Warning: Elon Musk now has Huffman bending the knee. Whitepeopletwitter, iselondeadyet and loads of other Elon critical subs have been banned or suspended.

Just a warning, Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech, it is compromised.

      Was that even a sub critical of Elon? I haven’t been on Reddit since the API migration, but I remember that sub just being a joke response to BlackPeopleTwitter, which mostly just reposted funny tweets.

        It’s effectively “Liberal people twitter” with all posts being about politics, especially discussing Musk and Trump. I think it changed around the Covid lockdowns.

        Several individuals on that sub were making death threats towards individuals in government. The mods either supported or ignored them, so a temp ban needed to be put in place.

      Ironically most of those 3 million are the “right” color to them. Can’t take the heat once you start burning down the kitchen I guess.

      It’s not when they were calling for interns of government agencies death. What’s scary is no one here is looking for context.

          You are not asking in good faith given you chose to address the victims as “elons minions” and not as real people.

            I can think they are his minions who are helping him carry out a coup and still condem death threat against them. Why does everything have to be black and white these days?

            Anyhow, you are not obligated to answer me. I’ll read into it or won’t, untill then I just won’t have any opinion on this matter.

            Edit: And you can be somebody’s minion (as in tool used to aquire your goals) and still be a human. I don’t see that as mutually exclusive.

              Plenty of people in this comment section aren’t condemning death threats and are advocating to kill them.

              Biases are subtle and the way you address those mentioned leads me to believe you’d completely ignore any information given. Your hesitation to self-inform does the same. Have a nice one.
