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.
mask off, musk on
Ah, the landed gentry is overstepping their boundaries again.
Good.
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.
...and what is Reddit?
What is love?

Bad, but not nearly Twitter bad.
Reddit had communities dedicated to pedos and an incredibly toxic Trump community long before Twitter started getting a bad rep.
For sure...
But, IDK, i think modern Twitter is worse than modern reddit. That said i havnt been on reddit since the migration.
I thought the biggest PC gaming sub was /r/pcmasterrace ?
It's the pot calling the kettle black.
Oh no, this will be horrible for Lemmy's stock price. ChatGPT: how to short lemmy
That is giving off a malding leftist mods vibe.
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.
