I did see a sub called fullmoviesonyoutube or something where a mod soloed the ban. Pretty amusing to read the user comments in that one

If you are implying that the ignorant or unwilling should be forced participants in a protest, I would strongly disagree with that statement. I also am seeing a lot of rhetoric that not participating or simply not agreeing with a ban implies you are either a supporter of musk or Nazism... This sort of line in the sand statements are counterproductive, inflammatory, divisive and frankly ignorant.
There is no risk on reddit with such a protest considering the political lean. I don't use twitter because I personally I hate the way conversations and 'information' is structured as well as the content. I don't also don't have an issue with subs/admins or even the whole platform banning twitter. What I do have are serious concerns about the mechanisms behind the ban and the further echo chambering of the site. To me, it's better to have non quality info/sources available and downvote it than to just ban it.

I feels like bizarro world if you fall somewhere in the middle of the political spectrum or don't really care about politics. Seems their are only two extremes and you have to drink the cool-aid of whatever site you're on or be suppressed. Whether you agree or disagree the push to ban twitter/x from all the sports subs was definitely a coordinated operation. Very troubling to me to see this kind of mass manipulation going on... these sports subs should have nothing to do with politics but maybe I'm the delusional one. I don't know.
It's so typical to see 90% good argument and 10% insult the OP & half the country. If believers stuck to the 90% good argument and left out the insults you'd win a lot of followers.
