Lemmy instances should follow suit.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet

Dbzer0 took a vote and will block it from their instance I believe

I just added it as a rule for the communities I moderate. I also set my Bluesky feeds to filter out X links.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 17 hours ago

In before reddit forces those subs to allow links to twitter.

And so begins the stun lock. Genius move actually with adversaries so predictable

Meta, Twitter, now tiktok. BLATANTLY obvious coordination to propagandize social media.

Fuck then all, damn then to hell, scourge of modern society.

I used to spend time on Facebook catching up with friends and family. That was way back in like 2010. I can't stand that platform now. It's all AI trash and random reels. I don't even know why I'm getting some of these reels but I suspect they are sharing data with other platforms like YT. I miss the internet of the 2000s...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

They all share data or buy it. Talk about some random shit near your phone they know. I do it for giggles now. Not sure what works as a trigger it but I've made my own advertising for workout equipment, dj tables, etc without searching any of it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

Oh yeah. I get that too. I'm sitting here talking about the most random shit with my cousins and bam! Facebook got an ad for that.

Don't do it as a "protest." Do it as the new norm. Xitter has no worth and should be relegated to the porta-potty of time.

Most of the X links on Reddit just point to non-X content anyway, and are used by Reddit posters to circumvent subreddit policies on excluding dodgy sources. In other words they were using X as a shitty URL shortener.

why do they still show these kind of pictures of him. for me there is only one picture of him to show from now on

[–] [email protected] 18 points 19 hours ago

I would also accept the picture of him leaping 2" off the ground with both arms up and his belly showing.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 23 hours ago

Oh yes for the totally unproblematic picture taken at the inauguration, and since it's so unproblematic he can't possibly have an issue with it being posted.

Although a solid second favorite is him in a punk leather jacket. Mostly because he hates it.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago

Yeah, fuck Reddit. They are part of the problem.

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

To be fair, Reddit bans everyone for everything now

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

If this is what it took they were just lazy before. This has been CLEARLY where he is pushing things for a long time now. Twitter is in the Xhitter.

Liberals are just sheep. They believe whatever the media tells them.

That projection.

My first reaction when seeing the salute was ” oh come on, it can’t be that bad… oh it’s way worse than I thought”

[–] [email protected] 18 points 20 hours ago

Liberals are just sheep. They believe whatever the media tells them.

That projection.

As they mindlessly repeat whatever they just saw linked on "onlyrealpatriots.info.biz" from Facebook.

I laughed when he did it twice as if just to emphasize the first one wasn't a mistake.

Supports far right movement in Germany, says they are the only way to fix Germany.

Agrees with Jewish people being anti white- "“Jewish communties [sic] have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.”

The billionaire owner and CTO of X, formerly Twitter, responded the same evening: “You have said the actual truth.”"

Does NAZI salutes on a national platform.

People in denial: "I'm sure it was a mistake"

Remember last time Redditor's protested only to cave so they could keep being mods? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago

Does Reddit have some sort of contract with X with regards to sharing of content? I know they have one with OpenAI.

[–] [email protected] 73 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

I was the founder of r/TIHI in a past life and u/spez removed all of us moderators because we weren‘t opening the sub as part of our protest.

I them requested them to take down the subs title picture and logo which I created and they didn‘t even bother.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 13 hours ago

A redditor of quality, you have my respect.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 17 hours ago

Thank you for your service

[–] [email protected] 15 points 22 hours ago

Yeah let’s see if they keep this up. In a few weeks they’ll cave in and say, “Well we want to keep people informed”.
