They exchanged messages just before the subreddit r/WhitePeopleofTwitter was given a temporary ban for 72 hours
“Free speech absolutist” 🤣🤣🤣
Reddit is dead to me and I was with it since near the beginning.
There was that peak time back in the 2010s. Right after they got rid of all the worst hate communities but before they were taken over by astroturfing.
Maybe like 2014-2015ish?
Same. Joined at the Digg migration. Left at the 3rd party App-ocolypse. Reddit is dead. Or perhaps it’s more accurate to say that it’s a zombie: with more bots than actual human users, it’s the Dead Internet Theory in action.
There has been unwarranted censorship at a scale I’ve never seen on Reddit I thought it was the last bastion of free speech
While actual hate speech and seriously harmful content goes completely unchecked
It is unfortunate
Steve Bannon isnt welcome on Colorado. Phil Long Auditorium shouldnt host nazis. I was banned for saying as much from Fucking Reddit of all places Pointing out that there have been fires at dealerships lately does not equate to harrasment Phil Long Auditorium should not host the Rally period. Their casual attitude towards white supremacy is unacceptable and while i dont believe they should necessarily be burnt to the ground, there are better places to buy automobiles They deserve to be boycotted And i will punch a nazi mod in the face 100% of the time
Edit: UPDATE 2 PROTESTORS WERE RAN OVER BY TWO DIFFERENT HATE RALLY ATTENDEE"S CARS !!! NAZIS ARE VIOLENT PIECES OF SHIT
Told you so r/Coloradosprings
Fuck yall
I’d argue Lemmy and other decentralized platforms are the last bastion for free speech instead of Reddit though.
Like, since Lemmy, Pixelfed, Mastodon, PeerTube, and Matrix are decentralized, that naturally shields them from censorship somewhat compared to centralized platforms where you’re ultimately at the mercy of whoever runs that platform.
I’m old enough to remember when Elon released “the twitter files” in an attempt to demonstrate how the federal government supposedly exerted egregious pressure on private media in violation of first amendment right.
That’s why I’m here. Whatever musk touches turns to shit.
The mierdas touch!
My permaban came from a post about DOGE. They deleted the comment, permabanned me, and wouldn’t let me see what I even commented. They said it was “encouraging violence” but hell no, I was making sure not to say anything like that. Wonder if I just insulted Elon and reddit decided to finally get rid of me.
Ya. The ol’ “encouraging violence”. Pretty much the same thing as “national security”
I just got a temporary ban for cussing out Elon in one of the antifacist subreddits, felt good. I’m wearing this ban as a badge of honor.
I got perma banned for calling a magat regarded and telling them to stop eating crayons, under rule 1:
Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.
lol. The small, vulnerable, and marginalized group of election winning fascists.
regarded (sic)
Surely you can insult musk without being ableist though? There’s 500,000 words in the English language. Choose one that doesn’t drag innocent people into it.
I’m not and never was banned from there, however I left on my own accord after this happened, as if all their other enshittification didn’t reinforce that decision.
Elon acts like a dude with a very tiny penis.
Like?
Ya. Who are we kidding. Bros got a tiny pecker.
Elon is being a damn snowflake.
My God they’ve pissed off Hitler
This was finally the point that made me come here
I’m amazed any of you get told why you were banned
Man he’s such a little fucking snowflake isn’t he?
Which one, (fuck) spez or the Nazi saluting trust fund baby?
whynotboth.gif
¿Porque los dos?
Yes
That is a very good question.
I guess even r/whitepeopletwitter wasn’t white enough for Musk.
So much so that he’s a goddamn puddle at this point
