I support the idea of giving bunnies to horrible rich people, in order to warm their hearts and get them to change their ways. But it is important to note that even if you successfully bun down one person (that is to say, get someone to stop being evil by giving them a bunny), the system will find someone else to take their place. Ideally, you want to establish a credible promise that you’ll provide bunnies whenever they go too far and hurt people with their actions, but that’s not really something that can be accomplished on an individual level. That’s just too many bunnies for one person to take care of, and if anything happens to you, who will take care of them?
In order to ensure consistent delivery of bunnies, what you really need is an organization and a support network. Of course, not everyone needs to be the one out there handing out bunnies. You might be surprised how hard it is to secure transportation and a safe place to stay when you’re travelling with a furry friend, and you might run into trouble if you’re trying to leave town after the fact, but your clothes are all covered in fur.
The way I see it, promises are what make the world go 'round. Yeah, you can just pull out a bunny and surprise someone and that’s cool and good, but when you only have so many bunnies to hand out, ideally you just want to communicate what behavior will warrant a response so that they can avoid that behavior in the future (in order to avoid ending up getting overwhelmed by joy).
Animaniacs did a whole segment on Bun Control as a way to reduce Bun Violence.
better to have a bun and not need it than need a bun and not have one!
That rabbit’s dynamite!
You know, I can see the headline if a Lemmy user used a bun on a billionaire. “Fringe social media platform encourages bunnilence towards innocent billionaires”… Actually has a good ring to it, although it reminds me of how people point to 4chan for the start of Qanon. Ugh
Now that I think of it, would they require instance managers to narc over user data? Admins? If someone on a more extreme instance was to bun a billionaire, would everyone on Lemmy get put on a list or just their instance? Hmmm.
I hope they all have a very nice time.
I got banned from /c/news for “advocating” violence after making a joke about not being able to identify the suspect in the UnitedHealth CEO thread.
News mods are the most thin skinned mods I see on lemmy
There’s a reason most of us have .world instance blocked.
I’m sure there’s some poor mod on there in a community that just unfortunately was started on there, but genuinely it’s a better lemmy experience without.
The people talking in this particular thread, and OP, kind of seem like they don’t realize Lemmy isn’t just Lemmy.world.
Like does OP realize that this community is on db0 and isn’t subject to the rules on the .world instance?
The fediverse is a complicated subject, even amongst those smart enough, or just clever enough, to find lemmy. Many users do think whatever instance they joined is the main one, still others believe .world or .ml as the “main” instance ruling over all others.
It’s weird thinking of a service being this disparate, even if you try to use discord or other similar platform as an analogy, it still fails to acknowledge there is not central server or ruleset (beyond the software license itself).
Bluesky further fucked things up by claiming to be decentralized and federated, and then getting popular.
In short yes, many so think replying here means .world mods will ban their unrelated lemmy account from all of lemmy.
Well hopefully some people who thought that see these comments and learn that’s not the case.
I got banned for the same thing as well idgaf. /c/News and /c/worldnews are liberal hell holes anyway
Same. Joked about starting a gofundme for the shooter. I thought better of Lemmy. Ah well.
Just like reddit it’s all about who’s the mods/admins.
Not all lemmy is the same. The beauty is that you can definitelly find comms which won’t ban you for that
Please don’t show up in our modlog. I know I speak for all of the Admins at lemmy.today when I say that we don’t want to get involved in this shit.
That’s just a miniature bunny with a regular-sized cigar cutter. Is tobacco paraphernalia against the TOS?
I get it, truly I do…just…keep it in bounds please. The instance you are using is self-funded and run by volunteers, please remember that.
What exactly are those bounds.
Referencing is not advocating. Symbolism isn’t illegal.
A picture of Jesus nailed the the cross is more extreme if you take them both literally.
There are historical ways the people have protected themselves because they where pushed to having no other means to do so. Referencing the clear historical pattern is a modern alternative. Memes did not exist during the last revolution.
This milquetoast meme gets your home instance admins hot under the collar? Lol. You are welcome to make an account here, matey.
I think you heard the mod, time to move to a better instance that doesn’t sympathize with the enemy of mankind.
Hippos are more aggressive.
“keep thinking about the rabbits,
LennyMr. CEO.”I think a guillotine is not violent at all, actually kinda merciful. It’s sends a message tho, don’t it?
It wasinvented to make executions more merciful as doing it “manually” came with many mishaps and iirc being the dude with the axe was not something many could stomach for long
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reign_of_Terror
fucking fools the lot of you
We don’t actually want to kill billionaires.
We joke about it because we want them to stop slowly killing us.
“THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.” - Mark Twain
Do you really read that and not conclude that we’ve been living in a perpetual Reign of Terror for the past few decades (or at least since the civil rights era)? This was a response during the beginning of the French Revolution, if we’re following historical playbooks than the revolution needs to be concluded.
edit: meant civil rights, not civil war.
Sounds like the moderators could use a few bunnies from where I’m sitting.
Have you ever interacted with one of the Giants?
I’ve had two Flemish. I’ve seen them crack wood with thumps. Not even their hardest.
Let’s include some suits made out of blueberries.
don’t mind the foam around their mouths. they’re just happy to see you!
