Waiting for Spez to weigh in with his typical subtlety and even-handedness… 🍿
And start banning mods who don’t support Musk and Nazism, wholeheartedly.
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
TIL… what a fucking douche
Dude, read about the guy. He is such a massive fucking chode.
He looks like a greedy little pig boy
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.
He looks like Zuckerberg fucked Ellen DeGeneres.
Please don’t insult pigs by comparing them to that cunt.
Even wearing super cyclical goggles, it doesn’t make sense for reddit to intervene here. Twitter is a competitor, why would they want to encourage people to link to a competitor?
cyclical goggles
The goggles, they keep spinning!
If they have a data sharing agreement, I can think of a few rea$on$.
Not a competitor, fascism. And because the US government passed them a few million to do so.
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
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.
I still enjoy the edgy liberty pic and the balding one.
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.
Why would the owners of Reddit care about twitter?
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…
Those are rookie numbers!
Lemmy instances should follow suit.
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.
Disagree, but I also almost never follow them anyway. I pretty much only follow a link if I think it’s to a first party article or something.
De-centralized as long as you go with what I say…
I’m not sure you understand what decentralized means.
You’re perfectly free to go on Lemmy instances that don’t have that as a rule.
Here we go. If let’s just say all the instances came together and did the same ban because some hivemind mentality had taken over. It would metaphorically be centralized again. The chances of that happening-probably zero.
How can you have been on Lemmy longer than me yet have such a fundamental misunderstanding of centralized/non-federated vs decentralized/federated?
Yeah that’ll show him. I’m sure he’s gonna lose a ton of sleep over the miniscule amount of traffic that’s going to drop for his shitty website that he bought and drove into the ground.
Wait actually he cares way too much about how people view him so it might actually bother him a ton. It’s hard to say really.
Either way stop using Twitter and reddit. Both terrible.
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!
That would be good for Lemmy.
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.
Thank you for your service
A redditor of quality, you have my respect.
No wonder the subreddit’s gone to shit.
Does Reddit have some sort of contract with X with regards to sharing of content? I know they have one with OpenAI.
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”.
Fuck Reddit and X
tbf it’s the users of Reddit and they’re doing the right thing
They are still on reddit
To befair the only lemmy community I’ve seen thats blocked X is /c/Playstation.
So reddit still has 49 more than we do.
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.
I saw it from the monster hunter community, now you can’t post the source of a fanart lol.
You can always leave their @handle if you want to credit them. Most artists also have other channels. If they only have X… Well sucks to be them but it’s thteir choice.
Might get more artists to move to Bluesky at least
Oh that’ll fucking show em
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.
Fucking preformative liberals, instead of attacking the systems of exploitation that harm the community they virtue signal for they focus on the temporarily manufactured villains.
If you can’t have everything, you’d prefer nothing? Isn’t that the same logic that got us a second trump term?
No the logic that got us a second trump term is “we can move as far to the right as we want, and as long as we’re second worst, people will have no choice but to vote for us.”
So… what?
In your ideal world nazi sites wouldn’t be blocked?
What are you even arguing here?
There is no world in which refusing to use a site run by a nazi is a bad thing.
I’m arguing liberals have the memory of a goldfish and will forget it the next time something else comes up. This is #resist 2.0, purely performative.
