Musk’s gesture has received mixed reactions from politicians and academics, with some likening it to a Nazi salute and others saying it was an accidental action made in the heat of his victory speech.

    “Controversial salute” is interesting wording. They’re clearly identifying it as the Nazi salute, but aren’t outright saying it.

    Seen a bunch of them blocking links to any websites that require a login. Good for them.

    I’m surprised Reddit allowed anyone to ban X links since both sites are run by soulless corporate monsters

      I’m sure once the press coverage starts to take hold and their venture capitalist overlords realize what’s going on, they will crack down on the mods hard. Just like they did back in June/July of 2023. Little piggy boy will punish any rebellious mods and then grovel in mortification to his corporate masters.

        It’s an easy way for him to act like they let the subs run independently without it hurting their core business model.

          That sounds a lot like when they did the reddit mural wall right after all this Spez shit started. It gave everyone an opportunity to scribble “fuck Spez” while still using the app and engaging with the site and probably making him even more money… The whole thing is just depressing that’s why I try not to think about reddit anymore lol
