Remember last time Redditor’s protested only to cave so they could keep being mods? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Yeah let’s see if they keep this up. In a few weeks they’ll cave in and say, “Well we want to keep people informed”.
Does Reddit have some sort of contract with X with regards to sharing of content? I know they have one with OpenAI.
This is a bit different from before. They aren’t privating the subs this time, they’re just doing their unpaid full time job by disallowing posts with untrusted sources.
I remember and that’s why I’m here reading your comment 🫡
Waiting for Spez to weigh in with his typical subtlety and even-handedness… 🍿
THATS what spez looks like??? I was expecting some corporate looking lawyer type face. This is more like that incel who repulsed girls in high school, and is now in his 40s…but still very much the same person.
Such a punchable face.

Don’t forget that he used to be a moderator of r/jailbait
Dude, read about the guy. He is such a massive fucking chode.

He looks like a greedy little pig boy
And start banning mods who don’t support Musk and Nazism, wholeheartedly.
Even wearing super cyclical goggles, it doesn’t make sense for reddit to intervene here. Twitter is a competitor, why would they want to encourage people to link to a competitor?
cyclical goggles
The goggles, they keep spinning!
If they have a data sharing agreement, I can think of a few rea$on$.
why do they still show these kind of pictures of him. for me there is only one picture of him to show from now on
I still enjoy the edgy liberty pic and the balding one.
Don’t do it as a “protest.” Do it as the new norm. Xitter has no worth and should be relegated to the porta-potty of time.
Aaaand here come the admins to relentlessly bully any mods involved in this into submission. Because the reddit admins are pathetic, greedy little pig boys who don’t give a flying shit about their users or moderators.
Meta, Twitter, now tiktok. BLATANTLY obvious coordination to propagandize social media.
Fuck then all, damn then to hell, scourge of modern society.
I used to spend time on Facebook catching up with friends and family. That was way back in like 2010. I can’t stand that platform now. It’s all AI trash and random reels. I don’t even know why I’m getting some of these reels but I suspect they are sharing data with other platforms like YT. I miss the internet of the 2000s…
They all share data or buy it. Talk about some random shit near your phone they know. I do it for giggles now. Not sure what works as a trigger it but I’ve made my own advertising for workout equipment, dj tables, etc without searching any of it.
Oh yeah. I get that too. I’m sitting here talking about the most random shit with my cousins and bam! Facebook got an ad for that.
Oh that’ll fucking show em

Some Lemmy communities already have.
I’ve seen that the Playstation and Nintendo communities have both banned it recently.
The less its posts are shared, the less its relevance is to the world. I can’t see that as a bad thing. It always baffled me how outsize Twitter’s influence was on world events/news while having 1/5th the active userbase of Facebook.
Yeah, fuck Reddit. They are part of the problem.
Yeah that’ll show him. I’m sure he’s gonna lose a ton of sleep over the miniscule amount of traffic that’s going to drop for his shitty website that he bought and drove into the ground.
Wait actually he cares way too much about how people view him so it might actually bother him a ton. It’s hard to say really.
Either way stop using Twitter and reddit. Both terrible.
A more fractured internet is coming. Posting sources will be forbidden. Discourse will become more polarized, disconnected, and extreme.
Most of these Reddit bans on Twitter are also half assed. They still allow screenshots of Twitter posts. That means the content is still spread, and Twitter remains relevant.
Lots of these subreddits don’t even get a lot of Twitter links in the first place. Like for lotrmemes it makes zero difference.
That said, Musk and Twitter suck. I have deleted my Twitter account three years ago.
However there still is some information, where Twitter is a good source.
However there still is some information, where Twitter is a good source.
I agree. There are some great OSINT posters that share all sorts of information you won’t find anywhere else. For example when Israel struck back at Iran after the initial wave of missiles and drones- it was a guy on twitter who geolocated and found the satellite images of what they hit.
And that information directly contradicted the Israeli official narrative. You won’t find it on NY Times. You won’t find it on Washington Post. Hell, you’d have a hard time finding it here or on reddit. That’s just one example, there’s a wealth of live data about Russia v Ukraine as well. One thing I’ve really learned the last 3 years since 2022 is that the mainstream media will completely lie to you. It isn’t just bias, it’s outright lying. So people online who are dedicated to the truth and provide receipts, I find, is a breath of fresh air. It allows humans without privileged information to go online and actually see with their own eyes what is happening on the ground. It’s something that frankly hasn’t been the case for any time in human history. Although I think it’s going to be a short window of time that will be true.
I think Twitter has progressively been becoming more censored. For now, most people are more or less ignored if you aren’t talking about the hot topics- but I think very soon anything against official US narrative will be banned. Same thing with Facebook, Tiktok, etc.
We’re seeing the social media sites align themselves with the US government in preparation for the next global war. The first thing to go in war is the truth. Soon there will be a giant firewall and we won’t be able to see content from overseas. Initially people will be able to use VPNs and other methods and then eventually that will be met with criminal charges.
mainstream media will completely lie to you
Mainstream media doesn’t care to research thoroughly and rarely have journalists who actually understand the topic they’re reporting on. It’s not lies, just superficial sloppy work mostly.
Journalists rarely dig through OSINT themselves. They will ask an Possibly biased expert who actually reads and is able to interpret OSINT. Then the journalist will only understand half and misunderstand another part. The cite some quotes from the expert that then make for an article with a clickbaity headline. Only if you‘re very lucky the journalist will review the OST themselves or even show the source directly in their reporting. It’s surprisingly rare that journalists speak the language of the country they’re reporting about.
Not all is great with OSINT, as it’s full of selection bias, rumors, unconfirmed information, and people with agendas.
If we like it or not, twitter is still the most important social network for journalisst and thinktankers.
Twitter has always been the red headed step child of social media. It had outsized cultural importance because most people consumed it via screenshot, not actually browsing the site. The reach of an individual twitter user is greatly augmented by their reach on other social platforms via screenshot
Your right it is where all the journalists post and Substack is a second. Which I can see Reddit banning. Probably not the best to get news from Reddit anymore.
And sports. Sports alone is enough to drive Twitter.
Most of these Reddit bans on Twitter are also half assed. They still allow screenshots of Twitter posts. That means the content is still spread, and Twitter remains relevant.
I wholeheartedly agree. I personally got fed up trying to make a new account recently where I got shadowbanned, where there’s accounts that steal posts from the past and repost them as new just to farm karma and they stay up despite bots detecting them as spam/reposts.
My point is if they’re looking to enforce something they should not do it in a half-assed way.
I did see a sub called fullmoviesonyoutube or something where a mod soloed the ban. Pretty amusing to read the user comments in that one
I feels like bizarro world if you fall somewhere in the middle of the political spectrum or don’t really care about politics. Seems their are only two extremes and you have to drink the cool-aid of whatever site you’re on or be suppressed. Whether you agree or disagree the push to ban twitter/x from all the sports subs was definitely a coordinated operation. Very troubling to me to see this kind of mass manipulation going on… these sports subs should have nothing to do with politics but maybe I’m the delusional one. I don’t know.
Beware of this festering pile of excrement that is the conservative subreddit. Ready your sanity and eye bleach before venturing in
Holy shit. I made the mistake of looking in there. What a festering pile of misinformed louts. There’s not a brain cell to be found in there.
Or, apparently, introspectiveness…
Liberals are just sheep. They believe whatever the media tells them. They think they don’t need to believe anything other than the media tells them. One of the things the media tells them is they are superior to others, and it gets into their heads.
Kettle meet pot?
Uhhhhhhhhh, gotta say, I’ve never once heard NPR tell me that we’re special or privilaged, or above the law. Or even should be.
Meanwhile our current president is a 34x convicted criminal and sexual predator.
…although to be fair, the democrats also had a sexual predator in the 60s (twice), and the 90s.
But I can’t recall any democrat running on the platform of “we’re better than them”.
Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me would poke fun at their audience for being the type to sniff their own farts. I haven’t listened in a while, but I assume they still do.
Good idea. We should do this here.
Assume a single instance should be able to do this no? If so, kind of sad that I don’t think any have that I am aware of.
/c/Playstation has, and lemmy.world has asked users if they should as a sticky.
Kinda wild to me it took this long but I’m not going to be mad about doing the right thing.
What’s “X”? Is that p0rn or something?
Well it is run by a jerkoff.
Imagine you had a relationship that turned out toxic, and then you decided to protect yourself by severing it. Later, when you even hear about X, your heart is filled with negative emotions, and you realize you need to move on.
If this is what it took they were just lazy before. This has been CLEARLY where he is pushing things for a long time now. Twitter is in the Xhitter.
