Steve is an Elon wannabe, he will just replace those mods and it'll be business as usual.

"Controversial salute" is interesting wording. They're clearly identifying it as the Nazi salute, but aren't outright saying it.
Nazi salute. Not controversial salute. Nazi salute.
Controversial nazi salute does seem to describe the situation most accurately, it's just the fact that it's controversial is bonkers.
Seen a bunch of them blocking links to any websites that require a login. Good for them.
"controversial salute" is certainly one way to phrase a Nazi salute.
I can't believe we're downplaying Nazi salutes. If this were in a political satire film 15 years ago it'd be dismissed as being too absurd.
Super pumped for 4 years (good lord please let it only be 4) of chickenshit euphemisms
The media already goosestepping to the new regime.
I mean, it’s Forbes. It’s essentially one of the primary mouthpieces of this new-age Business Plot we’re living through. I’m unsurprised they’re sanewashing this.
It's very disturbing because it's creeping acceptance by massaging the message over time.
First a billionaire makes the salute
Then you get everyone to debate it
Then everyone associates it less and less to nazism
Then it's just a gesture billionaires do
Then it's just a gesture
Then it becomes more common
Then it becomes normal
Its forbes. A rag I wouldn't wipe my ass with it.
If not for this, they'd certainly impose the block with another excuse. They just don't like Elon.
I'm surprised Reddit allowed anyone to ban X links since both sites are run by soulless corporate monsters
I'm sure once the press coverage starts to take hold and their venture capitalist overlords realize what's going on, they will crack down on the mods hard. Just like they did back in June/July of 2023. Little piggy boy will punish any rebellious mods and then grovel in mortification to his corporate masters.
I’m shocked that liar spez has any morale compass at this point. It is bizarre.
It’s an easy way for him to act like they let the subs run independently without it hurting their core business model.
That sounds a lot like when they did the reddit mural wall right after all this Spez shit started. It gave everyone an opportunity to scribble "fuck Spez" while still using the app and engaging with the site and probably making him even more money... The whole thing is just depressing that's why I try not to think about reddit anymore lol
Banned on r/NFL actually, which is shocking. That sub relies so heavily on Twitter news
Folks better stop sharing them here too
