Waiting for Spez to weigh in with his typical subtlety and even-handedness... 🍿

THATS what spez looks like??? I was expecting some corporate looking lawyer type face. This is more like that incel who repulsed girls in high school, and is now in his 40s.....but still very much the same person.

Such a punchable face.

Don't forget that he used to be a moderator of r/jailbait

He's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at you it doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites you, and those black eyes roll over white.

And start banning mods who don’t support Musk and Nazism, wholeheartedly.

Remember last time Redditor's protested only to cave so they could keep being mods? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[–] [email protected] 107 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I was the founder of r/TIHI in a past life and u/spez removed all of us moderators because we weren‘t opening the sub as part of our protest.

I them requested them to take down the subs title picture and logo which I created and they didn‘t even bother.

Thank you for your service

Yeah let’s see if they keep this up. In a few weeks they’ll cave in and say, “Well we want to keep people informed”.

why do they still show these kind of pictures of him. for me there is only one picture of him to show from now on

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 week ago

Oh yes for the totally unproblematic picture taken at the inauguration, and since it's so unproblematic he can't possibly have an issue with it being posted.

Although a solid second favorite is him in a punk leather jacket. Mostly because he hates it.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

I would also accept the picture of him leaping 2" off the ground with both arms up and his belly showing.

Reddit users are about to get reminded that its not their platform to make rules

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

It's either the power mods or the admins who decide how content gets censored on reddit. Which one is worse?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That was my guess as well, but so far, as reported to Ars Technica, they don’t intend to intervene

He's going to buy reddit now. Lmao.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Can’t musk simply state that naziism is wrong and hitler was a very bad guy?

That’s right of coarse he can!

HHHMMM!

Don't do it as a "protest." Do it as the new norm. Xitter has no worth and should be relegated to the porta-potty of time.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 1 week ago

Aaaand here come the admins to relentlessly bully any mods involved in this into submission. Because the reddit admins are pathetic, greedy little pig boys who don't give a flying shit about their users or moderators.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Lemmy instances should follow suit.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Dbzer0 took a vote and will block it from their instance I believe

Twitter probably benefits from people being redirected to their site from repostings with how it has become the go to source for news like sports, so it might. Won't hurt Elon financially but less people being exposed to the content there that Elon wants to push that don't actively use Twitter is a good thing even if it is only a few.

Even small moves is a good thing with how over the years sports and game submissions have become increasingly more Twitter submissions.

Liberals are just sheep. They believe whatever the media tells them.

That projection.

My first reaction when seeing the salute was ” oh come on, it can’t be that bad… oh it’s way worse than I thought”

As they mindlessly repeat whatever they just saw linked on "onlyrealpatriots.info.biz" from Facebook.

I laughed when he did it twice as if just to emphasize the first one wasn't a mistake.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/1i74b2h/due_to_recent_events_we_will_continue_allowing/

Beware of this festering pile of excrement that is the conservative subreddit. Ready your sanity and eye bleach before venturing in

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Holy shit. I made the mistake of looking in there. What a festering pile of misinformed louts. There’s not a brain cell to be found in there.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Or, apparently, introspectiveness...

Liberals are just sheep. They believe whatever the media tells them. They think they don't need to believe anything other than the media tells them. One of the things the media tells them is they are superior to others, and it gets into their heads.

Kettle meet pot?

Yeah that'll show him. I'm sure he's gonna lose a ton of sleep over the miniscule amount of traffic that's going to drop for his shitty website that he bought and drove into the ground.

Wait actually he cares way too much about how people view him so it might actually bother him a ton. It's hard to say really.

Either way stop using Twitter and reddit. Both terrible.

A more fractured internet is coming. Posting sources will be forbidden. Discourse will become more polarized, disconnected, and extreme.

Most of these Reddit bans on Twitter are also half assed. They still allow screenshots of Twitter posts. That means the content is still spread, and Twitter remains relevant.

Lots of these subreddits don’t even get a lot of Twitter links in the first place. Like for lotrmemes it makes zero difference.

That said, Musk and Twitter suck. I have deleted my Twitter account three years ago.

However there still is some information, where Twitter is a good source.

In before reddit forces those subs to allow links to twitter.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Good idea. We should do this here.
