For those out of the Reddit loop (good!), the frontpage is full of subreddits banning Twitter links. Some even ban Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.

Spez would have been at the inauguration right next to Elon and Bezos if he'd been invited.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 minutes ago

Lots of buzz about the fediverse on reddit. A lot of comments about it were removed from some subreddits.

This is probably only gaining traction because little pissboy is butthurt about the snub.

"Darn that Elon and Bezos and Zuck! They think they're SO cool just cuz they got more money! I'll show them! I'll-- I'll-- I'll unleash my army of snoos!"

Next scene: the big boys give spez a spanking, and the link ban is forbidden.

He's not even close to being a billionaire, they'd never invite his poor ass.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Oh I dunno, they might have invited him as a court jester.

"Hey Fool! Tell us a joke!"

"Aw gee... uh... Come to Reddit, the front page of the Internet!"

Everybody laughs. Zuck slaps him upside the head.

Nah he got the black wife, he doesn't fit their nazi profile. He's got (currently) the least "control" over his platform compared to the rest too.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Tbf neither does Couch Fucker Vance.

[–] Jimmycakes 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's why we haven't heard a single thing from him. The amount of photo ops he needs to be in is pretty much over now after the church thing. They'll probably move his office underground and forget he exists

[–] Cort 1 points 2 days ago

Church thing? I must be out of the loop. Was that the one where his wife was nodding along to the pastor saying Trump should have mercy?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You are thinking of Ohanian (I think his handle was kn0thing) - he married Serena Williams.

Wait really??

Lol I can't wait until musk launches one more of his shitty lawsuits at reddit and spez panics and starts demodding people again

[–] miridius 11 points 2 days ago

A bit late but ok

Twitter is dying? I keep hearing that and yet doesn't it still have like 500m active monthly users? I would love nothing more but I'll believe it when I see it...

[–] WhatYouNeed 18 points 3 days ago

499m bot accounts don't really matter.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I’m doing my part. Deleted twitter 5 years ago and never looked back.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

me too, goin' on what? 18-19 years, of never having an account.

[–] Supervisor194 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

You got me beat, I briefly had one, for all of maybe three months - 15 years ago. Deleted it with prejudice when I realized what they were doing, what a nightmare.

Also, I will believe the OP when I see it. It would be a refreshing change of pace to see Elon Musk suffer consequences for anything at all but I'm scarcely holding my breath.

[–] mlg 15 points 3 days ago

all major subreddits are now banning

And that's why people switched to Lemmy lol. We also got banned.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Not all of them. I saw that members of the Hearthstone subreddit's mod team have come down hard on the side of Twitter, and don't see any issue with the current behavior. I wouldn't be surprised if the same was true of a lot of the smaller, more niche subreddits.

I don't keep tabs on any of the larger subreddits anymore, but I also wouldn't be surprised if some of them decided to stay with X. A lot of the people still modding are Spez bootlickers, and Spez LOVES Musk. We might even see a sitewide rule from Spez to force Twitter links to remain allowed.

“Hearthstone”

I remember enjoying that game till blizzard decided they align with dictatorships that censor the desire for freedom. I legit never went back after the boycott and knowing this new detail really reaffirmed that.

That's great. But very interesting to see corporate social media fight each other. Reddit vs Twitter vs Meta vs chinese apps. What will come out of it?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

Death of a few of them, and conglomeration into one of them.

[–] Lvo 4 points 3 days ago

Happy im here now, even more happy to see other people here.
