Today I made a joke about Donni on r/pic, nothing vulgar, just that he never touches his wife and I was instantly banned. Fuck Reddit
Found my way back to Lemy today as well for something similar. I've noticed just in the past few days the comment threads on even mundane threads have gotten really weird. It could be a post about a picture of a hummingbird and it would devolve into strange politics. Weird pro CCP and North Korea stuff lately too. It's weird.
Fuck you Elon musk.
What a thin-skinned little bitch of a boy.
accused me of being pro-Nazi
Does pro-Nazi thing
Gets called out for doing pro-Nazi thing
SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU NAZI FUCK
Well said, if a little too understated even. In germany, some mention the nuremberg trials and nazis immediately shit their pants. Give it a read if you like.
wonder where the next trials will be held

"Reddit continues to be anti-free speech," Cedric Hohnstadt said on X. "I just got a lifetime ban from the 'comics' subreddit. Yesterday, I posted a humor comic that got over 5,400 upvotes. Then I noticed that there was a pinned post from the moderators saying that comics linked from X could no longer be shared because Musk gave a Nazi salute. I commented saying no he didn't. The moderator accused me of being pro-Nazi, banned me permanently for life, and deleted all my past posts from the 'comics' subreddit. But somehow Elon Musk is the totalitarian?" The post has been viewed 3.7 million times.
Amazing that a blind man can draw comics.
It sucks to get banned for life from somewhere you love for doing something you didn't feel was wrong, but holy hell, Musk absolutely threw up a Nazi salute.
No, you're wrong.
He threw TWO Nazi salutes.
Anytime else think the second one has a bit of “uh oh, I did that, but can’t stop now” energy?
Either that or he’d broken the seal and was comfortable with it by then. He probably practiced in the mirror before either way. The fact he hasn’t tried it again is encouraging that the criticism might be getting through anyway.
Freedom of speech doesn't oblige anybody to publish anything on their own website that they don't want to, any more than they're required to say certain things if they're shouting on a street corner. "But it's not the same thing, a website has a much larger reach!" It doesn't matter. Website operators get to publish what they want.
Yeah that'll work out well.
I have no doubt Spez will be thrilled to help further enshitify reddit.
Spez would be thrilled to sell it, I'm sure.
By 2030 am that will be left to communicate will be billionaire owned social media, fediverse and 4chan. Oh, and IRC.
is irc still a thing?
Yup, and it will be forever. You get a client and you connect to servers. It's an open protocol.
IRC is based. I hate that so many games these days only use discord. Such a bloated pile of shit when so many only use it to send messages.
Elon Musk Takes Aim at Reddit
"This is insane," Musk responded.
Yep, totally taking aim at Reddit. Definitely not clickbait.
it won't be long before the piggy little fuckboy starts sucking on musk's nipple and issue some sort of ban to that movement. god it's good to be off that site
one X user claimed the website was "anti-free speech" after he said he was banned from the "comics" subreddit for denying that the tech mogul did a Nazi salute
That sounds like pro truth rather than "anti free speech", no?
Reddit's about to get shittier. Again. Either they'll kowtow to Musk and make it against the rules to ban X links or they'll give some bland, noncommital, centrist statement about how they respect the hard work their mods put in to keep Reddit going or whatever. I really doubt they'll make any unequivocal statement condemning Musk as the neo-Nazi shitbag he is.
They came after redditors
