    A more fractured internet is coming. Posting sources will be forbidden. Discourse will become more polarized, disconnected, and extreme.

    Most of these Reddit bans on Twitter are also half assed. They still allow screenshots of Twitter posts. That means the content is still spread, and Twitter remains relevant.

    Lots of these subreddits don’t even get a lot of Twitter links in the first place. Like for lotrmemes it makes zero difference.

    That said, Musk and Twitter suck. I have deleted my Twitter account three years ago.

    However there still is some information, where Twitter is a good source.

      If we like it or not, twitter is still the most important social network for journalisst and thinktankers.

    Remember last time Redditor’s protested only to cave so they could keep being mods? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

      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.

    Fucking preformative liberals, instead of attacking the systems of exploitation that harm the community they virtue signal for they focus on the temporarily manufactured villains.

      So… what?

      In your ideal world nazi sites wouldn’t be blocked?

      What are you even arguing here?

      There is no world in which refusing to use a site run by a nazi is a bad thing.

        I’m arguing liberals have the memory of a goldfish and will forget it the next time something else comes up. This is #resist 2.0, purely performative.

          Got it, there’s no point in ever fighting them since we might not fight them at some unspecified point in the future, we should just all welcome and embrace Nazis. Thanks for letting us know how to move forward.

            They are not fighting anything, if they were they would have fought it from the beginning instead of accepting small doses of fascism.

              Got it, everyone just give up and walk willingly into the camps. Thanks for letting us know how to move forward.

                We are currently living in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World where even the mention of breaking free from the chains is met with resistance. Liberals would rather dose their Soma than allow meaningful change to happen.

                  Yes, we already established that you think everyone should give up and walk willingly into the camps. Where do we meet you?

          Still better than nothing. I don’t see how complaining about a good thing gets us anywhere. And also it screams bad mental health. You ok, bro?

    Here on Lemmy, people who claim to advocate for freedom of speech and information, demanding for information shared on social networks to be controlled, shutdown and people to be censored based on unknown and ambiguous criteria, without even understanding the implications of it.
