In the fallout of Elon Musk’s baffling appearance during President Donald Trump’s inauguration, a curious new front in the ongoing online culture war has emerged: a push by Reddit sports mods and users to ban links to X (formerly known as Twitter).
And it’s not just sports subreddits, too.
On reddit, FFS.
“We can’t let those Nazis contaminate OUR Nazis!”
You know, I’m ok with it. It’s the (ostensibly unpaid) mods, not the admins.
Anybody drawing lines in the sand that impact Nazis negatively, is not “a bad guy” today.
Even America teamed up with the Communists to fight Nazis.
I agree with Botzo on this one. These are mods of some of the largest and most active communities on Reddit. They’re just doing what they can to keep the lights on.
Or… just don’t perform unpaid labor for capital.
