It is
They had to shutdown because master race was in the title.
Uh-oh, reddit also deleted a top comment for recommending Lemmy - are they Good or Evil? Binary thinker brains asplode!
To be clear: It wasn't the behavior of X or Musk over the past year that caused this, when he was already clearly being a Nazi pushing Nazi propaganda, it was the Nazi Salute.
I'm glad people are finally blocking X and I'll take wins where we can get them, but this should have happened a long time ago.
The behavior of X did not change after his salute, it was already operating as a Nazi platform. My opinion of Musk didn't change after seeing his Nazi salute, I already knew he was a fascist supporting the fascist party. My only surprise was that he was already willing to say it louder for the people in the back that he's a Nazi.
It's so frustrating that people are so unwilling to call fascists fascists until they go completely mask off. Musk can exhibit every Nazi behavior and people keep using X no problem, but it's the fucking salute that gets them to finally block the platform.
So do people hate Nazis because of what they stand for? Or do they just hate the Nazi salute? Because by all available information it's the salute that might get someone in trouble, all the other behaviors get ignored or excused.
mask off, musk on
He’s financing AfD and has agreed with tweets that Jewish people are trying to dovide the white race. He’s as fascist as fascists can be.
I didn't think I was still capable of being shocked but the nazi salute at the president's podium did actually shock me a little. They fuckers are not even trying to pretend any more. I would hope that this shit makes people avoid musk-related products like they're a rabid rottweiler. I kinda feel bad for people who bought a Tesla years ago though. Also, spaceX has to be a national security issue now.

They're still trying to pretend:
Alternative explanations for the gesture are plausible. Musk is socially awkward, and he may have been stiffly trying to throw love to the crowd for helping put Trump back in office. “My heart goes out to you,” he said after he did the gesture a second time.
Rolling stone? That's disappointing. Yeah I've seen similar shit in the media. But I'm thinking if it acts like a nazi and looks like a nazi it is probably a fuckin nazi. it's pretty fuckin alarming, a lot of people died getting rid of them last time they gained power.
I see people trying to use the "but he has autism, he probably didn't understand what he was doing!" Except those are the same people that will turn around and yell at a regular person with autism and say "shut up, it's not an excuse!"
I've got autism and I'm not doing sieg heil even when I want to stop a taxi. Let alone on the main fuckin stage of the US with the world watching. Fuckin nazis back in power.
If Reddit gamers are calling someone else ‘hateful’ and ‘toxic,’ you know it’s got to be bad.
Yeah, I'm not usually someone who's anti-Reddit (in terms of the users, at least)...but the first sub I blocked was r/gaming, and the most negative users I ever interacted with were on r/AnimalCrossing and r/Nintendo.
I don’t understand how animal crossing players could be so negative lol
Lmao what happened? I only ever had good experiences on those subs but then again I haven’t used Reddit in a few years
...and what is Reddit?
Bad, but not nearly Twitter bad.
Reddit had communities dedicated to pedos and an incredibly toxic Trump community long before Twitter started getting a bad rep.
For sure...
But, IDK, i think modern Twitter is worse than modern reddit. That said i havnt been on reddit since the migration.
What is love?
Baby don't hurt me

They might be motivated by political views, fact checking, etc, but the subreddits I've seen discussing it (baseball, Iowa) are focusing on the fact that you need an account to see anything now. Screenshots from X would still be permitted; just not direct links due to the degree of interaction with the site required to view the material.
It's sound reasoning, in my opinion. X either links you to an actual source or is a short post easily captured in a screenshot.
r/republican is melting down over the removal/no more Twitter links thing
Really, what don't those people melt down over. They're reactionaries, they by essence have to melt down over everything.
Fuck em.

Rpcgaming is the biggest? Never heard of it
I do all my gaming through Remote Procedure Calls.
For when playing Nethack over telnet just has unacceptable protocol overhead, it's time to bust out some RPC.
Thank God it's not just me
I wonder how long till Reddit admins get pissy over blocking the nazi site.
I doubt they'll care, if only due to self-interest. Most of the corporate sites are trying to ban or deprioritize links because they don't want people to leave their site and stop viewing their ads.
