      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 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.

        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.

        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.

      Even wearing super cyclical goggles, it doesn’t make sense for reddit to intervene here. Twitter is a competitor, why would they want to encourage people to link to a competitor?

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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 mean if you only saw and read Reddit during the last election campaign, you’d be ABSOLUTELY sure at the first half of the campaign that Biden was going to win, might as well don’t have an election at that point

      And then, after Kamala got into the campaign, again, if you only saw and read Reddit, you’d be, again, ABSOLUTELY sure that she would win, it wasn’t even a contest.

      If reality were downvotes, upvotes or massive bans to users posting against the thread zeitgeist, yeah sure, that would be what happened.

      Hard to accept reality after that harsh wakeup call

    Here on Lemmy, people who claim to advocate for freedom of speech and information, demanding for information shared on social networks to be controlled, shutdown and people to be censored based on unknown and ambiguous criteria, without even understanding the implications of it.

    Details at six

    Fucking preformative liberals, instead of attacking the systems of exploitation that harm the community they virtue signal for they focus on the temporarily manufactured villains.

        No the logic that got us a second trump term is “we can move as far to the right as we want, and as long as we’re second worst, people will have no choice but to vote for us.”

      So… what?

      In your ideal world nazi sites wouldn’t be blocked?

      What are you even arguing here?

      There is no world in which refusing to use a site run by a nazi is a bad thing.

          Got it, there’s no point in ever fighting them since we might not fight them at some unspecified point in the future, we should just all welcome and embrace Nazis. Thanks for letting us know how to move forward.

                We are currently living in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World where even the mention of breaking free from the chains is met with resistance. Liberals would rather dose their Soma than allow meaningful change to happen.
