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.

If Reddit gamers are calling someone else ‘hateful’ and ‘toxic,’ you know it’s got to be bad.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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

They’ll block x for a week and will go right back to using it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Yeah, if they were serious about this kind of thing, they wouldn't be on Reddit anymore in the first place.

Ah, the landed gentry is overstepping their boundaries again.

I wonder how long till Reddit admins get pissy over blocking the nazi site.

Huffman is just another american technology oligarch. It is in his interest to spread corruption and undermine rule of law.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Are you joking about him being a robot or what?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

Missed the word "oligarch". 😆

They really take the PoE cheating seriously.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

He targeted gamers!

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh, right. Yeah, I saw that video, he (allegedly) didn't know the basics of map navigation and wouldn't pickup good drops.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I only put it there because I personally am not very familiar with PoE.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

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?
