Hello! Migrated over to Lemmy. I’ve noticed in the past few weeks a lot of posts/comments about protests, criticizing Nazis and Elon being censored/removed. This was all magnified in the past few hours as /r/whitepeopletwitter was banned tonight to satisfy fElon.

    if I wasn’t a mod of a subreddit I’d consider deleting it entirely. definitely going to limit my use permanently after reading this, Fuck Elon.

        I have commitments, plus the community which I’m working on a game for I interact with is only on reddit primarily.

          Those commitments are ephemeral at best and can also be recreated over here. I’m using Voyager and honestly it feels no different than being on Reddit from a UI. People are moving to Mastadon, BlueSky, PixelFeed and others so it’s already been proven it’s not too hard to move.

          You do you. A lot of people here are probably bullshitting themselves; and honestly, leaving will only exacerbate the problem of media silos. They want to take over Reddit and turn it into another X when there it still has a massive Anti-Trump presence, evidently by this sub getting temp-banned.

            yeah I like interacting isolated with the three communities I still consider normal hobby wise,once everything dries up though I would leave then, otherwise this is still my main interaction outlet so far.

    To be fair, last time I visited it I found some dumb posts and content (the subreddit name being one of the reasons), but it seems like it was pretty appreciated

    PS: Fuck Musk

    There were a lot of highly upvoted actual death threads on the sub. I hate Elon Musk as much as anyone on this websites but if you have a bunch of posts with thousands of upvotes calling for mass murder, it’s obvious what’s going to happen.

            The entire reason that subreddit was closed was due to the post that hit the frontpage with more than 15k upvotes about two days ago and the comments in the thread. Claiming that it was banned for no reason or simply because Musk wished for it is either in bad faith or straight up lying. I saw that thread being made and it was obviously violating Reddit ToS (and the actual law) so hard it should’ve been instantly deleted. Yet it wasn’t.

      I’ve seen way worse that doesn’t even result in a comment removal, let alone a whole subreddit getting banned.
