one X user claimed the website was "anti-free speech" after he said he was banned from the "comics" subreddit for denying that the tech mogul did a Nazi salute
That sounds like pro truth rather than "anti free speech", no?
Reddit's about to get shittier. Again. Either they'll kowtow to Musk and make it against the rules to ban X links or they'll give some bland, noncommital, centrist statement about how they respect the hard work their mods put in to keep Reddit going or whatever. I really doubt they'll make any unequivocal statement condemning Musk as the neo-Nazi shitbag he is.
- The second reddit pulls some pro-Elon conservative bullshit, expect Lemmy to be FLOODED.
  Reddit is a liberal haven and there will be a mass exodus if they toe the President Musk line.
  
  If the API price-gouging scandal didn't bring them all over already, then you might be surprised just how many continue to hang on there, even after this one. And the next one. And the next.
  It's just how people are. We don't want to change.
  It will bring some people over. But I doubt there will be a flood.
  
  hopefully not just lemmy.world cause
  terrible for lemmy
  terrible for them
it won't be long before the piggy little fuckboy starts sucking on musk's nipple and issue some sort of ban to that movement. god it's good to be off that site
I have no doubt Spez will be thrilled to help further enshitify reddit.
- Spez would be thrilled to sell it, I'm sure.
  
  By 2030 am that will be left to communicate will be billionaire owned social media, fediverse and 4chan. Oh, and IRC.
Elon Musk Takes Aim at Reddit
"This is insane," Musk responded.
Yep, totally taking aim at Reddit. Definitely not clickbait.
YES? Buy reddit! The death of reddit is only a good thing.
- The death of any public platform is a bad thing, even that flawed as Reddit
  
  Not when we have Fediverse
🎶 Elon Musk can suck my dick, suck my dick, suck my dick. Elon Musk can suck my dick, all the blah blah blah… 🎶
Today I made a joke about Donni on r/pic, nothing vulgar, just that he never touches his wife and I was instantly banned. Fuck Reddit
- Found my way back to Lemy today as well for something similar. I've noticed just in the past few days the comment threads on even mundane threads have gotten really weird. It could be a post about a picture of a hummingbird and it would devolve into strange politics. Weird pro CCP and North Korea stuff lately too. It's weird.
Great timing for me to have deleted my account haha
- Same as me, lol
- Me too
They came after redditors
redditors
- redditors
  Anne Frankly, that's when I came to the lemmyverse.
  
  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Fuck you Elon musk.
accused me of being pro-Nazi
Does pro-Nazi thing
Gets called out for doing pro-Nazi thing
What a thin-skinned little bitch of a boy.
With how active r/fednews has been, no surprise
