Summary
Reddit’s r/medicine moderators deleted a thread where doctors and users harshly criticized murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Comments, including satirical rejections of insurance claims for gunshot wounds, targeted UHC’s reputation for denying care to boost profits.
Despite the removal, similar discussions continue, with medical professionals condemning UHC’s business practices under Thompson’s leadership, which a Senate report recently criticized for denying post-acute care.
Thompson, shot in what appears to be a targeted attack, led a company notorious for its high claim denial rates, fueling ongoing debates about corporate ethics in healthcare.
Not a great decision from the moderators.
Hopefully, it encourages more platform attrition.
I do think about pitching Lemmy to Redditors annoyed by all this.
But that would require me to

Not may, will. Power mods hate it when you pitch alternatives they have no control over.
Lemmy has been pitched numerous times on Reddit without deletion.
It worked on me
Watch people join Lemmy, Doxx people and make death threats then grab their pearls when they realize you can’t do that here either lol.
Depends on the instance. Lemmy.world, yeah ok. Some of the others? Ehhhhhh
“We are paid by CEOs. Better side with them.”
“You’re just a moderator; you don’t get paid at all!”
Happens on Lemmy too.
They made it clear site wide that you can’t support/celebrate this
