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 104 points 1 week 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.

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 44 points 1 week 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 1 week 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

[–] OccamsRazer@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago

It's either the power mods or the admins who decide how content gets censored on reddit. Which one is worse?

[–] multiplewolves@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

He's going to buy reddit now. Lmao.

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

That’s right of coarse he can!

HHHMMM!

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.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 59 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] airportline@lemmy.ml 58 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Lemmy instances should follow suit.

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”

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago

I mean if you only saw and read Reddit during the last election campaign, you'd be ABSOLUTELY sure at the first half of the campaign that Biden was going to win, might as well don't have an election at that point

And then, after Kamala got into the campaign, again, if you only saw and read Reddit, you'd be, again, ABSOLUTELY sure that she would win, it wasn't even a contest.

If reality were downvotes, upvotes or massive bans to users posting against the thread zeitgeist, yeah sure, that would be what happened.

Hard to accept reality after that harsh wakeup call

As they mindlessly repeat whatever they just saw linked on "onlyrealpatriots.info.biz" from Facebook.

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 1 week 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 1 week 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.

In before reddit forces those subs to allow links to twitter.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Good idea. We should do this here.
