Slate: Reddit Is Restricting Luigi Mangione Discourse—but It’s Even Weirder Than That

The website is attacking the users that made it the front page of the internet

"...Last week, Reddit administrator Worstnerd shared a significant update to the social network’s content-moderation standards. As of March 5, “users who … upvote several pieces of content banned for violating our policies will begin to receive a warning.” They added that the company will “consider adding additional actions down the road.”...

Apparently saying ‘luigi’ is now against the rules too even though they never told us. All comments with the word ‘luigi’ get flagged as possible inciting violence,”

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

I thought you'd previously posted an issue you created about this, and they (after some discussion) agreed with you. But I can't find it now.

I seem to recall it using Frogger for an analogy rather than Snake. Am I hallucinating?

Trump is exploiting rifts in the Jewish community in order to target Jews and Palestinians—and ultimately to build power to crush any speech he dislikes and to deport anyone he dislikes.


Ford is back. His threat to rip the heart out of Toronto's safe cycling network could be enacted as soon as this month. Tomorrow morning, March 18th at 7:30am we're mobilizing at Queen's Park to remind our representatives that we won't lie down while they tear up the safe streets Toronto is trying to build.

What venture capitalists celebrate as "disruption" is, with damning frequency, nothing more than a moderately sophisticated way to extract rent from existing systems that functioned perfectly well before tech entrepreneurs arrived to "save" them.

Sunny March mornings are great for #bird photos, especially when it comes to Grackles. I love studying all the different hues on them. There are subtypes with blue-green, purple and bronze tones in the feathers. The Blue Jays also love the sun, it makes all the intricate patterns their feathers have more visible, especially cool around the face.

I need a new job like last month. We are basically bankrupt now, I don’t know how I’m going to feed my family and we can’t make April rent.

I’m physically located in the metro Detroit area, Michigan, USA. I’m looking for anything either local to me or remote, and I have been working remotely for most of the last 10+ years.

I can do whatever work needs done, I have had a long career in web hosting, doing everything from DevOps to Technical Support to IT to Security. Any leads would be great right now, but also here’s my kofi:

Making progress on the shuttle tatted choker/necklace/whatchamacallit. I've always been fascinated by lace making, but the bobbin and pin method is a) impossible to do on the go and b) a sensory nightmare with the clacking of bobbins against each other 😵‍💫 i was so happy when i discovered shuttle tatting, which eliminates both issues and is actually not that hard to learn. The stitches are structured pretty much like macrame knots and the patterns/diagrams are easy to follow. Even for me, and i can't stand reading patterns 🫣 this is a free pattern i found online, originally meant to be attached as edging on a handkerchief.

Yes! Tatting is so much more portable. But I do like the sound of my bobbins.

Ironically, my favorite shuttle is one that doesn't make the clicky noise with the thread unwinding though.
