MODERATORS
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.
Thank you for your service
A redditor of quality, you have my respect.

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”.

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.

Waiting for Spez to weigh in with his typical subtlety and even-handedness... 🍿
THATS what spez looks like??? I was expecting some corporate looking lawyer type face. This is more like that incel who repulsed girls in high school, and is now in his 40s.....but still very much the same person.
Such a punchable face.

Don't forget that he used to be a moderator of r/jailbait
TIL.. what a fucking douche
Dude, read about the guy. He is such a massive fucking chode.

He's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at you it doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites you, and those black eyes roll over white.

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.
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...

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

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
I give them a week before they change their minds

A more fractured internet is coming. Posting sources will be forbidden. Discourse will become more polarized, disconnected, and extreme.
Most of these Reddit bans on Twitter are also half assed. They still allow screenshots of Twitter posts. That means the content is still spread, and Twitter remains relevant.
Lots of these subreddits don’t even get a lot of Twitter links in the first place. Like for lotrmemes it makes zero difference.
That said, Musk and Twitter suck. I have deleted my Twitter account three years ago.
However there still is some information, where Twitter is a good source.

That's not true. Gondor uses Twitter instead of beacons to call for aid now.

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

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

Yeah, fuck Reddit. They are part of the problem.
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.
I saw it from the monster hunter community, now you can't post the source of a fanart lol.
Might get more artists to move to Bluesky at least
You can always leave their @handle if you want to credit them. Most artists also have other channels. If they only have X... Well sucks to be them but it's thteir choice.
