Summary
Elon Musk privately pressured Reddit CEO Steve Huffman to address content moderation after publicly criticizing Reddit on X for banning links and allegedly hosting violent content.
Shortly after Musk’s messages, Reddit imposed a 72-hour ban on the “WhitePeopleTwitter” subreddit, citing violent content, and deleted a thread Musk highlighted.
Reddit denies external influence but acknowledges evaluating reports seriously.
The controversy stirred discussions among Reddit moderators, some mocking Musk as a “giant baby.” Musk has not commented on the situation.
US Tech need to start relocating. I emailed Warp Shell creators advising I’d reluctantly cancelled my subscription to their actually excellent product; because funding the US economy had become ‘morally incompatible with my workflow’. Hope others can do similar.
Why would they, most of US tech is in on the dystopian dream
A lot of US companies have been happy to relocate to Ireland and enjoy the tax breaks. No reason not to continue, I’d say.
