News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I'm sure the main concern is the protests that are taking place all over the world against one of his companies

If he really didn't want people to share a picture of him heil-ing, then he could always, oh, i dunno, STOP FUCKING HEIL-ING you stupid fucking twat

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 46 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I’m more shocked that Reddit didn’t comply.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Too blatant. Shows there's still a line that even business people have trouble crossing

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 month ago

But it's not a moral thing, only a 'cattle would leave us' thing.

[–] piecat@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

That costs more money.

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

They will, just not while it's current.

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 126 points 1 month ago (2 children)

In Musk logic: it's not bad when he does it. It's bad when people start discussing it, because they might come to a disapproving conclusion.

On TV the heil reaches the target audience in a way of plausoble deniability, on the internet it can be perceived constantly, thought of, discussed. That breeds dissent much more than passive, temporary consumption.

That and he definetely wasn't expecting the backlash to be as big as it was

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

Nope. I saw it live on TV and there was absolutely zero confusion of what it was.

Anyone who thinks differently is dumb as hell.

It was a nazi salute.

FUCKING HOW?

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 12 points 1 month ago

He thinks he's a god. Only thing I can think

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Honestly? I think he was on cocaine or something at that moment, sure looked like it.

[–] unphazed@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's rumored to be ketamine. As in, he loves the stuff.

He was testing the waters And to know his "limit". Now that we know there are people denying what it was and defending him, he can push it further, rally his/trumps base, create distractions and continue the grift while planting seeds of racism and violence among the communities. distraction mostly, but he's a piece of shit human.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 41 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Living in an echo chamber can make one pretty deaf to life's real problems.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Money, private security, and little human shields can too.

Is there confirmation that he actually specifically wanted that image off reddit? Or is this just someone making assumptions after the recent story about him interfering with moderation at reddit?

[–] donuts@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The latter. There's no news about blocking his sieg heil, just articles about the doge critique and banning linking to X.

[–] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm a little out of the loop on how reddit's been. Is blocking links to X officially no longer allowed there?

[–] donuts@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Nah, he just called it insane, but afaik it's still allowed.

[–] Bunbury@feddit.nl 196 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think he wants it removed because of the effect on Tesla. He’d prefer if he could do things without consequences for his actions.

He looks like a fucking serial killer

He looks like he prefers a hairy nut sack in his mouth

There’s nothing wrong with sucking cocks. There’s everything wrong with being a greedy little Nazi bootlicker pigboy.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 31 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Don't forget creating and awarding a unique "Pimp Daddy" trophy for the founder and moderator of r/jailbait and r/creepshots!

"Greedy little Nazi bootlicker pigboy" would be an excellent BDSM/alt-culture nickname if greedy bootlicking pigboy Nazis hadn't ruined everyone's fun. Again.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Cocksuckers at least provide a service. Spez just services himself.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I think you're forgetting his servicing of a certain knob's knob. Here's a hint: it's 4 letters and can be made with the letters in "felon"

[–] Redredme@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And then we say....

Anyone? Somebody? Come on people. Nobody? Well, guess it's up to me.

Fuck Spez.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 46 points 1 month ago (3 children)

because it didn't work.

the whole idea was to trigger the libs with a vague gesture, like that one bitch who turned it into an awkward wave, but he got a little too into it and now people are setting his cars on fire.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Vague gesture? It was a full on nazi salute.

Why are you saying this? Just call it what it is for fucks sake.

Are you afraid or something?

[–] mmddmm@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You can try reading that comment again. Or maybe you replied to the wrong comment, because it doesn't say anything remotely similar to what you are complaining about.

A cybertruck ate the dingo that ate my baby! This is me spreading hate against Tesla. I’m a terrorist. Fear me!

[–] match@pawb.social 11 points 1 month ago

well you see the ketamine told him to
