I saw it from the monster hunter community, now you can't post the source of a fanart lol.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Might get more artists to move to Bluesky at least

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 week ago

You can always leave their @handle if you want to credit them.

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

And start banning mods who don’t support Musk and Nazism, wholeheartedly.

Remember last time Redditor's protested only to cave so they could keep being mods? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[–] psoul@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

I remember and that’s why I’m here reading your comment 🫡

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] Spezi@feddit.org 107 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I was the founder of r/TIHI in a past life and u/spez removed all of us moderators because we weren‘t opening the sub as part of our protest.

I them requested them to take down the subs title picture and logo which I created and they didn‘t even bother.

Better to have you here mate.

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

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 46 points 1 week ago

Oh yes for the totally unproblematic picture taken at the inauguration, and since it's so unproblematic he can't possibly have an issue with it being posted.

Although a solid second favorite is him in a punk leather jacket. Mostly because he hates it.

Reddit users are about to get reminded that its not their platform to make rules

[–] multiplewolves@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That was my guess as well, but so far, as reported to Ars Technica, they don’t intend to intervene

He's going to buy reddit now. Lmao.

[–] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Can’t musk simply state that naziism is wrong and hitler was a very bad guy?

That’s right of coarse he can!

HHHMMM!

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.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 60 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] airportline@lemmy.ml 59 points 1 week ago (10 children)

Lemmy instances should follow suit.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 days ago

I've thought that since they started locking almost everything behind a login

Twitter probably benefits from people being redirected to their site from repostings with how it has become the go to source for news like sports, so it might. Won't hurt Elon financially but less people being exposed to the content there that Elon wants to push that don't actively use Twitter is a good thing even if it is only a few.

Even small moves is a good thing with how over the years sports and game submissions have become increasingly more Twitter submissions.

Liberals are just sheep. They believe whatever the media tells them.

That projection.

My first reaction when seeing the salute was ” oh come on, it can’t be that bad… oh it’s way worse than I thought”

https://www.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/1i74b2h/due_to_recent_events_we_will_continue_allowing/

Beware of this festering pile of excrement that is the conservative subreddit. Ready your sanity and eye bleach before venturing in

[–] skeezix@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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.
