News are saying the new UnitedHealth CEO will continue to deny "unnecessary" claims, effectively killing people, I respond with "we will continue to 'depose' unnecessary CEOs"; Banned for a day. 🤣

Honestly, I'm not mad, its just funny how state/corporate sponsored violence is all okay but a pleb making a joke (its not even a real threat c'mon) is not okay.
🤭
Delay, Deny, Depose. Remember, Remember the 4th of December.
Wasn't the entire point of moving to the Fediverse that we can easily switch instances if one goes bad?
Why are people still on .world lmao
Because it's no big loss if we end up getting banned, so as another commenter said. Laziness
And unless mods are being massive weirdos by checking how we're behaving in the comment sections of other instance's communities, then it's even less likely we'll be banned anyway.
So for now, I do nothing.
And express my total non-sadness at this CEO's, and probably many other CEO's deaths.
I'm not for the death penalty, but they sure as hell deserve it.
Why are people still on .world lmao
Few reasons:
-
I joined when it was one of the smaller instances
-
Laziness
-
Currently looking to move
-
The fediverse will be at its greatest when communities can seamlessly switch instances. As seen from the minimal Reddit user migration, users won't switch as much as necessary to affect real change.
The large user base, and a couple of communities who don't care about current events. But it's not an admin thing anyway so - ? Does it really matter what instance it's on?
I dont' know what community that was in, but if it was one of the usual suspects, I'd say move to a different community. Not sure what .world has to do with it since it wasn't an admin thing, just some mod being mod. !Politics, I assume?
mods on politcs and news are neo lib acolytes, they mode for the ruling class while pretending to be one of us lol
Inertia
It's a dumb argument because unless you're willing to lie to moderators with different usernames to trick them into not knowing who you are (ban evasion) being banned on one shitty instance locks you out of it and any communities it has. Lemmy.world has many of the bigger ones, lemmy.ml too.
Moving on isn't as easy as people make it seem. This is one of those Fediverse lies that people regurgitate ad-nauseam.The truth is that bigger instances, or instances holding bigger communities hold a larger slice of the pie, and unless you forcefully remove people from the instances, or remove the instances from the people, they cannot be replaced. You can't start your own instance and communities to replace the big ones at the top. Your new one will occupy less of the pie.
Looking at the communities tab can give you an idea of which ones they are
Community Tab screenshot
The instances which hold these positions hold control, and they can't be as easily replaced or bypassed. So "Just move to another server" doesn't work unless you're encouraging ban evasion, which most people are not. They can make a real impact on your experience in the Fediverse, and trying to deny that fact is disingenuous and misinformation, because they absolutely do hold control here. They are the ones who's actions make a difference, especially because they cannot be replaced easily.
The problem is communities congregate where they are the largest. You can move yourself off of lemmy.world, but you can't move your community off of lemmy.world. You could make communities less dependent on the host they are on or any given moderator group, but Lemmy's design is not that. So you can sever yourself off of it, and now you are left the option of joining far smaller and less active alternative communities.
I don't believe it would be that hard to make a lemmy style federation where if your host or their moderator groups ban you, other hosts could still see you. That used to be the case with kbin, people could comment in communities based on instances that had banned them, even if those comments would only be seen in kbin. It was easily exploitable, because it bypassed moderation controls for the home instance and would really have required moderation group for that instance, but it could be done.
Imagine having links to communities like, https://lemm.ee/c/yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com ,but being capable of specifying a different moderator group / messaging handler dispatcher (or whatever the component in charge within an instance of determining which comments to inform users of is called) from another instance like, https://lemm.ee/c/yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com:lemm.ee , that would just default to the official if there wasn't any instance local group in charge. But that would cause so much drama because these positions attract control freaks.
you can’t move your community off of lemmy.world.
You can
If one protects CEOs aren't they the one advocating violence against the common people?
Yes, advocating for the killing of children in the most literal sense
Fuck lemmy.world
We need to move communities off LW.
Lemmy is way too dominated by those bootlickers

Specifically for Japanese anime there's ani.social (the whole instance).
I wouldn't recommend Beehaw for people since they may not be accessible on the instances people might choose and they tend to be a bit more heavy handed with their approach.
They've also stated they don't have much long term commitment to being part of the Fediverse or being on Lemmy so I wouldn't put much faith in them as a good replacement to lemmy.world.
I think World just need to accept that they're pissing into the wind at this point, I've never seen a platform so united on something.
Try to praise Spez anywhere on Lemmy
That would be viewed as obvious rage bait on most of the platform.
we can't HAIL SPEZ?
Look how long it took .world to remove the bot.
They’re glacial paced at listening to users.
You literally did what you were banned for and then pulled a "in Minecraft" with this post.
It will happen to anyone who uses .world sooner or later.
People who complain about moderation on this platform tend to be really obnoxious.
Case in point OP screenshotting a Royal ‘we’ advocating murdering people in a job description with no other criteria and a couple generic emojis to boot.
Relative to the volume of content and platform tools available please just communicate responsibly. There is an objective standard for advocating for future violence and OPs comment clearly meets that.
To be fair, the post is a news report covering the CEO's public mass death threat, not an endorsement of it.
You're a dumb ass who needs to learn plausible deniability.
Maybe they misread depose as 'dispose' idk .
Bunch of sensitive cucks.
Well the single minded American people are attacking random McDonald's workers, they're in the clear.
OP, why are you shocked you got in trouble for saying that? "We're gonna keep killing CEOs" Banned "Stop oppressing me!"
I got banned from world for similar. Also got banned for stating a fact: democrat joe Lieberman single-handedly killed the single payer option during the passage of obamacare/aca.
The libs can’t cope.
Edit for the libs:
A senator from Connecticut, the insurance capital of the world, became the industry’s go-to guy. Insurers had spent years investing in Sen. Joe Lieberman, a former Democrat-turned-Independent. During the reform debate, the watchdog group Public Campaign Action Fund, (now called EveryVoice), called Lieberman an “insurance puppet,”noting that insurers had contributed nearly half a million dollars to his campaigns over the years.
The Democrats needed Lieberman’s vote to get reform passed, and insurers knew it. Shortly before the Senate was set to vote on the bill, Lieberman said he would vote for the bill only if the public option was stripped out.
Cope and seethe libs. Your electoralism and ability to be easily fooled by the DNC’s lies but but republicans! have led us to this mess. And yes, it goes without saying the republicans are no better. But who needs enemies when one has backstabbing democrats for friends? But if we vote harder we’ll have the votes! no, you fucking won’t. Another fucking patsy will make sure to torpedo any kind of progressive legislation, anything to the left of neoliberalism. See Manchin, Sinema, and the fucking senate parliamentarian for examples.
democrat joe Lieberman single-handedly killed the single payer option during the passage of obamacare/aca.
Neo lib acolytes hate this fact lol
ACA is how we ended up here... private health insurance it not the solution. Full stop.
I see the right is trying to blame doctors and left wants to water down call for single payer/medicare for all.
Socials are starting to get suppressed too. Go to press on.
.world news modding is fucking pathetic... imagine fucking the working class this hard. disgusting.
They really do. Dude was senator of CT and bought and paid for by the insurance companies, many of whom have headquarters there (at least at the time).
Lemmy.world mods are a bunch of fucking libs. Say anything truly leftist and you’ll get a ban.
Wow, you were banned for stating a known and proven fact about Lieberman? That's actually insane
Completely fucking insane. They wanna live in their little liberal bubble where they can just vote their way to the most moderate inconsequential reforms.
Meh, if you're still on that comm at this point you deserve it
It’s sorta default to start there since it’s the biggest instance. Obviously you can start anywhere but someone new to the fediverse is still learning how it all works.
No, I'm referring to the community, not the instance
Is there an alternative community for US News? There is !AskUSA@discuss.online for USA discussion, !world@quokk.au for world news, but not sure about US news
Maybe !usa@midwest.social ? Although that admin is known to be power tripping: https://feddit.org/post/5508290
neglected assistance is slightly different from violence though.
But insurance is supposed to payout when an insured person needs it. The only claims they should deny are fraudulent claims. There is an agreement, so neglecting the agreement is still liability.
Like a home care worker being employed and assigned to an elderly person, then decide to go on an hour phone call and not making sure the elderly person doesn't like fall down or anything, then they finish their hour-long phone call and find that the person they were supposed to be taking care of have fallen down the stairs. Like the home care worker didn't cause them to die, but its practically the same. There's probably lawsuits and probably also criminal charges.
But in the CEO situation, the ananlogy would be more like the elderly person ask you to help them walk, and you just refuse to do your job, then they fall down the stairs and you don't even call an ambulance while watching them die. That's essentially what the healthcare executives are doing. They are neglecing to provide the service they agreed to while taking premiums. That should be criminal.
