Hundreds of Subreddits Are Considering Banning All Links to X
www.404media.co
Dozens of big subreddits have already banned all Twitter links, and posts about potential bans are some of the most popular on the site.

Summary

Hundreds of subreddits are debating banning links to X.com (formerly Twitter) following Elon Musk’s Nazi salute at a Trump rally.

Dozens of subreddit moderators have already implemented bans, while others are holding votes among their communities.

The bans span political, regional, and topical subreddits, including r/NewJersey, r/londonOntario, and r/christianity, with some highlighting Musk’s gesture alongside neo-Nazi imagery.

This move reflects growing backlash against Musk and his platform over perceived alignment with extremist symbolism.

        Are any Lemmy instances banning x links? I haven’t heard of it, but would be in favor of it.

          We’re currently conducting a vote on dbzer0 for it via a pinned post.

          Last I checked the count was overwhelmingly for banning links to X.

        LMAO well said. It sucks that we really don’t have a decent alternative to reddit. I miss my niche subs.

        Digg should have never released V4. It was reddit’s only competition, but now it’s a soulless, corporate curated media platform. You can’t even comment anymore.
