They exchanged messages just before the subreddit r/WhitePeopleofTwitter was given a temporary ban for 72 hours
I’m not and never was banned from there, however I left on my own accord after this happened, as if all their other enshittification didn’t reinforce that decision.
Thank fuck I deleted my account when they “accidentally” banned a bunch of subreddits that were related to trans or LGBTQ folk. I found that disgusting.
Yeah, I’d deleted my Reddit posts and then my account in November. I was already irked at what they did to their API, and then the Orange Dingbat got elected and I decided it was enough.
Later on, I went back, but only to lurk, but since many of the specialised subs require that you join in able to read posts makes it pretty unusable at this point.
I miss the old Reddit; I was there for over a decade. But here we are, building a new place for ourselves.
Almost like the sites need the users more than the users need the sites.
Social platform capitalism. Yupppp
I never believed reptilian conspiracy theories but now every time i see his photo and his eyes remind me of reptilian. So what if it is true? What if them ultra rich with true background story how they climbed ladder of power and success are actual reptilians who make regular earth humans do crazy shit. What if? Because nothing else controls people on the planet but ultra rich. Ultra rich do not go to wars and usually do not deal directly with poor common man. They live in their own world behind the walls similar like in the movie “In time”. Putin does not go to war neither his children, or trump. They send poor/uneducated or impressionable people to spill the blood of others.
Nah, they’re all just socio-/psychopaths
Nah they’re human for sure. It’s only humans that can be evil as fuck.
I wonder if it’s an affect of the media we would be consuming will use awkward photos and videos whereas their media uses more normalized. And vice versa.
I don’t feel bad that I got banned by the guy behind the cybertruck. Ahahahaha.
I’m amazed any of you get told why you were banned
My posts and comments were being censored too. Nothing related to Musk nor politics, Good thing I switched over. This is my new home.
‘Pressured’? I hate these types of ‘highlighting’ in titles.
Journalists do that to indicate that a term is quoted from a source’s word choice; it’s not for emphasis.
Because Reddit mods are known for not being massive corruptable stooges?
duckduckgo: shows tracking attempt. Zero attempts on lemmy
Fuck the GAFAM + Musk rat.
Add reddit. FRAGMAT? MAF G RAT? MAGA FRT? Oh thats not bad
This is why I left Reddit.
Let’s be real here, Pig Boy didn’t need Elon to pressure him much to clamp down on people critical of the elite.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Tired of government censorship, whether it’s left or right wing. They both do it, and it sucks either way. Then both sides will “champion free speech” when they’re not the ones in power.
You’re completely right, both sides have speech they find unacceptable. But lets try to look at it a little closer, what kind of speech does the left try to ban?
Mostly stuff like racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, stuff that hurts others and keeps them down. But i agree, sometimes they take it too far. A lot of left leaning people are very sensitive.
What kind of speech does the right want to ban? Mostly stuff about their human rights violations, as far as i can tell.
Two sides of the same coin, i guess.
What I find ironic about this whole situation is that the conservatives had a major uproar after they discovered that the Biden administration told Meta/Facebook to censor COVID misinformation. But now that it’s them telling social media platforms to censor content critical of Musk and DOGE? Complete and utter silence. Free speech my ass. Source
I wonder how many people will struggle to cut themselves off from their reddit crackpipe. So many people are still using Meta shit even after it’s been overtly weaponized against dissidents.
Ah…ah…ah…ach-<no one should be allowed to bomb hospitals>-choo!
I bet only a handful know about it.
So more traffic for Lemmy, Mbin & PieFed
Oh, please… the mods are all little bitches. Like they care

I am jumping back and forth as well for now…. My first posts here! Thanks to whomever got this going !
Welcome. Your username is a joy to pronounce in my head
Yeah I’m originally from Littleton Massachusetts just outside Boston. I’m wickedcool On Bluesky😂
Just reddit things.
I get that Musk is doing all types of tropes. But… what is the source for this newspaper I never heard about before? Is there any evidence for these pressures beyond “Trust me bro, we are the Latin times”?
I also deleted my reddit account. What is happening in that sub?
Spez is silencing people all over reddit giving warnings n shit for making Elon cry, it’s what made me come here just now via r/enoughmuskspam
/r/mariokart is gonna fucking implode
This happened to me like 10 times so I came here.
I’m sure this wasn’t designed as an exodus of critical thinkers
Welcome!
In case you’re very new, I should mention something about this place…
We have the best Star Trek memes, here…
Well, the most anyway…
Okay not the most…
But our devotion to Star Trek memes is both adorable and worrying.
Wow now I feel justified for leaving and feel like I should do another post where I tell people to follow us here
They mostly ban our accounts when we do, but I don’t mind. I like to tell people when the party has moved, if they seem cool.
I read the article and the headline is more like click-bait. There’s a lot of innuendo, but not much in the way of factual reporting. I can’t stand the arrogance of Musk, I also believe that venerable reporting companies should be fact based.
They should only post critics of Doge now.
It’s why I came here…
