    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.

      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.

      Does Reddit have some sort of contract with X with regards to sharing of content? I know they have one with OpenAI.

      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.

    Liberals are just sheep. They believe whatever the media tells them.

    That projection.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

        Some Lemmy communities already have.

        I’ve seen that the Playstation and Nintendo communities have both banned it recently.

        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.

    Wow, leave it to redditors to make change without actually making change. A few of those subs had open discussions on instituting a ban and they discovered x links were in the dozens per year. Musk is definitely gonna feel that. What they should have done is ban all twitter images as well, those fuckers make up 3/4 of posts on /r/popular. Or ban/restrict musk news, because it feels like the remainng 1/4 posts are “news” that cover musk, including dozens of discussions on whether the nazi cheated in fucking videogames or not ( same as here come to think of it ). But no, they’re addicted to those and unable to make meaningful changes, so they’re left with these halfcocked “bans”.
