even without factoring the Nazi portion of twitter, it's just dogshit to link to on reddit. The change to require logging in to see anything made it a pain in the ass to read anything

maybe this will be seen as helpful revenue wise? as being twitter competition

but if not the people in charge might rather not get in trouble with Elon

Despite how awful Twitter has gotten under Musk's rule, I believe it's still necessary for people to keep an eye on it, since things posted there can have an impact on people as a whole. Kind of a "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" kind of thing.

Seems to be. Twitter links will be back within 2 weeks though.

The only solution is for people to delete their twitter accounts, but they won't.

Spez is a Musk-worshipper, so it makes sense.

Reddit will likely bow to Trump sooner or later as well.

Nah, subreddit mods are the ones that set the rules and they have an arbitrary amount of power. The actual admins very rarely get involved. If a sub bans Twitter,. expect it to stay gone for a while.

I feel like it'll be too hard to get Japanese game developers or mangaka to move from Twitter. They love twitter over there more than any other social media site and we probably can't get them to care enough about American politics. The Zatch Bell author for example was just blocking anyone bringing up American Politics without even responding recently.

Most of the subs I regular were already pretty strict on it ever since they started forcing logins to do anything meaningful. In the same way that links to instagram or facebook posts were useless. They can be used as part of a comment but not as a top level post.

The Hitler salute kinda changed stuff and several subs have this discussion at the top or near the top of their sub right now.

Yea. It seems to a lesser extent these Twitter ban threads have people saying Instagram should be next due to Zuckerberg recent interviews. And the third is to ban YouTube since their CEO was at the inauguration.

I think the links being unusable to non Twitter users is reason enough to ban the links, even before Musk showed he's a Nazi sympathizer.

Even beyond the evils of Elon Musk, r/nfl was essentially just becoming a tweet aggregator and most of the things getting posted were coming from bot accounts that e.g. automatically would put up any Adam Schefter tweet that he made and that sort of thing.

Well, there wasn't much else they could have done. It was either stop the blackout or the admins just replace them and do whatever they want anyway.

In fairness, F1 has its own controversies but isn't super political. There are a lot of household names that are German (Schumacher, Vettel, Rosberg as an example).

However an African-American using a **** salute is obviously something that the majority of Europe rejects.

It might work well in one country, but I assume there'll be a fair amount of "nah, fuck this" from the EEZ.

I'm in the military, seeing the absolute disdain and outrage for Trump's shit policies from other military people there this morning was extremely satisfactory and lifted my spirits a little.

I love the post about it there, too. The Post Title is just a statement that the links have been banned. The text is just "Fuck that guy".
