Beware of this festering pile of excrement that is the conservative subreddit. Ready your sanity and eye bleach before venturing in

Holy shit. I made the mistake of looking in there. What a festering pile of misinformed louts. There’s not a brain cell to be found in there.

Or, apparently, introspectiveness...

Liberals are just sheep. They believe whatever the media tells them. They think they don't need to believe anything other than the media tells them. One of the things the media tells them is they are superior to others, and it gets into their heads.

Kettle meet pot?

What’s “X”? Is that p0rn or something?

Yeah that'll show him. I'm sure he's gonna lose a ton of sleep over the miniscule amount of traffic that's going to drop for his shitty website that he bought and drove into the ground.

Wait actually he cares way too much about how people view him so it might actually bother him a ton. It's hard to say really.

Either way stop using Twitter and reddit. Both terrible.

If this is what it took they were just lazy before. This has been CLEARLY where he is pushing things for a long time now. Twitter is in the Xhitter.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Good idea. We should do this here.

Kinda wild to me it took this long but I'm not going to be mad about doing the right thing.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 14 points 4 days ago

I wonder how long their corporate overlords will allow this to continue.

Most of the X links on Reddit just point to non-X content anyway, and are used by Reddit posters to circumvent subreddit policies on excluding dodgy sources. In other words they were using X as a shitty URL shortener.
