In the wake of the killing, widespread public animosity towards health insurers ― and UnitedHealthcare specifically ― may explain why the company quickly limited who could comment on their tribute to Thompson.

Still, people still found a way to express how they felt ― to the tune of more than 90,000 laughing reactions as of Friday.

    Fun fact; I caught a 30 day ban once off /r/politics for a comment that was explicitly that quote by JFK, attributed to him. “Promoting violence.”

      The fuck are you still doing on reddit?!

      I haven’t looked back since I left and absolutely enjoy Lemmy.

          I just left lemmy.world yesterday and I was blown away by the massive amount if content coming from instances I wasn’t seeing before.

          I don’t agree with having someone running my instance telling me I’m not allowed to see what people are posting. I can determine that for myself, thanks.

          You’re on lemmy.world, which defederates faster than other instances.

          I left .world a while back. Even with NSFW turned off I still have good content.

          I have 6-hour top as my default sort.

      I got banned for far dumber reasons, so yeah, I belive this 100%. Reddit is a cesspool, and /r/politics is one is the worst examples of propaganda out there. They silence people that voice opinions they don’t like on bogus charges every day.
