Sweet unmerciful fuck. This has blown up way beyond what it should have. A few things to shut up the pearl clutches:
-
Generally speaking people don’t have problems with business OWNERS. Sure you’re technically a CEO but that’s like asking why a tomato isn’t in a fruit salad.
-
No one is really operating under the MO of offing all CEOs everywhere just because they took the job.
-
You’re absolutely right, not all CEOs are bad. Some still look at their employees and see valued assets that they invest in and grow. And they’ll never make the news.
-
If you oversaw your company creating an algorithm that literally put weighted values to people’s lives and then denied them coverage that they were confirmed to be eligible for through the programs that they pay you money for while also when being pointed out that this algorithm inaccurately denies people their coverage and has caused actual documented deaths…then if you’re going to play at that table with people’s lives don’t look shocked when it’s your turn to ante up.
Upvoted… am I on a list now?
STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM
You interact with the fediverse.
You’re on at least 3 terrorist watchlists. Period.
Let me check…
Sorry to say, we found your name on the list of cool people! High five!
Not in the fediverse
There are admins/mods on the fediverse, even on Lemmy specifically, who do monitor voting actions and may respond with punitive actions such as bans.
But they don’t just auto-ban you for mentioning a Nintendo character
.world wanted to with Luigi. The admins wanted to crack down on it but the users said no.
That’s how I got banned. It was either that or I upvoted the wrong post or maybe posted a reply with an “Eat the rich” gif.
I mean if you want to move the goalposts to mean that specifically, then sure, to my knowledge you’d be correct so far. Doesn’t mean the medium is categorically immune from that happening though.
The fediverse is fundamentally more resistant to that type of shit tho, cuz mods and even instance owners can’t piss off too many users without the community migrating elsewhere. The split in the memes community between .ml and .world is a perfect example
See dubvee.org. They are like the ban equivalent of the Mormon church’s genealogy records.
