Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report.

I'd argue Lemmy and other decentralized platforms are the last bastion for free speech instead of Reddit though.
Lemmy is kind of forced to be, too.
Horrific speech can be removed from the site. But if you want to see it, the admin logs are open to the public. Other instances also aren't forced to play along with the views of one instance. And each instance can choose whether they want to connect with others.
So you could create your own Christian Nationalist and White Supremacist Lemmy. But our instances don't have to federate with it. And if they choose to do so, we can leave for a different one or the users can block it entirely.
Lemmy lets anyone have a platform and, simultaneously, it doesn't force anyone to listen to you just because you have your own platform. Basically, everything that makes Lemmy a decentralized platform also makes it good for moderation without harming free speech.
That applies for PeerTube, Matrix, Pixelfed, and Mastodon as well.

Same. Joined at the Digg migration. Left at the 3rd party App-ocolypse. Reddit is dead. Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that it's a zombie: with more bots than actual human users, it's the Dead Internet Theory in action.
Exactly the two events that got me on and off Reddit.

There has been unwarranted censorship at a scale I've never seen on Reddit
I thought it was the last bastion of free speechWhile actual hate speech and seriously harmful content goes completely unchecked
It is unfortunate
Steve Bannon isnt welcome on Colorado. Phil Long Auditorium shouldnt host nazis.
I was banned for saying as much from Fucking Reddit of all places
Pointing out that there have been fires at dealerships lately does not equate to harrasment
Phil Long Auditorium should not host the Rally period.
Their casual attitude towards white supremacy is unacceptable and while i dont believe they should necessarily be burnt to the ground, there are better places to buy automobiles
They deserve to be boycotted
And i will punch a nazi mod in the face 100% of the timeEdit: UPDATE
2 PROTESTORS WERE RAN OVER BY TWO DIFFERENT HATE RALLY ATTENDEE"S CARS !!!
NAZIS ARE VIOLENT PIECES OF SHITTold you so r/Coloradosprings
Fuck yall
No media/communication company supports your expression of your rights.

Reddit died June 2023
I don't know why people are still playing with the corpse
Because they have a monopoly on old and especially niche knowledge/communities (also new niche knowledge/communities). As much as I hate it, that's why I personally still have to use reddit sometimes.

This is a myth. We're out of addresses and now most DHCP rules are locked.

I’m old enough to remember when Elon released “the twitter files” in an attempt to demonstrate how the federal government supposedly exerted egregious pressure on private media in violation of first amendment right.
Fucking hell I didn't know that! He just believes what suits him

It's kinda sad really. It's been part of your life for so long

Was about 17 years.
The Russians are astroturfing hard, doing everything to justify their invasion and banning anyone who disagrees.
No point anymore.
That's the terrifying thing about it... we're being horribly influenced

I get that Musk is doing all types of tropes. But... what is the source for this newspaper I never heard about before? Is there any evidence for these pressures beyond "Trust me bro, we are the Latin times"?
I also deleted my reddit account. What is happening in that sub?

No, the terrifying part is that we're letting it happen without getting angry, much less fighting back.

For anyone who doesn't know: this is a clever reference to the myth of Midas' Touch that I'm totally stealing.
Oh I can definitely not claim it either. Someone said it ages ago, and I stole it.

Jan 16, 2008. Got me beat by a bit. Beat you to Lemmy though, so I guess I've got that going for me.
We have to take solace where we can
