There’s just nothing to gain from intentional fuckery tho, and a very plausible reason.
Even if they “unfollowed” it might not have stuck and if they refreshed it still would have been there.
Things changing on the GUI but not where it actually matters is literally the issue here…
So I 100% believe a bunch of people experienced what you’re saying.
They’re just confusing client side GUI with server side database.
Obviously, fuck Meta, but…
“People were not made to automatically follow any of the official Facebook or Instagram accounts for the President, Vice President or First Lady,” he wrote on Threads. “Those accounts are managed by the White House so with a new administration, the content on those Pages changes.
“This is the same procedure we followed during the last presidential transition. It may take some time for follow and unfollow requests to go through as these accounts change hands.”
That sounds like a plausible explanation. If you followed when Biden was president, that same account is now Trump’s.
Which means there are likely millions of users either unfollowing or following the account since Monday. I’d be surprised if anyone wanted to hear from both Biden and now trump.
I couldn’t find an actual article, but here’s people complaining about Instagram doing the same thing four years ago:
Old.reddit.com/r/Instagram/comments/l1y2je/unfollowed_and_blocked_the_white_house_account/
Hell, 4 years ago Biden was bitching that Twitter didn’t do this

“Luigi” was the response to “how do we fight fascism”…
That is the context you were avoiding by not linking.
This isn’t an argument, I’m trying to explain something to you.
Yeah, once I noticed the post title it made sense why you removed the comments.
But even without that:
But mods can be stricter than the instance.
It’s ridiculous that people leap to the “.world is full of pro-corprate fascists” because they disagree with a single mod.
There’s more than few instances I dont like, so I’ve blocked them and never see them. I don’t know why people with the axe to grind against .world dont do the same thing.
Edgy kids just want to find the line and then constantly put their toes over it and claim nothing is allowed because they personally crossed a line.
So…
Members of the government are seizing private companies for themselves?
Isn’t that why we can’t have universal healthcare or free education?
Because the slippery slope would lead to the government seizing private property?
Why are we skipping the good parts?
Devils advocate:
you may use physical force upon another person when and to the extent you reasonably believe such to be necessary to defend yourself or a third person from what you reasonably believe to be the use or imminent use of unlawful physical force by such other person.
Luigi can claim he believes it’s unlawful…
It doesn’t have to actually be unlawful.
His lawyers can start talking about why it’s lawful for insurance companies to decline claims based onnshitty AI.
Opening up a huge can of worms because records disclosed in this can be used for civil trials later…
Especially class actions for people the AI denied wrongly.
Like, dude allegedly executed a CEO in broad daylight, why wouldn’t he want to try and steer this court case towards that stuff?
No idea why you’re being so vague…
This?

Looks like a mod replied and then deleted so not sure what they said.
But yeah, those comments don’t seem to violate .world’s TOS, and I have no idea why a mod would have deleted them. But mods can be stricter than the instance.
I’m not sure why you’re blaming the whole instance for what one mod is doing.
Edit:
The thread title is “how to fight fascism” which is important context I missed earlier.
So yeah, the first comment saying just “Luigi” could very easily be considered a call to violence. Then the next one say “did nothing wrong” also makes sense to remove.
It’s actually not always wrong…
Legally speaking:
In most countries, it is lawful for a citizen to repel violence with violence to protect someone’s life or destruction of property.[3]
The scope of self-defense varies; some jurisdictions have a duty to retreat rule that disallows this defense if it was safe to flee from potential violence. In some jurisdictions, the castle doctrine allows the use of deadly force in self-defense against an intruder in one’s home. Other jurisdictions have stand-your-ground laws that allow use of deadly force in self-defense in a vehicle or in public, without a duty to retreat.

Not saying it’s perfect, but it’s likely the defense he’ll use if not denying he pulled the trigger.
They’d just have to convince a jury that denying healthcare which causes injury and death to a shit ton of Americans is a use of imment force and this action would have lessened it.
If they show that after the shooting less claims were denied…
It probably won’t work, but that’s the path to jury nullification without saying jury nullification is our defense.
Under the New York Penal Law Article 35, you may use physical force upon another person when and to the extent you reasonably believe such to be necessary to defend yourself or a third person from what you reasonably believe to be the use or imminent use of unlawful physical force by such other person.
Tilem & Associates points out in an article that the term “reasonably” is used twice in the law mentioned above. Both your belief that force is being used or about to be used and your belief that your use of physical force is necessary to stop the attack must be reasonable under the circumstances if you want to successfully use the defense of justification.

It’s a sound legal defense, and as far as I know it’s his only option.
But as always: IANAL
A comment was removed that simply said “Luigi did nothing wrong”, which aligns with your first example. The reason given was “wrongful advocacy”, which suggests having a positive opinion of Luigi is against TOS.
Waaaay back when it happened (feels like months but wasn’t it just a few weeks?) there was a mod who didn’t understand things and removed some comments they shouldn’t. What I remember blowing up was removal of a comment just mentioning jury nullification was a thing. The mod thought because you’d get removed from a jury for talking about it, it was against US law to talk about it.
Which is incredibly ignorant.
Going off memory tho admins stepped in quickly and clarified what was ok.
So if you want to talk about a past issue and how it was resolved, that’s fine.
But it’s a different conversation than what we’re having, which is about post admin clarification
Nope.
It’s just when people say we should murder people, it’s against the terms of service, so the comment gets removed.
So you can say pretty much anywhere:
Insurance is a scam and I don’t give a fuck a CEO was murdered
Even:
I hope jury nullification happens for Lugi and anyone else in his position.
But you can’t say:
We should murder more CEOs
It’s honestly not that complicated, but lots of people seem to be confused.
Because some kids need to think Santa is real to not be little shits…
Not everyone needs that, but when religious people say the only thing stopping everyone from being a piece of shit is the threat of a bad afterlife, we should understand it’s at least true for them personally.
When all the rational people stopped going, all that was left was those people and it didn’t take long for them to decide if someone wasn’t “of the flock” Sky Daddy ain’t going to get mad at them for being shits to the non believers.
So community ain’t enough
They need to be manipulated into not being pieces of shit.
Did you know that men are more simple, and easily satisfied?
Just throwing out some casual sexism, huh?
You may be “simple” but thinking everyone who has the same genitals as you think/feel exactly the same is fucking insane…
And you just say it like it’s the most normal shit ever and as true as the sky being blue.
Sometimes it’s fucking cloudy.
You think the French nobility fund d US revolutionaries because they were upset about taxes?
If a country is doing something in another country, it’s for selfish reasons 99% of the time.
If China wants to allow a place for people to complain about trump not controlled by a billionaire in Trump’s side…
What they get out of it isn’t the primary concern. It’s helping the American people even if only done to fuck with Trump’s administration
the problem is that it is controlled by an adversary
As opposed to billionaires working with the trump admin…
If you don’t think this is adversarial government, I won’t try to convince you, it’ll keep getting more and more obvious
You think Elon and Zuck are better?
There’s 4 seasons…
I mean, it’s not really that easy there’d have to be some other changes.
But there is a pretty serious theory that if kangaroos had evolved to be right handed those other changes would have came about naturally until they eventually reached a state capable of advanced language.
Like, rather than the two hemispheres being connected the whole length, it’s only connected in the prefrontal cortex.
But if we never try to get talking kangaroos, it’ll never happen
Fuck AI or a robot butler, just get me a talking kangaroo buddy
Bipedalism is what drives “handedness”
Kangaroos are infamously left handed, and that may have to do with why they never developed language. That’s really the only thing stopping Tank Girl from becoming reality.
However so far no one has been approved for a grant to breed right handed kangaroos to see if they really do sound like Ice T.
But while a quadruped may favor one side or the other, it’s not the same.
I never understood the “enough spam” communities…
They don’t stop posts from going to main communities, it just doubles every post.
Like, especially in this case I agree that there’s too many musk posts…
But I just don’t understand how reposting every article about him helps anything.
Just like they did four years ago when the same thing happened…
