They exchanged messages just before the subreddit r/WhitePeopleofTwitter was given a temporary ban for 72 hours
This was finally the point that made me come here

Same here, friend. This is my first post. Fuck Musk, and fuck Spez.

Welcome to you both! I’m also new here and enjoying it so far!

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.
GreenCavalier@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
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.

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 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.
SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’m amazed any of you get told why you were banned
dudesss@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
My posts and comments were being censored too. Nothing related to Musk nor politics, Good thing I switched over. This is my new home.
b3an@lemmy.world 2 months ago
‘Pressured’? I hate these types of ‘highlighting’ in titles.
sunshine@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Journalists do that to indicate that a term is quoted from a source’s word choice; it’s not for emphasis.

Let’s be real here, Pig Boy didn’t need Elon to pressure him much to clamp down on people critical of the elite.
Grangle1@lemm.ee 2 months ago
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.
WuceBrillis@lemm.ee 2 months ago
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.
binary45@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.

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?

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.
LucidLyes@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Wow now I feel justified for leaving and feel like I should do another post where I tell people to follow us here
pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
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.
Zippity@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
They should only post critics of Doge now.

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.
