If Reddit gamers are calling someone else ‘hateful’ and ‘toxic,’ you know it’s got to be bad.
Yeah, I’m not usually someone who’s anti-Reddit (in terms of the users, at least)…but the first sub I blocked was r/gaming, and the most negative users I ever interacted with were on r/AnimalCrossing and r/Nintendo.
I don’t understand how animal crossing players could be so negative lol
They might be motivated by political views, fact checking, etc, but the subreddits I’ve seen discussing it (baseball, Iowa) are focusing on the fact that you need an account to see anything now. Screenshots from X would still be permitted; just not direct links due to the degree of interaction with the site required to view the material.
It’s sound reasoning, in my opinion. X either links you to an actual source or is a short post easily captured in a screenshot.
It’s not totally insane reasoning but, like, people can just downvote links to Twitter if they want to, and/or use an extension to automatically redirect to a Nitter instance. The only people actually affected by censoring Twitter community-wide is those who would want to look at the context.
Or those who don’t want to see it but aren’t technical or motivated enough to fix it themselves
I think it’s way worse to keep information from someone who wants to see it, than to let it be seen by someone who would prefer not to see it but isn’t motivated enough to do something about it. Sort of by construction, actually - if the latter category really didn’t want to see Twitter links, they would have done it themselves.
They’ll block x for a week and will go right back to using it.
Yeah, if they were serious about this kind of thing, they wouldn’t be on Reddit anymore in the first place.
I wonder how long till Reddit admins get pissy over blocking the nazi site.
Huffman is just another american technology oligarch. It is in his interest to spread corruption and undermine rule of law.
Are you joking about him being a robot or what?
Missed the word “oligarch”. 😆
Spez was complimenting Twitter, so its not out of the question.
Inb4 even more “fuck u/spez” spam happens.

They really take the PoE cheating seriously.
What’s PoE? Other than Power over Ethernet, of course.
Elon did a live stream playing the new Path of Exile game. His character was one of the top 20 ranked in the game. He has bragged about being the best on several games. Anyway, it was obvious to everyone watching that he knew very little about how the game actually worked. He finally confessed this week that he pays other people play the character for him, but also claimed that all the top players do it.
Oh, right. Yeah, I saw that video, he (allegedly) didn’t know the basics of map navigation and wouldn’t pickup good drops.
The part that got me the most was when he was complaining about his gear (some of the very best gear in the game) “this helmet is only level 52, even though I’m level 96”. Those were equip levels, not power levels… One of his items he dismissed as not good was the one you get from the final boss. There’s no room for “allegedly” with that part.
I only put it there because I personally am not very familiar with PoE.
I’m willing to believe that some of the top players might do it, but how many of them brag to the public about how highly they’re ranked and how good they are at the game while barely knowing how to play it?
Let’s be real, who’s good enough at the game to be able to rank someone else’s account up to the top levels without themselves being at the top levels?
Path of Exile?
Yeah, thanks.
He targeted gamers!
Ah, the landed gentry is overstepping their boundaries again.
Good.
It’s the pot calling the kettle black.
