And if people just keep adding “Luigi” to every post? Flood the site with bots posting about Haunted Mansion.
Seems so easy to fuck with if the users have the will.

What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacks
Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.
6. Off-topic tangents

Fuck reddit.
feddit.it, prepare yourself for the influx of new members.
Also, can we "appreciate" how idiotic the word filter is? You don't even need to choose between false positives (e.g. "Luigi's Mansion" gets flagged) and false positives (e.g. people say "LM" and it doesn't get flagged), you got both at the same time.
(BTW if you want to avoid Reddit word filters, just mix some Cyrillic letters into your word. I bet that "Luigi" gets flagged but "Luіgі" doesn't. I used this a lot while trolling in Reddit.)

Checkmate, terrorist!
Luixi Manxone. Lvigi. The CEO buster. Green Mario (thanks expatriado!). Crappy Yoshi.
Done!
Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Blue Shell
Mario's brother, a good plumber (takes the shit out).
People can just use Mario's bro and if they censor Mario then Nintendo's green bro. I wonder if people will use this opportunity to make Nintendo a word that ends up having to enter review.
Green Mario
it also flags "eat the rich"
Reddit protip
Add the special referal code "Luigi" to your posts to get extra engagement and feedback from prominent and influential Reddit members!
What's wrong with green Mario?
That's what happens when you train your model by only feeding it positive cases. If you just count the times a word was involved in a post where a human mod banned/deleted, but not the times it was not... Then again how often were people discussing the game character outside of game related subs? Could simply be some truth to it when loads of people use the 'to Luigi someone' form.
I mean, if used as a verb, yeah....I've had to ban quite a few people who were calling for actual violence. That shit don't fly on an instance I'm legally responsible for.
Please let them know they can migrate to midwest.social, where calling for the murder of CEOs is both acceptable and just plain good manners. Thanks!
yea, sometimes you got to Luigi their accounts
I mean, the direct object matters, too lol.
I wish I could Luigi this post.
