Reddit communities ban X links in response to Elon Musk's 'Nazi-style salute'
Share:
Dozens of Reddit communities have banned links to social network X following the inauguration of Donald Trump, during which Elon Musk made a controversial gesture which some have compared to a “Nazi-style salute”. Many of Reddit’s most popular subreddits are among those to have banned X links, including r/NBA (15 million), r/formula1 (4.8 million), r/nintendo (2.8 million), r/comics (2.8 million) and r/disneyland (1.2 million).
Some have put the question to their members, posting polls as to whether X links should be banned, while others have had the decision made by their moderation teams. More than 100 subreddits have made the move. Other large communities including r/dnd are currently holding polls or conversations about instating a ban.
Support for users is not solely rooted in the actions of X’s owner, but also in that the social network requires a login to see posts. "The radical leftists are really upset that they had to take time out of their busy day praising Hamas to call me a Nazi,” Musk tweeted, in response to accusations he made the Nazi gesture.
