Can’t musk simply state that naziism is wrong and hitler was a very bad guy?
That’s right of coarse he can!
HHHMMM!
Why?!
Le epic 14 y/o troll mAStEr mOvE was doing the worst nonverbal political thing one can do and getting away with it without apologizing.
The centrists accept it might have been inadvertent. He'd never have the lefties anyway and the far right will, of course, absolutely love it. It's the kind of thing a kid in shoes of power might dream up and run by the team and all have fits of laughter: “they can't prove anything if you don't say anything!”

Nice way to commemorate the Jan 6ers’ prison release. And great distraction, as it must be.

That would be good for Lemmy.
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.
Lemmy instances should follow suit.
I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet
Dbzer0 took a vote and will block it from their instance I believe
I just added it as a rule for the communities I moderate. I also set my Bluesky feeds to filter out X links.

Some Lemmy communities already have.
I’ve seen that the Playstation and Nintendo communities have both banned it recently.
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.

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...

Those are rookie numbers!
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”

As they mindlessly repeat whatever they just saw linked on "onlyrealpatriots.info.biz" from Facebook.
I laughed when he did it twice as if just to emphasize the first one wasn't a mistake.
Supports far right movement in Germany, says they are the only way to fix Germany.
Agrees with Jewish people being anti white- "“Jewish communties [sic] have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.”
The billionaire owner and CTO of X, formerly Twitter, responded the same evening: “You have said the actual truth.”"
Does NAZI salutes on a national platform.

Yeah, fuck Reddit. They are part of the problem.
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.

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.

In before reddit forces those subs to allow links to twitter.
Kinda wild to me it took this long but I'm not going to be mad about doing the right thing.
I wonder how long their corporate overlords will allow this to continue.
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.
