Hello! Migrated over to Lemmy. I’ve noticed in the past few weeks a lot of posts/comments about protests, criticizing Nazis and Elon being censored/removed. This was all magnified in the past few hours as /r/whitepeopletwitter was banned tonight to satisfy fElon.
Why are people still using Xitter? jesus. Move on to mastadon or bluesky or anything other than this insane nazi’s personal media platform.
Why are white people still using it? I do Nazi any reason.
Holy shit! Is there no limit to this fucker’s reach? Money really does buy everything.
honestly even knowing reddit’s antics i was shocked by this too.
When power and tools are given to a central authority to dictate what communication, expression and thought is “prohibited”, for essentially any reason, it is only a matter of time before that is abused.
Another reason to leave Reddit.
The only surprising part of this is that it’s for posts about doge employees and not banning Twitter links
Tell them to come to Lemmy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
oh god it’s happening again
Good. Spez is going to kiss the ring of Musk, I guarantee it.
rat
He already praised musk’s handling of twitter a while ago and based his approach with Reddit on that
Can’t remember the last time I saw srd lock a post that wasn’t then deleted
There were a lot of highly upvoted actual death threads on the sub. I hate Elon Musk as much as anyone on this websites but if you have a bunch of posts with thousands of upvotes calling for mass murder, it’s obvious what’s going to happen.
How is one guy a mass murder?
How is “pink mist them all” refering to one guy?
Where in the screenshot does it say that?
The entire reason that subreddit was closed was due to the post that hit the frontpage with more than 15k upvotes about two days ago and the comments in the thread. Claiming that it was banned for no reason or simply because Musk wished for it is either in bad faith or straight up lying. I saw that thread being made and it was obviously violating Reddit ToS (and the actual law) so hard it should’ve been instantly deleted. Yet it wasn’t.
A handful of comments with less than 50 up votes, what a fucking threat.
It also seems like they are more or less talking about the 6 or so Hitler Youth Musknhas working for him too.
So while it would be advocating murder, I am not so sure about the “Mass” part.

Oh, that’s fine then, my bad!
Seems like you’ve slightly overcounted those upvotes lol
Sounds like something to address with individuals through moderation, and maybe a site ban for individuals depending on TOS details, not the entire sub.
Banning the entire sub, then, comes across as something else entirely.
So I can’t say I’d agree with you.

I’ve seen way worse that doesn’t even result in a comment removal, let alone a whole subreddit getting banned.
Fuck elon, but also good riddance.
My thoughts exactly.
To be fair, last time I visited it I found some dumb posts and content (the subreddit name being one of the reasons), but it seems like it was pretty appreciated
PS: Fuck Musk
