here should do their part to inform people of this place and continue to stay connected. Good luck everyone!
Luigi's Mansion 1 is one of my all time favourite games on Gamecube. Probably a controversial opinion but I feel like the sequels don't come anywhere near as close as the original.
Back on topic, what if someone in an Italian subreddit mentions another person named Luigi? There are many famous and infamous people with the first name.
I'm proud of the active community we've built at https://lemmy.world/c/luigimangione It's a great space to post any Luigi content, that may or may not have a proper place in the larger communities on Lemmy. It's great that former Redditors can come to Lemmy and see a niche community like they are accustomed to having, without fearing censorship like they did on Reddit.
Fuck Reddit. Long live Luigi!
It's better to use old reddit in references.

Copped a permaban on reddit when I started taking about the Luigivolution, lamenting the current nightmare because some numpty couldn't properly set his windage, insisting that Nazi lives don't matter, and finally changing my nym to DutifullyPunchingNazis. I guess somewhere in there was the final straw.
Oh no! Look at all the unique unfiltered user content I'm missing out on by leaving reddit for Lemmy!
What a sad sick joke Reddit has become.
Green Mario Mangione is a pillar of our society.
mario enjoyers in shambles
And with that- I have deleted my Reddit account that I have had for 13 years lol. Fuuuuck that. I don't even care if that gets reversed after Nintendo gets involved. This is ridiculous behavior.
Mmmm, making some experiences...
Honestly think this is newsworthy and worth talking about here as well, if not moreso...
Just the fact that someone gets noticed and potentially talked to if they just upvote, and not say anything, seems like something that's never been done before, and is a bit shocking to see.
I got banned for posting the name Luigi and an animated gif.
The powers that be at Reddit are snowflaking HARD.
This is why alternatives are important.
And I'm over wondering why none of these links are in the archive.
The nintendo sub must have a hard time right now
To the surprise of absolutely noone
, I’m expecting automod evasion.
