Wasn't it something more similar to "saying that you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying that you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say"?

Of course you're Canadian. That doesn't make you the tiniest bit biased. You know there exists thriving Canadian communities where you can read news involving your country too? Lemmy and other English speaking communities are so heavily dominated by e.g. US and Canada that the news involving these countries naturally appear in normal "general" news communities. The entire point of communities such as these is to give attention to things that yankees and wannabe yankees wouldn't ever dream to give a single shit about.

Would you say Mexico and the US are practically the same?

Does Mexico e.g. share the largest undefended border in the world with US?

Didn't say it was against the rules. Did you read my post at all?

People are saying that this is a low percentage, but I think it could be considered high. Murder (i.e. not necessarily killing a human in general) is classically and in general a really bad thing. Even if people don't care for the parasitic company's CEO and might be glad that he's dead, I could imagine that their gut feeling would tell them to not consider an assassination acceptable.

Both of these posts are complaining about their accounts being banned, which happened because they (at least one of them) posted low effort questions and therefore got lots of downvotes and got automatically banned by a system meant to ban bots and trolls. The irony is that reddit has major problems with their automatic moderation which you yourself as an user is completely powerless to controll, e.g. recently when a massive amount of nsfw subreddits were banned for being unmoderated which they later admitted was erroneous.

It would be preferable if we didn't have to murder CEOs to stop them from destroying our lives but they are sort of forcing our hands here.
