Nothing yet but to speculate Steve Huffman’s rolemodel Elon Musk has been whinging about subreddits banning links to Twitter. They might replace some moderators again and covertly reverse the community ban.
Yeah, it kind of feels like we may only be a few days away from Rexxit 2.0 depending on spez’s next move. Musk’s comments have been short on this but given the fact spez is already a fanboy and, as Vice Dictator, Musk’s merest utterances get taken very seriously in certain quarters, I could see the Xitter ban being overturned.
This struck made my Spidey-Senses tingle when I read it the other day:
Reddit drives significant traffic to X, particularly for discussions related to trending topics on the platform, so a ban on X links on Reddit could significantly impact Musk’s company.
Now Musk has favoured ideology over profit but if he can get a bootlicker to improve his bottom line with minimal effort on his part, then he might get spez to harm his own site for Xitter’s gain.
It may not happen, but as a Lemmy Instance Admin, it’s something I’m keeping a weather eye on and making a few plans.

I’m amazed there were still moderators left that were willing to do protest actions after last time.
As we’ve seen from the Trump admins, there’s never a shortage of bootlickers who would polish that boot for the smallest amount of power.
Obligatory: fuck u/spez.
That’d be a crazy move. He must know there is an entire wave of new social media emerging thats just poised to punish such a stupid move.
As if Reddit cares about long term stability at all? The line must go up at all costs.
Oh, and fuck Spez.
I’m only recently arrived here but already the tech stack seems significantly more stable
Than Reddit? Yeah.
I still visit some niche subs with old.reddit.com, but I don’t see how users even stand the new site.
That is exactly what I expect to happen as well
