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.
Isn’t that a feature rather than a bug? Each one is on a different server with different admins and different moderation rules.
If you make it so only one can exist and they’re all merged together, you’re back to a centralized system, which is what Lemmy is aiming to avoid.
No, there’s a hybrid where links get posted to one of them get mirrored to all the others, comments get merged, and mod actions only affect the users on their own instance
Then we get all the benefits of federation and very large userbase, but we dont have to worry when one mod abuses their power.
