LOL "controversial salute"
Looked pretty fucking clear to me.

I'm sure once the press coverage starts to take hold and their venture capitalist overlords realize what's going on, they will crack down on the mods hard. Just like they did back in June/July of 2023. Little piggy boy will punish any rebellious mods and then grovel in mortification to his corporate masters.

Banned on r/NFL actually, which is shocking. That sub relies so heavily on Twitter news

Folks better stop sharing them here too
7 0 ReplyThe fact that meta is also banned makes me think a huge part of this is just getting people onto Bluesky.
I get Zuckerberg is an asshole, but Instagram is the least toxic platform for me. That's because Instagram has keyword and subject filtering.
