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.
I’m not even remotely surprised. Anybody who has been following the history of Reddit will know that their senior management are spineless and will change their stance at a whim when it either hurts their public image or it no longer becomes viable from a business perspective.
We’re forgetting that this is the same site that allowed jailbait, creepshots, racial hatred, right wing propaganda, rampant misogyny, gore videos, terrorist propaganda (if anyone remembers ISIL) and other disgusting content to proliferate until various scandals forced their hand. Spez in particular is a massive snake that will throw people under the bus and lie through his teeth if it benefits him.
But then again, with a government as volatile as this, maybe you don’t want to piss of Trump or Musk…
100% done with reddit, the place is now propaganda central and censorship is out of control.
I’m gonna have to check on fuckcara and cyberstuck
Just a warning, Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech, it is compromised
Lol.
Lmao even.
Reddit has never been a safe place for free speech.
yes it has, but it was like 15 years ago and absolutely wild
Try 18 years ago, when Aaron Swartz left.
where does the time go
The time didn’t go anywhere, we did.
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.
But to be fair to Spez, maybe he would ban those things too.
The only consistent rule for the past decade or so at reddit has been “don’t sass the nazis.”
How do people not expect this of Reddit by now
Reddit has been Facebook since like 2019-2020. Any social media service that gets too big just becomes a complete shit hole, hence my joining the fediverse.
The resistance will be federated.
Fuck…ppl still use that dumb pigs trash site? Huffman can do one. 🖕
I finally made the jump to here today. I have no idea what federated means but I had have it with Reddit. It’s all bots and reposts.
There is a bunch of different servers and anyone can start their own server if they want to.
Server admins can decide with which servers they exchange information or which they block.
So if one server goes down or the admins there go rogue powertripping, the rest can remain unaffected.
For the most part your user experience is pretty much the same like on reddit, with a better culture here. But if something really rubs you the wrong way, you can switch your home server, or make your own instead of only being able to leave.
Fuck spez
He was also a competitive ballroom dancer in college. I wish I could find some pictures or videos… Seriously, come on internet, help me out.
What’s wrong with competitive ballroom dancing?
Absolutely nothing.
This is the 1958 Hong Kong Cha Cha champion.
You might know him by the name Bruce Lee.
He looks like he has cyborg eyes.
The picture is altered
It just emphasizes what’s already there.
True. The original does not have the text.
Thanks for the chuckle!
His teeth are so weird
Well, there are many reasons why the CCP put 150M in Reddit in 2019…
Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech, it is compromised.
That ship sailed years ago.
Lol… it never was
Yeah… was the whole Ellen pao thing 10 years ago? There’s been dreams every time a sub is banned for ages.
I don’t blame them for backing the jailbait sub, that was creepy as fuck.
Removed by mod
Looks like a bunch of incels being pathetic together. If that’s where you’re finding your masculinity you should probably rethink your entire life from the ground up because you took a wrong turn somewhere.
Just checking: John Brown did nothing wrong, slave owners should be killed.
Only good Nazi is a dead Nazi, those who disagree will be shot in the right leg. The exception being those who think a good Nazi is one they want to torture for fun.
Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech
Friendly reminder of when spez, many years ago, literally just changed a user’s comment, and then went on to not be immediately fired over this insane breach of everything to do with customer relations.
Was that while he was a moderator of /r/jailbait?
Spez is a piece of shit, but wasn’t that a joke? Like other mods added him as a mod?
Excellent point. I’m sure the guy who edited user comments couldn’t have un-modded himself at any given point.
Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech, it is compromised.
I think that happened a long time ago
i was gonna ask if op was new to the internet.
like, what does he think we’re all doing here in the first place
Was it really ever a safe place for free speech?
Back before they went “independent,” kind of. When Sears sent legal threats to take down a post exploiting an xss bug to make a joke about grilling babies, reddit had a big public discussion on it, and ultimately left the post up
