Spez was complimenting Twitter, so its not out of the question.
I doubt they'll care, if only due to self-interest. Most of the corporate sites are trying to ban or deprioritize links because they don't want people to leave their site and stop viewing their ads.
If Reddit gamers are calling someone else ‘hateful’ and ‘toxic,’ you know it’s got to be bad.
Yeah, I'm not usually someone who's anti-Reddit (in terms of the users, at least)...but the first sub I blocked was r/gaming, and the most negative users I ever interacted with were on r/AnimalCrossing and r/Nintendo.
I don’t understand how animal crossing players could be so negative lol

To be clear: It wasn't the behavior of X or Musk over the past year that caused this, when he was already clearly being a Nazi pushing Nazi propaganda, it was the Nazi Salute.
I'm glad people are finally blocking X and I'll take wins where we can get them, but this should have happened a long time ago.
The behavior of X did not change after his salute, it was already operating as a Nazi platform. My opinion of Musk didn't change after seeing his Nazi salute, I already knew he was a fascist supporting the fascist party. My only surprise was that he was already willing to say it louder for the people in the back that he's a Nazi.
It's so frustrating that people are so unwilling to call fascists fascists until they go completely mask off. Musk can exhibit every Nazi behavior and people keep using X no problem, but it's the fucking salute that gets them to finally block the platform.
So do people hate Nazis because of what they stand for? Or do they just hate the Nazi salute? Because by all available information it's the salute that might get someone in trouble, all the other behaviors get ignored or excused.
I didn't think I was still capable of being shocked but the nazi salute at the president's podium did actually shock me a little. They fuckers are not even trying to pretend any more. I would hope that this shit makes people avoid musk-related products like they're a rabid rottweiler. I kinda feel bad for people who bought a Tesla years ago though. Also, spaceX has to be a national security issue now.
They fuckers are not even trying to pretend any more
They're still trying to pretend:
Alternative explanations for the gesture are plausible. Musk is socially awkward, and he may have been stiffly trying to throw love to the crowd for helping put Trump back in office. “My heart goes out to you,” he said after he did the gesture a second time.
All those "explanations" babbling about Musk's "intentions"... aaah, when will they cut off the crap???
Like. Let's pretend for a moment that Musk was totally trying to convey "my heart goes out to you" or crap like that. It doesn't bloody matter - regardless of his "intentions", the gesture conveys support to Nazism, and it's the only sensible way to interpret it within that context.
If I somehow accidentally did a Nazi salute my first response would be "Oh my god, I am so sorry, that was not my intention. Nazi's are bad and I denounce all Nazis." Then I would explain what I was trying to do.
Musk hasn't bothered with the apology or denouncing Nazis, because it wasn't a mistake and he was saying it nice and loud for the people in the back.
The most generous interpretation for people defending it is that they know it was a Nazi salute and they are trying to maintain "plausible" deniability. The only other explanation is they are complete fucking morons.
Rolling stone? That's disappointing. Yeah I've seen similar shit in the media. But I'm thinking if it acts like a nazi and looks like a nazi it is probably a fuckin nazi. it's pretty fuckin alarming, a lot of people died getting rid of them last time they gained power.
He’s financing AfD and has agreed with tweets that Jewish people are trying to dovide the white race. He’s as fascist as fascists can be.

They really take the PoE cheating seriously.
What's PoE? Other than Power over Ethernet, of course.
Elon did a live stream playing the new Path of Exile game. His character was one of the top 20 ranked in the game. He has bragged about being the best on several games. Anyway, it was obvious to everyone watching that he knew very little about how the game actually worked. He finally confessed this week that he pays other people play the character for him, but also claimed that all the top players do it.
Oh, right. Yeah, I saw that video, he (allegedly) didn't know the basics of map navigation and wouldn't pickup good drops.
The part that got me the most was when he was complaining about his gear (some of the very best gear in the game) "this helmet is only level 52, even though I'm level 96". Those were equip levels, not power levels... One of his items he dismissed as not good was the one you get from the final boss. There's no room for "allegedly" with that part.
I only put it there because I personally am not very familiar with PoE.
I'm willing to believe that some of the top players might do it, but how many of them brag to the public about how highly they're ranked and how good they are at the game while barely knowing how to play it?
Let's be real, who's good enough at the game to be able to rank someone else's account up to the top levels without themselves being at the top levels?

reddit replacing mods in 3 ... 2 ...
They might be motivated by political views, fact checking, etc, but the subreddits I've seen discussing it (baseball, Iowa) are focusing on the fact that you need an account to see anything now. Screenshots from X would still be permitted; just not direct links due to the degree of interaction with the site required to view the material.
It's sound reasoning, in my opinion. X either links you to an actual source or is a short post easily captured in a screenshot.
r/republican is melting down over the removal/no more Twitter links thing
Really, what don't those people melt down over. They're reactionaries, they by essence have to melt down over everything.
Fuck em.

Uh-oh, reddit also deleted a top comment for recommending Lemmy - are they Good or Evil? Binary thinker brains asplode!
Ah, the landed gentry is overstepping their boundaries again.
Good.
...and what is Reddit?
What is love?
Baby don't hurt me

I thought the biggest PC gaming sub was /r/pcmasterrace ?
They had to shutdown because master race was in the title.
It is
They’ll block x for a week and will go right back to using it.
Yeah, if they were serious about this kind of thing, they wouldn't be on Reddit anymore in the first place.
It's the pot calling the kettle black.
