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.

    Sorry to post a reddit thread, but supposedly this was because of death threats to Elon bootlickers. https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/1ihq6ht/whats_going_on_with_whitepeopletwitter_that_got/

    Which is ironic because Elon notoriously promoted project veritas literally catfishing his own employees at Twitter, and also brought back accounts like libsoftiktok that existed to target private individuals. But to be fair to Spez, maybe he would ban those things too.

      Spez lied about a phone call with one of the third party app devs back in 2023. He’s not fair with us, don’t be fair with him.

        Yup. Dude lied to the 3rd party app dev, affecting his livelihood, and the 3rd party app dev showed up on Reddit with receipts proving it.

        Spez is fucking trash.

      The only consistent rule for the past decade or so at reddit has been “don’t sass the nazis.”

        My 13 year old Reddit account with 250k comment karma was permabanned without warning for saying “It’s OK to punch Nazis”.

        Reddit is, and has always been, run by Nazi sympathizers.

      In November he straight up posted names of federal employees that he decided he didn’t like. But now doing the same thing to his little rat fucks has him calling it ‘illegal’

      How is advocating violence any better than being fascist? I don’t get it. It’s weird there’s this flood of violent threats and people treat it like it’s okay. But it’s not, it’s not any better than fascists threatening violence.

        Well, historically the only way to deal with fascists is through the use of violence.

          There’s other ways too. You realise violence isn’t the only option right?
