Warning: Elon Musk now has Huffman bending the knee. Whitepeopletwitter, iselondeadyet and loads of other Elon critical subs have been banned or suspended.

Just a warning, Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech, it is compromised.

    I’m not even remotely surprised. Anybody who has been following the history of Reddit will know that their senior management are spineless and will change their stance at a whim when it either hurts their public image or it no longer becomes viable from a business perspective.

    We’re forgetting that this is the same site that allowed jailbait, creepshots, racial hatred, right wing propaganda, rampant misogyny, gore videos, terrorist propaganda (if anyone remembers ISIL) and other disgusting content to proliferate until various scandals forced their hand. Spez in particular is a massive snake that will throw people under the bus and lie through his teeth if it benefits him.

    But then again, with a government as volatile as this, maybe you don’t want to piss of Trump or Musk…

    Sorry to post a reddit thread, but supposedly this was because of death threats to Elon bootlickers. https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/1ihq6ht/whats_going_on_with_whitepeopletwitter_that_got/

    Which is ironic because Elon notoriously promoted project veritas literally catfishing his own employees at Twitter, and also brought back accounts like libsoftiktok that existed to target private individuals. But to be fair to Spez, maybe he would ban those things too.

      The only consistent rule for the past decade or so at reddit has been “don’t sass the nazis.”

      Spez lied about a phone call with one of the third party app devs back in 2023. He’s not fair with us, don’t be fair with him.

      Reddit has been Facebook since like 2019-2020. Any social media service that gets too big just becomes a complete shit hole, hence my joining the fediverse.

      I finally made the jump to here today. I have no idea what federated means but I had have it with Reddit. It’s all bots and reposts.

        There is a bunch of different servers and anyone can start their own server if they want to.

        Server admins can decide with which servers they exchange information or which they block.

        So if one server goes down or the admins there go rogue powertripping, the rest can remain unaffected.

        For the most part your user experience is pretty much the same like on reddit, with a better culture here. But if something really rubs you the wrong way, you can switch your home server, or make your own instead of only being able to leave.

      Only good Nazi is a dead Nazi, those who disagree will be shot in the right leg. The exception being those who think a good Nazi is one they want to torture for fun.

    No? You can’t just call for people’s death and leak their info. It’s actually illegal, that’s why they got temp banned.

      Welcome!

      Make sure to try the All section too find new communities! You can block instances or communities you don’t like to moderate your own feed, it’s a lot less algorithmic than reddit is these days. Hot is what Reddit used to sort by.
