I’m sad it took this long for people to wise up, but I guess better late than never?

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Fuck it, I'm logging on helping herd people over to Lemmy lol
The only reason I've been commenting at all the past couple years, lol.
I remember when Reddit actually had the balls to do something like this. They sold out years ago.
Isn't spez a super admirer of Musk? I doubt Reddit will let Twitter bans stay in effect, lol.
This is my takeaway. I imagine Spez is pretty giddy at the thought of being mentioned with Musk, and is eagerly awaiting a phone call from Camp Elon so he can provide the solution (aka threaten mods to allow "Free Speech" or get replaced, and they'll acquiesce again.
I wouldn't recommend linking to it because IIRC it's one of those web sites that can't actually be relied on to serve the thing you linked to to the person who clicks the link. Instead it likes to serve complaints that they don't have an account, kind of like Instagram.
On the bright side, it's already trained me to not even bother clicking on those links.
The "funny" thing is that the reddit admins are almost definitely going to force the mods to unban it within the week.
But so many mods can't even pretend to care about doing something purely performative.
why would they do that without elon doing something
Why did Facebook or Amazon?
they blocked and then unblocked twitter links?
They have already leapt at "anti-DEI" policies to gain favor with the corrupt administration.
So why is reddit suddenly going to actively antagonize them?
I have been downvoting every post I came across that has a link to Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. If those links are banned, I'll have fewer downvotes to hand out. It ain't much, but it's honest work.
They took yer job!
I still have a Twitter account because I have to track down artist sources there, but I rarely post there. I brought it out of hibernation today to retweet the guillotine that executed King Louis XVI.
