Aaaand here come the admins to relentlessly bully any mods involved in this into submission. Because the reddit admins are pathetic, greedy little pig boys who don't give a flying shit about their users or moderators.

MODERATORS
Wow, leave it to redditors to make change without actually making change. A few of those subs had open discussions on instituting a ban and they discovered x links were in the dozens per year. Musk is definitely gonna feel that. What they should have done is ban all twitter images as well, those fuckers make up 3/4 of posts on /r/popular. Or ban/restrict musk news, because it feels like the remainng 1/4 posts are "news" that cover musk, including dozens of discussions on whether the nazi cheated in fucking videogames or not ( same as here come to think of it ). But no, they're addicted to those and unable to make meaningful changes, so they're left with these halfcocked "bans".
Oh that'll fucking show em
Twitter probably benefits from people being redirected to their site from repostings with how it has become the go to source for news like sports, so it might. Won't hurt Elon financially but less people being exposed to the content there that Elon wants to push that don't actively use Twitter is a good thing even if it is only a few.
Even small moves is a good thing with how over the years sports and game submissions have become increasingly more Twitter submissions.

actually it will.
weaning reliance off of a Nazi owned platform is the early signs of a dying product.
Lemmy should do the same IMO.

I wonder how long their corporate overlords will allow this to continue.
Wow, "super effective" now the big boss of neo-fascism is in trouble with this. We will now beat them. Next week no one will talk about it anymore
So, your stratagy is nukes or go home? You just want one decisive move to win, otherwise why bother?
When a baby is born it doesn't just run out of the womb and poop in a toilet. First it slides out. Many months later it starts crawling. Then slowly walking. Then walking. Then running. Then potty training. THEN it can run to a toilet to poop.
But by your logic, oh well, can't run to a toilet on day 1. Best just not to be born.
What’s “X”? Is that p0rn or something?
Work in progress swastika.
Well it is run by a jerkoff.
Imagine you had a relationship that turned out toxic, and then you decided to protect yourself by severing it. Later, when you even hear about X, your heart is filled with negative emotions, and you realize you need to move on.
Reddit users are about to get reminded that its not their platform to make rules
That was my guess as well, but so far, as reported to Ars Technica, they don’t intend to intervene

Good idea. We should do this here.
Would much prefer users and instance admins to have better filtering tools.
Assume a single instance should be able to do this no? If so, kind of sad that I don't think any have that I am aware of.
/c/Playstation has, and lemmy.world has asked users if they should as a sticky.
Who cares
I get it, why give him any attention. But this is not about him--it's about the protest this time. That's fine by me, let's get people going!
