To be fair, Reddit bans everyone for everything now
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.
Yeah that'll show him. I'm sure he's gonna lose a ton of sleep over the miniscule amount of traffic that's going to drop for his shitty website that he bought and drove into the ground.
Wait actually he cares way too much about how people view him so it might actually bother him a ton. It's hard to say really.
Either way stop using Twitter and reddit. Both terrible.

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

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".
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!
