“Reddit continues to be anti-free speech,” Cedric Hohnstadt said on X. “I just got a lifetime ban from the ‘comics’ subreddit. Yesterday, I posted a humor comic that got over 5,400 upvotes. Then I noticed that there was a pinned post from the moderators saying that comics linked from X could no longer be shared because Musk gave a Nazi salute. I commented saying no he didn’t. The moderator accused me of being pro-Nazi, banned me permanently for life, and deleted all my past posts from the, ‘comics’ subreddit. But somehow Elon Musk is the totalitarian?” The post has been viewed 3.7 million times.
Ok, Cedric. Do it at work in front of your boss and boss’ boss. Do it while staring the head of HR in the eye. Own the libs and prove it’s not a Nazi salute. Quit bitching on Twitter like the snowflakes you hate and put your money where your mouth is.
Why are they bragging about a post 0.14% of people liked?
The sad truth is, nobody really likes Elon. He is just useful to a handful of powerful people.
His family doesn’t even like him.
I mean, he definitely has a small army of libertarian dudebro sycophants.
A friend put it best:
musk is even more unlikable than ted cruz. He just has ridiculous amounts of money (the benefits of profiting off apartheid and effectively slave labor in daddy’s emerald mines). When he finally pisses off trump enough to get the bog standard back stab, it is gonna be a literal one.
Yeah, it sounds like his dad liked his step sister way more. Weird for Elon to be so jealous about it.
Same old Nazi era tactics … disrupt the entire government system with bad decisions and cause chaos everywhere. While everything is falling apart take authoritarian control because they’ll use the excuse that they have to fix the problems … the problems they caused. One of the things they’ll take control of is media and communications so that only their message can be pushed everywhere.
I really don’t care about Reddit but this is just another step towards these idiots following an age old playbook that they hope that everyone just forgot or ignores.
Musk can buy Reddit with his pocket change and destroy whatever is left of the hollowed-out shell it’s become.
Spez would happily sell it to him. Hell he’d prob give the guy sloppy toppy to seal the deal, or maybe just if Musk asked.
Stop threatening me with a good time.
That would do everyone a favor at this point.
Oh no. Please. Don’t do it.
Musk has no idea what free speech means at all.
It’s that thing you get to do once your permit is approved several miles away from the people it would inconvenience, right?
neither do most of us based on our inability to organize the kinds of resistance happening in Georgia, Romania, and Georgia
Of course he notices. Soon he will complain about the fediverse.
Which is the point of federation. There is no one point of failure. Each are different sites. A new site, that federates, can pop up. If they took control of one or more big or medium instances, I would expect it would incite people to spin up more smaller ones rather than stay on a compromised one.
He can try and buy every instance and we’ll just move to the next one.
Oh shit…I’m out of popcorn
Come on Musk… buy Reddit and toss it into the bin where it belongs!
c’mon failon. moneybag the consequences of your actions.
