Anti Fascist and Anti Elon Free Speech Being Censored
Hello! Migrated over to Lemmy. I've noticed in the past few weeks a lot of posts/comments about protests, criticizing Nazis and Elon being censored/removed. This was all magnified in the past few hours as /r/whitepeopletwitter was banned tonight to satisfy fElon.
Why are people still using Xitter? jesus. Move on to mastadon or bluesky or anything other than this insane nazi's personal media platform.
Why are white people still using it? I do Nazi any reason.
Holy shit! Is there no limit to this fucker's reach? Money really does buy everything.
When power and tools are given to a central authority to dictate what communication, expression and thought is "prohibited", for essentially any reason, it is only a matter of time before that is abused.
honestly even knowing reddit's antics i was shocked by this too.
Welcome.
We have !whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works which you might like.
Why is this racially segregated?
BPT and WPT is not a form of segregation. It reflects the creation of distinct online spaces catering to different cultural expressions and humor.
Another reason to leave Reddit.
The only surprising part of this is that it's for posts about doge employees and not banning Twitter links
Tell them to come to Lemmy ¯(ツ)/¯
Can't remember the last time I saw srd lock a post that wasn't then deleted
if I wasn't a mod of a subreddit I'd consider deleting it entirely. definitely going to limit my use permanently after reading this, Fuck Elon.
I left my subreddit of 10 million users behind when it became apparent that spez isnt better than musk.
Get a grip.
no
You should become a mod of a Lemmy community instead
To be fair, last time I visited it I found some dumb posts and content (the subreddit name being one of the reasons), but it seems like it was pretty appreciated
PS: Fuck Musk
There were a lot of highly upvoted actual death threads on the sub. I hate Elon Musk as much as anyone on this websites but if you have a bunch of posts with thousands of upvotes calling for mass murder, it's obvious what's going to happen.
Fuck elon, but also good riddance.
My thoughts exactly.
