Billionaire Tesla CEO and Trump ally Elon Musk allegedly pressured the CEO of social media platform Reddit to stifle users criticizing him or President Donald Trump, leaving platform moderators furious.
They exchanged messages just before the subreddit r/WhitePeopleofTwitter was given a temporary ban for 72 hours
It looks like this is the ex-redditor handshake thread. Did anyone start here without coming from Reddit? I heard about Lemme during the IPO fallout but didn’t pursue it until the mass shadow ban rollout.
I’m also still jumping back and forth, but that’s only because the big content creators for hobby stuff are still on Reddit. Once they migrate, I’ll likely delete my account.
I don’t think my comment history merits a mass edit. Anything particularly self identifying I had already scrubbed a while ago and much of my comment history has advocated for non-violent resistance.
I was shadowbanned because I said Trump was in poor health and more likely to die in office than be a dictator for the next decade. Offensive, sure, but not to the level I’d be afraid of becoming a political target.
You could mass edit your comment history to be the same comment you got banned for. That’s what I did to cope 🖕I got banned from 5 more subreddits over it, looking at the b.s. excuses brought me some closure. The comment was “Musk’s fumes are fatally toxic”. Instaban.

Mass edit your comments while you still can. I got halfway through my history before being blocked.

I mass edited my 10+ years of honestly pretty heavy commenting, not to protect myself, but to remove their utility to the reddit platform.
I’m here because I got shadowbannned for some unspecified reason.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure that just about everyone on Lemmy originally came from reddit.
