Billionaire Elon Musk, the world’s richest man who purchased the social media platform Twitter and renamed it X, is “all in” on Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, The New York Times reports. X has “reportedly worked with Donald Trump’s campaign to censor material that could be harmful to the form...
That’s pretty crazy. Do you have examples of Reddit admins directly working with Democrat campaigns or politicians to remove content? I don’t think Hunter Biden’s dick pics count, as revenge porn is already illegal.
I’m confused, what Democrat politicians or campaign staff coordinated removing those communities from Reddit? And why would Democrats even need to? Those communities broke sitewide rules egregiously and frequently. Considering how long they were allowed to keep going, it seems more likely (though I’m sure not the actual case) that Donald Trump’s campaign coordinated with Reddit admins to keep The_Donald open.
The first thing Musk did when he took over is un-ban many of those people. He’s since repeatedly banned progressive journalists, added the word “cis” to the hate speech filters, and made numerous other changes to the way the site operates to boost those voices and suppress opposing ones.
He’s not the only one to blame, to be sure, but if you think he hasn’t been spearheading the effort, you haven’t been paying attention. He’s been backing them and a whole lot more.
Trumptards took over Clubhouse without the backing from the CEO. It’s a collective strategy, and not one man’s bigotry

The difference is that a community of people is downvoting and upvoting content. It’s not one person controlling what you see.
Too much nuance for a ‘both sides’ person
But also one man’s bigotry letting the place become a massive cesspool beyond the cesspool it already was.

Fuck Musk, but he doesn’t deserve all the attention he’s given.
I mean, no, he doesn’t, but he was getting that attention long before he became openly fascist. And that makes him a huge problem now that he is.
