Waiting for Spez to weigh in with his typical subtlety and even-handedness... 🍿

THATS what spez looks like??? I was expecting some corporate looking lawyer type face. This is more like that incel who repulsed girls in high school, and is now in his 40s.....but still very much the same person.

Such a punchable face.

Don't forget that he used to be a moderator of r/jailbait

He's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at you it doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites you, and those black eyes roll over white.

And start banning mods who don’t support Musk and Nazism, wholeheartedly.

Remember last time Redditor's protested only to cave so they could keep being mods? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[–] Spezi@feddit.org 109 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I was the founder of r/TIHI in a past life and u/spez removed all of us moderators because we weren‘t opening the sub as part of our protest.

I them requested them to take down the subs title picture and logo which I created and they didn‘t even bother.

Yeah let’s see if they keep this up. In a few weeks they’ll cave in and say, “Well we want to keep people informed”.

why do they still show these kind of pictures of him. for me there is only one picture of him to show from now on

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 48 points 2 weeks ago

Oh yes for the totally unproblematic picture taken at the inauguration, and since it's so unproblematic he can't possibly have an issue with it being posted.

Although a solid second favorite is him in a punk leather jacket. Mostly because he hates it.

[–] downhomechunk@midwest.social 20 points 2 weeks ago

I would also accept the picture of him leaping 2" off the ground with both arms up and his belly showing.

Reddit users are about to get reminded that its not their platform to make rules

[–] multiplewolves@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

That was my guess as well, but so far, as reported to Ars Technica, they don’t intend to intervene

Can’t musk simply state that naziism is wrong and hitler was a very bad guy?

That’s right of coarse he can!

HHHMMM!

[–] parody@lemmings.world 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] airportline@lemmy.ml 60 points 2 weeks ago (8 children)

Lemmy instances should follow suit.

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet

Dbzer0 took a vote and will block it from their instance I believe

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.

[–] Aeri@lemmy.world 56 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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.

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”

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago

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.

Beware of this festering pile of excrement that is the conservative subreddit. Ready your sanity and eye bleach before venturing in

[–] skeezix@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

Kettle meet pot?

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.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Good idea. We should do this here.
