Warning: Elon Musk now has Huffman bending the knee. Whitepeopletwitter, iselondeadyet and loads of other Elon critical subs have been banned or suspended.

Just a warning, Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech, it is compromised.

    That ship sailed years ago.

    A reddit thread about this is what actually led me here. Reddit has been on my shit list for a while, it’s cool this place exists.

      Non-corporate owned media is going to be the only way to escape the continued enshittification of the internet.

      Based on the people I interact with daily basically no one realizes this is happening. Outside of the IT department no one realizes or cares. I asked how we were doing to deal with tariffs on electronics we regularly used a while back and was quietly told that was a political statement and shouldn’t be brought up.

      Now we have no plan and I’m too bummed to be smug about it.

      Again, this is just my anecdotal view.

    Just as a reminder, r/whitepeopletwitter was suspended for 72 hours over a post calling to specifically dox and murder a list of federal officials’ names.

    It took years for r/chapotraphouse to be banned for pushing calls for violence against police to the front page repeatedly.

    It took one comment deep in a comment chain from a new account vaguely suggesting violence against police to get r/the_donald banned permanently. This was shortly before BLM started and similar comments would become commonplace all over reddit.

    People who’ve been paying any attention at all know what’s up.

      Was it a list of federal employees or was it like a fozen Elon employees?

      Calling for death threats is still bad, but this makes a difference.

      for pushing calls for violence against police

      You mean those pages are suspended for doing exactly the same as Trump did when he pushed people to attack the Capitol ?

        Reddit is still awful, it just drives me nuts to see lefties think theyre the secret resistance on an evil conservative site when they’re actually the brownshirts who are allowed by the admins (usually- this one went over the line) to do crimes without consequence.
