    The subreddits I still read (because they don’t have the population on Lemmy) have done this. Some had already done it by coincidence.

    I’ve always hated Twitter links (I always preferred screenshots), but it got worse after Musk took over and locked everything behind accounts and phone numbers, lol

    From TFA:

    Elon Musk made a hand gesture Monday that many people said resembled a Nazi salute

    Good grief… What is it with ALL media outlets tiptoeing around this?

    Elon Musk made a fucking Nazi salute. Plain and simple. Just say it like it is already. Whether he didn’t realize or he was overexcited and made a genuine mistake doesn’t matter: it was factually a fucking Nazi salute.

    Nobody can’t possibly be sued for defamation over this: it’s factually true! Are they so afraid to be on the first trains when the concentration camps open?

      At this point, I suspect they’re all either owned by oligarchs protecting one of their own, or afraid of President Musk having an executive order created to designate them a terrorist organization.

        It is a real threat.

        Maybe we should all start an online rag that re-words the articles to remove the fear in their voices.

    In the past we had communists to shoot Nazis, nowadays we make protests by boycotting social media links. That way their victory is inevitable

      To be fair, a lot more than the communists were shooting Nazis.

      Nowadays, the communists seem to be helping the Nazis.
