For those out of the Reddit loop (good!), the frontpage is full of subreddits banning Twitter links. Some even ban Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.

    Twitter is dying? I keep hearing that and yet doesn’t it still have like 500m active monthly users? I would love nothing more but I’ll believe it when I see it…

    That’s great. But very interesting to see corporate social media fight each other. Reddit vs Twitter vs Meta vs chinese apps. What will come out of it?

    Spez would have been at the inauguration right next to Elon and Bezos if he’d been invited.

      He’s not even close to being a billionaire, they’d never invite his poor ass.

        Oh I dunno, they might have invited him as a court jester.

        “Hey Fool! Tell us a joke!”

        “Aw gee… uh… Come to Reddit, the front page of the Internet!”

        Everybody laughs. Zuck slaps him upside the head.

        “Darn that Elon and Bezos and Zuck! They think they’re SO cool just cuz they got more money! I’ll show them! I’ll-- I’ll-- I’ll unleash my army of snoos!”

        Next scene: the big boys give spez a spanking, and the link ban is forbidden.

      Nah he got the black wife, he doesn’t fit their nazi profile. He’s got (currently) the least “control” over his platform compared to the rest too.

    Not all of them. I saw that members of the Hearthstone subreddit’s mod team have come down hard on the side of Twitter, and don’t see any issue with the current behavior. I wouldn’t be surprised if the same was true of a lot of the smaller, more niche subreddits.

    I don’t keep tabs on any of the larger subreddits anymore, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if some of them decided to stay with X. A lot of the people still modding are Spez bootlickers, and Spez LOVES Musk. We might even see a sitewide rule from Spez to force Twitter links to remain allowed.

      “Hearthstone”

      I remember enjoying that game till blizzard decided they align with dictatorships that censor the desire for freedom. I legit never went back after the boycott and knowing this new detail really reaffirmed that.
