Spez was a total musk fanboy during the early Twitter changes and said that he used him as an inspiration when changing Reddit's api, breaking all the decent phone clients. I don't doubt he'll do anything to join the big boys club.

If he does take it over, what will he name it, though? He already has X.com. ReddiX? Rexxit? ...Y.com?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

My money is on ReX. Fits with his whole juvenile theme and has the added bonus of making him feel like a classical king. Also rhymes with X.

eXit?

Ironic really lol

"I just got a lifetime ban from the 'comics' subreddit. Yesterday, I posted a humor comic that got over 5,400 upvotes. Then I noticed that there was a pinned post from the moderators saying that comics linked from X could no longer be shared because Musk gave a Nazi salute. I commented saying no he didn't. The moderator accused me of being pro-Nazi, banned me permanently for life, and deleted all my past posts from the 'comics' subreddit. But somehow Elon Musk is the totalitarian?"

LMAO, the mod that permanently banned this dude is amazing!

I love that this counts as totalitarian from their perspective (but nothing else)

"How can I live in a world where they delete my comments? I can accept any other form of suffering for minorities, but please, do not remove my comment πŸ₯Ί"

Hey Elon! Do it! You want to! You have the money!

Buy Reddit!

(It'd be the funniest damn thing.)

I would laugh so much at this

Spez is probably a centimillionaire, and Sam Altman supposedly has a 9% stake in Reddit. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.

Who knows what this pseudo-event is about, other than shoving oligarchs in my face again. Fuck all these fuckers.

centimillionaire

A hundredth of a million is $10,000.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millionaire#Multimillionaire

Individuals with net assets of 100 million or more of a currency are commonly termed centimillionaires, or more rarely hectomillionaires.

Nahh mate... They need all of us know that they own us.

Welcome one, welcome all πŸ‘

I've only been here for a couple of weeks. I got banned yet again from Reddit so fuck that site. And thanks for the welcome. Peace.

I've never been banned from Reddit. I left voluntarily. I'm always skeptical about people on Lemmy because they got kicked off of Reddit...lmao

So...what you in for? /memeReference

There was a clip of a 12 year old boy being purposely run over by a twat. I commented that if he had done that to any of my two boys he might get very hurt.

I got banned completely for threatening violence. I appealed because I didn't threaten anyone. No warning, not a 7 day ban or whatever.

Banned from a subreddit, or banned from the entire site?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

Banned from the entire site.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago

Their toilet flushes in an improper direction. Insta-ban anywhere, to be honest.
