This isn’t just relevant to Lemmy because it’s culturally intertwined with Lemmy but also because there’s a search engine database now that acts as a registry for anyone promoting any of the mass shooters (Luigi, Robin, Tyler, etc.).
China currently bans anyone from entering who denies their narrative about Tiananmen Square. It’s the same deal here. There’s also a couple of already-controversial Lemmy users who are collaborating with the US government by judas-kissing everyone after having honeypotted them. One of them having been infamous for banning people who promoted “blind alignment with Luigi Mangione” [sic].
Not to be a pedant, but the word assassination is usually used for government leaders and prominent people. I know that the far right in the US sees right wing podcasters as Jesus, but I don’t believe the person who shot and killed Kirk was trying to seize power. I absolutely could be wrong, of course
It’s not your fault in any way. It’s what they’re using on the news. They’re treating this like a head of state was assassinated for power or something. People are calling the police if they see a flag that isn’t lowered. It’s insane here.

It’s not pedantic if it educates. I appreciate the correction.

They way they’re treating Kirks death I would have thought he was some senator or high ranking military personnel.
…not some right wing influencer.
