Elon Musk Takes Aim at Reddit
“This is insane,” Musk responded.
Yep, totally taking aim at Reddit. Definitely not clickbait.
I have no doubt Spez will be thrilled to help further enshitify reddit.
Spez would be thrilled to sell it, I’m sure.
🎶 Elon Musk can suck my dick, suck my dick, suck my dick. Elon Musk can suck my dick, all the blah blah blah… 🎶
it won’t be long before the piggy little fuckboy starts sucking on musk’s nipple and issue some sort of ban to that movement. god it’s good to be off that site
YES? Buy reddit! The death of reddit is only a good thing.
The death of any public platform is a bad thing, even that flawed as Reddit
They came after redditors
redditors
one X user claimed the website was “anti-free speech” after he said he was banned from the “comics” subreddit for denying that the tech mogul did a Nazi salute
That sounds like pro truth rather than “anti free speech”, no?
Reddit’s about to get shittier. Again. Either they’ll kowtow to Musk and make it against the rules to ban X links or they’ll give some bland, noncommital, centrist statement about how they respect the hard work their mods put in to keep Reddit going or whatever. I really doubt they’ll make any unequivocal statement condemning Musk as the neo-Nazi shitbag he is.
The second reddit pulls some pro-Elon conservative bullshit, expect Lemmy to be FLOODED.
Reddit is a liberal haven and there will be a mass exodus if they toe the President Musk line.
hopefully not just lemmy.world cause
- terrible for lemmy
- terrible for them
If the API price-gouging scandal didn’t bring them all over already, then you might be surprised just how many continue to hang on there, even after this one. And the next one. And the next.
It’s just how people are. We don’t want to change.
It will bring some people over. But I doubt there will be a flood.
The API and pricing bullshit would have had 0 impact to people that (somehow manage to) us the Reddit app.
It affected power users, mods and technically proficient people.If communities have agreed to take a stance against musk/twitter/Nazis and Reddit overruled that, then I imagine an exodus of people that the API debacle didn’t affect.
But I don’t imagine it will be huge. Luckily, it will likely be decent people. So Reddit will slip more into a cesspool. And maybe more people will leave
Not just proficient users, but old users. 3rd party apps were all Reddit had, at first (besides the site itself, of course). The official app was the newcomer to the apps scene.
I came over to Lemmy during the API pricing thing. I’ve never used a smartphone app (official or otherwise) to access Reddit. Just
old.reddit.comvia a browser on a clicky-typey computer. I quit Reddit out of solidarity. And because it was clear Reddit was getting shittier in every way.Same story for me. I never used the mobile apps or modded any community, I just don’t want to contribute to a site that’s hostile to the creators and users that made it successful in the first place. I imagine there are a lot of ordinary users like us that came here for the same reasons.
Great timing for me to have deleted my account haha
Me too
Same as me, lol
With how active r/fednews has been, no surprise
