      It’s treading new ground, assassinations of non-politician US citizens usually aren’t this popular so it contradicts many assumptions made when deciding rules. A site like reddit has to please its advertisers and investors, so they will ultimately side with the rich owning class, but may not want to risk banning huge parts of their userbase.

      Not true. lemmy.ml only has dumbass word filter so you can’t say “b!tch” or “r3tard.” but there isn’t any content filter about Luigi’s manifesto, or deny, defend, depose. Or declaring that you are happy Brian Thompson was killed, or that Trump was almost assassinated. Additionally CEOs addresses, wishes and suggestions that healthcare companies should have their entire corporate structure culled, won’t be removed.

      You can also discuss Tienanmen Square, or all of the weird key CIA internet keywords that emerged int he 90’s.
