I think they did this to create a megathread for it. I dont think they have a function to move all comments from one post to another though.
Also, given how left leaning Reddit is nowadays (or maybe more accurately, how much Redditors hate Trump specifically), I would imagine there were probably a lot of comments that violated the rule about “don’t wish death or harm on anyone else,” which is honestly a rule that all humans should have the basic decency of applying to everything.
I agree. Does Lemmy have any such rule, or is that instance specific? I’ve seen a lot of questionable comments on the political communities here.
There was a post saying it’s too bad they missed, and I said “That’s not the way,” and got a mess of downvotes. People were arguing that me saying we shouldn’t advocate for political assassination means that I’m enabling fascism. I don’t even know what to say to that.
Lol isn’t a step of fascism usually assassinating political opponents?
Why yes, yes it is
Yeah, I’ve seen comments about that as well. Thanks for calling them out - it is really important.
I was just over there by accident (not logged in) and yes they had the mega thread but literally every other post on that front page was about it. And many of them were not left leaning at all.
Reddit bias is real. There is no way the Trump shooting isn’t the biggest story on the internet at this moment and reddit is pretending that it isn’t trending!
Reddit is 100% Biased!!!
i never seen that news before
Oh, yay, they’re wagging the dog.
