Both are sick and deplorable. I do think it’s fair to say that political violence hasn’t been repudiated enough.

Bluesky is full of pro-murder posts.

> Seems like you have to look pretty hard to find it.

Here's a list of the top posts on Reddit in the last 24 hours:

Shooting at a Colorado school (More important than that other thing)

Charlie Kirk has just been shot

Charlie Kirk says gun deaths "unfortunately" worth it

If you preach hate, don’t be surprised when it finds you.

In an attempt to remove Banksy's art, the UK government has created a more iconic symbol of injustice in the UK.

Kirk once said gun violence is “part of liberty.”

Why do you think President Trump ordered all US Flags at half staff for the death of a Political Commentator, but not for the death of actual Legislators?

He died doing what he loved: trying to get other people killed

Bad Bunny Says He Didn’t Include U.S. in Tour Dates Due to Fear of ICE Raids

Ironic he dies in a school shooting.

Senate investigating Peter Thiel’s money ties to Epstein

“I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage” -Charlie Kirk

I went straight to HN for commentary because I know exactly what is happening on Reddit and for the first time can't bear to look.

You can disregard most of it though, between bots, edgy 14 years old and foreign agitators you can probably remove 75% of these inflammatory comments.

People should never go on these platforms (twitter, reddit, &c.), it's full or radicalised deranged terminally online people discussing their radical political ideas 24 hours a day to the point of being completely disassociated from reality. Go to a local café, pub or other public place, talk to people, the extreme vast majority of them are still sensible and capable of discussing hot topics.

Going to reddit to get political opinions is like going to a circus to get medical assistance

I feel similarly. Too many people are delighted by this horrible event. They think that they are fighting some boogeyman but instead it’s just someone with a different opinion.

The site administrators are trying to supress posts related to it because they can't moderate fast enough.

Same. I went to this thread and saw similar talking points brought up. Dangerous time for the US ahead.

Check out bluesky. Just a website filled to the brim with terrible, ugly, inside and out, "people".

There certainly are a lot of bad people, but I think a vocal minority on the Internet isn’t a good indicator of what most people think. This was a sick and horrific act and the comments celebrating or condoning the violence are also sick. Unfortunately the vocal crazy people are dominating large parts of social media.
