MODERATORS
I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet
Dbzer0 took a vote and will block it from their instance I believe
I just added it as a rule for the communities I moderate. I also set my Bluesky feeds to filter out X links.
Don't do it as a "protest." Do it as the new norm. Xitter has no worth and should be relegated to the porta-potty of time.
Meta, Twitter, now tiktok. BLATANTLY obvious coordination to propagandize social media.
Fuck then all, damn then to hell, scourge of modern society.
I used to spend time on Facebook catching up with friends and family. That was way back in like 2010. I can't stand that platform now. It's all AI trash and random reels. I don't even know why I'm getting some of these reels but I suspect they are sharing data with other platforms like YT. I miss the internet of the 2000s...
They all share data or buy it. Talk about some random shit near your phone they know. I do it for giggles now. Not sure what works as a trigger it but I've made my own advertising for workout equipment, dj tables, etc without searching any of it.
Oh yeah. I get that too. I'm sitting here talking about the most random shit with my cousins and bam! Facebook got an ad for that.
In before reddit forces those subs to allow links to twitter.
why do they still show these kind of pictures of him. for me there is only one picture of him to show from now on
I would also accept the picture of him leaping 2" off the ground with both arms up and his belly showing.
Oh yes for the totally unproblematic picture taken at the inauguration, and since it's so unproblematic he can't possibly have an issue with it being posted.
Although a solid second favorite is him in a punk leather jacket. Mostly because he hates it.
Remember last time Redditor's protested only to cave so they could keep being mods? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I was the founder of r/TIHI in a past life and u/spez removed all of us moderators because we weren‘t opening the sub as part of our protest.
I them requested them to take down the subs title picture and logo which I created and they didn‘t even bother.
A redditor of quality, you have my respect.
Thank you for your service
Yeah let’s see if they keep this up. In a few weeks they’ll cave in and say, “Well we want to keep people informed”.
Does Reddit have some sort of contract with X with regards to sharing of content? I know they have one with OpenAI.
Yeah, fuck Reddit. They are part of the problem.
Aaaand here come the admins to relentlessly bully any mods involved in this into submission. Because the reddit admins are pathetic, greedy little pig boys who don't give a flying shit about their users or moderators.
Waiting for Spez to weigh in with his typical subtlety and even-handedness... 🍿
THATS what spez looks like??? I was expecting some corporate looking lawyer type face. This is more like that incel who repulsed girls in high school, and is now in his 40s.....but still very much the same person.
Such a punchable face.

Don't forget that he used to be a moderator of r/jailbait

He's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at you it doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites you, and those black eyes roll over white.

And start banning mods who don’t support Musk and Nazism, wholeheartedly.

Liberals are just sheep. They believe whatever the media tells them.
That projection.
My first reaction when seeing the salute was ” oh come on, it can’t be that bad… oh it’s way worse than I thought”

As they mindlessly repeat whatever they just saw linked on "onlyrealpatriots.info.biz" from Facebook.
I laughed when he did it twice as if just to emphasize the first one wasn't a mistake.
Supports far right movement in Germany, says they are the only way to fix Germany.
Agrees with Jewish people being anti white- "“Jewish communties [sic] have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.”
The billionaire owner and CTO of X, formerly Twitter, responded the same evening: “You have said the actual truth.”"
Does NAZI salutes on a national platform.
People in denial: "I'm sure it was a mistake"
Reddit users are about to get reminded that its not their platform to make rules
That was my guess as well, but so far, as reported to Ars Technica, they don’t intend to intervene
I give them a week before they change their minds
Wait until some Trump loyalist brownshirt calls pigboy.

Oh that'll fucking show em
actually it will.
weaning reliance off of a Nazi owned platform is the early signs of a dying product.
Lemmy should do the same IMO.

The less its posts are shared, the less its relevance is to the world. I can't see that as a bad thing. It always baffled me how outsize Twitter's influence was on world events/news while having 1/5th the active userbase of Facebook.
Twitter probably benefits from people being redirected to their site from repostings with how it has become the go to source for news like sports, so it might. Won't hurt Elon financially but less people being exposed to the content there that Elon wants to push that don't actively use Twitter is a good thing even if it is only a few.
Even small moves is a good thing with how over the years sports and game submissions have become increasingly more Twitter submissions.

He's going to buy reddit now. Lmao.
Can’t musk simply state that naziism is wrong and hitler was a very bad guy?
That’s right of coarse he can!
HHHMMM!
Why?!
Le epic 14 y/o troll mAStEr mOvE was doing the worst nonverbal political thing one can do and getting away with it without apologizing.
The centrists accept it might have been inadvertent. He'd never have the lefties anyway and the far right will, of course, absolutely love it. It's the kind of thing a kid in shoes of power might dream up and run by the team and all have fits of laughter: “they can't prove anything if you don't say anything!”

Nice way to commemorate the Jan 6ers’ prison release. And great distraction, as it must be.

If this is what it took they were just lazy before. This has been CLEARLY where he is pushing things for a long time now. Twitter is in the Xhitter.
Most of the X links on Reddit just point to non-X content anyway, and are used by Reddit posters to circumvent subreddit policies on excluding dodgy sources. In other words they were using X as a shitty URL shortener.
