Hundreds of subreddits are considering banning all links to X
Dozens of big subreddits have already banned all Twitter links, and posts about potential bans are some of the most popular on the site.
Summary
Hundreds of subreddits are debating banning links to X.com (formerly Twitter) following Elon Musk’s Nazi salute at a Trump rally.
Dozens of subreddit moderators have already implemented bans, while others are holding votes among their communities.
The bans span political, regional, and topical subreddits, including r/NewJersey, r/londonOntario, and r/christianity, with some highlighting Musk’s gesture alongside neo-Nazi imagery.
This move reflects growing backlash against Musk and his platform over perceived alignment with extremist symbolism.

Reddit's response to this will reveal where Reddit likely falls on the Spectrum of Evil. They're a privately-held company, so any possible protection money they may have paid to the Nazis won't be visible like Meta's and such until the FEC report is (likely never) released in 3 months.
Didn't they recently go public? They're traded as RDDT on the New York Stock Exchange.
Yes, they went public last year. And despite all the gloating on lemmy about a drop in share price right after the ipo, it's up 500% since then.
Edit: 300%
