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.
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
Why are people still using Xitter? jesus. Move on to mastadon or bluesky or anything other than this insane nazi’s personal media platform.
The only surprising part of this is that it’s for posts about doge employees and not banning Twitter links
Can’t remember the last time I saw srd lock a post that wasn’t then deleted
oh god it’s happening again
Good. Spez is going to kiss the ring of Musk, I guarantee it.
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.
Welcome.
We have [email protected] which you might like.
if I wasn’t a mod of a subreddit I’d consider deleting it entirely. definitely going to limit my use permanently after reading this, Fuck Elon.
I left my subreddit of 10 million users behind when it became apparent that spez isnt better than musk.
Get a grip.
You’re not required to keep being a mod there, you know
I have commitments, plus the community which I’m working on a game for I interact with is only on reddit primarily.
Those commitments are ephemeral at best and can also be recreated over here. I’m using Voyager and honestly it feels no different than being on Reddit from a UI. People are moving to Mastadon, BlueSky, PixelFeed and others so it’s already been proven it’s not too hard to move.
You should become a mod of a Lemmy community instead
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.
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.
Seems like you’ve slightly overcounted those upvotes lol
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!

Fuck elon, but also good riddance.
