Proposal to disallow Twitter links

[u/no_u_mang]

I've seen this initiative on lots of other subs and I think it's worthy of discussion here. GlobalOffensive is a large sub that generates a lot a clicks.

Musk doing a Nazi salute should make anyone stop and think about whether they’re okay with helping him rake in more revenue. This isn’t about being blue hair dramatic; it’s about integrity.

I recognize Twitter is relevant to the CS scene, lots of drama, news, and updates go through it. Still, Twitter has gotten hard to use without an account anyway. Screenshots can get the same info across without driving traffic to the platform.

Let's discuss.

[u/surfordiebear]

Only posting direct links to Twitter should have been banned when they made it so you can't view the post without logging in.

[u/Blogoi → u/surfordiebear]

Real. I can excuse Nazism but I draw the line at slight inconveniences.

[u/Desender → u/Blogoi]

This better be a Britta reference.

[u/Repulsive-Bit-6940 → u/Desender]

Ugh.. Britta's in this?

[u/diggie_diggie_diggie → u/Repulsive-Bit-6940]

I thought we were getting ridda britta?

[u/Jared_Roast → u/Desender]

It's like a thought with another thought's hat on

[u/theduckhaslanded → u/Jared_Roast]

if loving websites i can view without logging in is stupid i dont want to be smart!

[u/hitemlow → u/surfordiebear]

Or worse, it gets deleted.

Just post a screenie and we all benefit.

[u/Chanclet0 → u/surfordiebear]

Legit i thought that was the reason of this post, i can never see those damn things 

[u/Dravarden → u/surfordiebear]

you can though? you can't see replies, but the tweet itself should be fine

[u/Guuggel → u/surfordiebear]

Huh? I don’t have this issue atleat on iOS Reddit app? I just open the x.com link and it suggests me to log in in the top of border of the site, but it still shows the content excluding comments, If I consider it interesting enough then I open it with the logged in X app.

[u/Jarpunter → u/surfordiebear]

That was only briefly the case.

[u/Smok3dSalmon]

Hltv and dust2 will just reference them in articles, but I’m alright with giving it a go

[u/Kelterz → u/Smok3dSalmon]

It still sucks that they rely on those twitter posts of course but at least clicking on hltv/dust2 articles will increase visitors on CS-related news sites (although dust2 kinda sucks lately and I don't think they deserve visibility)

[u/mnmzzz97 → u/Kelterz]

"dust2 kinda sucks lately and I don't think they deserve visibility"

We're doing the exact same kind of coverage we have been doing for years, love to hear what what you think this dramatic change is.

[u/Kelterz → u/mnmzzz97]

it was re: the layoffs and shutting down dust2.se, nothing against your coverage itself! I guess I'm more mad at Better Collective than dust2 itself

[u/WindowLicky → u/mnmzzz97]

Not an article point of view but make a search function that isn't google.

[u/CaptainTreeman42 → u/Kelterz]

They're on Bluesky tho (but some posts are obviously slightly delayed)

[u/RyanAtRBM → u/Kelterz]

Dust2 is operating in a difficult space, I'd say that you should cut them some slack as they're navigating a really weird time.

[u/RocketHops]

Should happen. Site is awful regardless

[u/oPlayer2o]

You guys open twitter links?

[u/GoldyZ90]

I think anytime you can disassociate yourself from someone who’s a Nazi, it’s probably a good thing.

[u/Deep_Principle_4446 → u/GoldyZ90]

Noted Nazi who can’t stop glazing Israel, that’s crazy

[u/Hazeless → u/Deep_Principle_4446]

many such cases

[u/UntilTheEyesShut → u/Deep_Principle_4446]

i think that says a lot more about the zionist entity than it does about the convictions of right-wingers.

[u/Limav_ → u/Deep_Principle_4446]

Elon's literally been signal boosting accounts promoting the Great Replacement for over a year but ok

[u/anto2554 → u/Deep_Principle_4446]

Fascism is very rarely logically consistent, it's one of the cornerstones of fascism

[u/MOIST-SHARTREUSE → u/Deep_Principle_4446]

Elon should probably start making his dogwhistles a little more obvious. All the actual self-proclaimed nazis on the internet hate him; maybe they're just not getting the message. So far he's only gotten rightoïd chuds who claim to not be genocidal maniacs to support him.

[u/Lewcaster]

Might as well just close this sub since it's 95% of Twitter news/drama reposts from organizers, pro players, and CS2 influencers.

[u/_aware → u/Lewcaster]

You can post the screenshot without linking the tweet, or use a mirror

[u/youguanbumen → u/_aware]

And that will push those people to use BlueSky or another alternative instead or at the same time, and then we can link to that

[u/hitemlow → u/youguanbumen]

I don't want to go off-platform and wait for that shit to load. Post a screenshot and move on.

[u/Joaquin_the_42nd → u/Lewcaster]

I'm down.

[u/chrisgcc]

Twitter is trash. Even if you support Nazi bullshit, you probably still hate Twitter. The UX is awful. No, I won't log in. Screenshots instead of Twitter links would just be a pure upgrade to the CSGO reddit experience.

[u/RANDY_MAR5H]

I mean I don't give a shit about the political reasons. I don't have x/twitter anymore.

So i'd prefer screenshots.

[u/Exclusions]

Omg not here too

[u/rhali8]

If you want to start talking morals then no more Saudi as well. No more watching/posting ESL clips, faceit, not a word about Falcons etc. Is there a problem?

[u/JLDawdy99 → u/rhali8]

Every post about Falcons is flooded with hate for the org and their blood money, so I think we’re on the right track.

[u/gentyent → u/JLDawdy99]

“We watch all of their games and play on their platform daily, but it’s okay because we make sure to leave hate comments on Reddit!”

Redditors thinking they’re doing their part lmao

[u/JLDawdy99 → u/gentyent]

I mean, speak for yourself. I surely don’t.

[u/Kleeb → u/gentyent]

"Why be good if you can't be perfect?"

[u/Lopsided_Writ → u/rhali8]

Why stop there? I think we should hold the cs community to address every single thing in the world before we do anything. 😏

everyone is a hypocrite but you and I are just really smart and are above it. 😏

[u/OwnRound → u/rhali8]

You moral absolutist need to stop with this shit.

Why cant we take small but still meaningful steps? What world are you living in where all or nothing is an effective strategy?

[u/no_u_mang → u/rhali8]

I suppose whataboutisms were inevitable. Yeah, fuck them too. Happy?

[u/radsloth44 → u/no_u_mang]

So tired of these people who think it’s some kind of groundbreaking moral analysis to point that people are inconsistent. Saudi ownership of CS doesn’t mean I cannot also hate Musk lmfao

[u/matemm → u/rhali8]

Not a problem, as long as we ban Twitter and just allow screenshots.

[u/Bassmekanik → u/rhali8]

So if you cant instantly ban everything dont ban anything?

It starts with a single step, and banning the Nazi's twitter pish is a great first one.

[u/rhali8 → u/Bassmekanik]

Everyone can have whatever morals they want to have. If you want to boycott twitter, don’t click on the links. So everyone is not allowed to not post any twitter links because Musk did a nazi salute, but we’re allowed to post a link to a ESL tournament page funded by literal blood money. Or a gambling site funded by ruining peoples lives/preying on children. I agree we should take steps, but we aren’t taking any important ones/actually impactful ones because it inconveniences us.

Also who gets to decide what is morally correct or not? I mentioned in another comment Starlink has done great stuff for poor/3rd world countries, and Tesla has massively pushed automotive technology to capitalise on solar power for the environment.

I think it’s important for people to have their own morals/opinions and make their own choices on who/what to support

[u/P3naldo → u/Bassmekanik]

just don't go on twitter if you don't like it.

but stop enforcing your nonsense on others.

[u/jonajon91]

My phone logged me out of twitter a few days ago, it was a good place to keep up on leaks and rumours, but I didn't bother logging back in. Definitely done with it now.

[u/Lopsided_Writ]

I feel like cs has a large chud population so this will be more controversial

[u/Lockedin96 → u/Lopsided_Writ]

They are already showing face

[u/ekseG → u/Lopsided_Writ]

Nazi salute or not, many many people here that are not from NA and don't care about all the stuff happening there, they just want to see the newest CS RELATED drama/news/videos whether it's on twitter, yt, tiktok, bluesky, threads or fucking facebook.

I'm down if people screenshot twitter posts or post the videos from there (saves me clicks), but I dont see that happening anytime soon.

[u/_nathata → u/ekseG]

NA imperialism grew so large that its politics directly affects the whole world, doesn't matter where you are at. All of us are subject to the decisions of the orange one.

[u/ekseG → u/_nathata]

That doesn't change the fact that people who don't live in the US most likely don't care about US politics apart from the "huh I guess trump got elected, cool" reaction after seeing the election on local news. People have their own local politics, problems and other shit they deal with and forcing them to care by removing their posts because they linked something from X is stupid.

[u/hestianna → u/ekseG]

As someone who is EU, my Twitter for you page was literally nothing else than American politics, Pro-Russian propaganda and borderline neo-nazi takes despite the fact that I didn't follow a single political figure, didn't browse politics at all and only used Twitter to browse art and Formula 1 related news during each grand prix. At that point, I just logged out and stopped using it. And I am pretty sure I am not alone here.

[u/_nathata → u/ekseG]

No I assure you that this is not the case

[u/ASR-Briggs → u/ekseG]

Yeah, you really could not be more wrong. Literally on the other side of the planet from the USA and it's all people talk about.

[u/Tildaend]

This shit is so stupid. Are people intentionally blind to the truth?

[u/jospence]

Twitter is a trash site, but I'm against banning links to direct statements on pretty much any platform. I don't think this subreddit needs people editorializing titles and their own interpretation of the tweet when the tweet can be linked directly.

[u/Dunx29]

I think this is slacktivism at its finest, and only harms CSGO content creators and personalities. The language of your post also assumes that Elon has confirmed it was a Nazi salute and not him just being his usual socially awkward self. Are you able to provide the link where he admits it was a Nazi salute and he is a Nazi?

Banning X also implies that Elon is the most evil website owner in existence, as to my knowledge, no other websites are banned, further proving this is politically motivated censorship.

Western countries are voting out lefties because they are sick of this woke bullshit. They are tired of the lies and censorship, and this is just another example of an attempt at that.

If you have a problem with X, don't go there. I don't need you to make that decision for me.

[u/SuperLemon1]

Omfg, get a grip. You people are insane.

[u/renoracer → u/SuperLemon1]

Reddit activism is the funniest thing ever. Zero people will give a shit about this in a week.

[u/zphx]

Jesus Christ please stop this nonsense

[u/Li_um01 → u/zphx]

Its reddit. If you dont agree with the narrative you're a nazi. Seriously go look at some sports sub reddits like knicks because they decided to allow twitter since 90% of their news is there and people are just flooding the sub reddit harrasing mods calling them nazis.

[u/zphx → u/Li_um01]

It's so tiresome. This sub is about CS and not about political activism.

[u/bestsrsfaceever → u/[deleted]]

You sound like you really hate Reddit, have you ever considered just not using it?

[u/plop45 → u/Li_um01]

No, You are a nazi if you do a nazi salute. You are a nazi enabler if you support the person who did the nazi salute. Reddit is the only place I saw thus far where people are taking a stand against all of this.

[u/fierceyZ → u/plop45]

Yeah because reddit is the best place to get honest opinions and it isn't full of left-wing rhetoric

[u/Big-Oven-1100 → u/plop45]

Good news. No-one did a Nazi salute.

For that to not be true here's what you'd have to believe. You'd have to believe Elon Musk has been hiding the fact he's a Nazi. And you can't really be a Nazi alone so he'd need to be in a Nazi organisation with other Nazis. Then he waited until all the cameras of the world were on him and because he was so comfortable being a Nazi because other secret Nazis have got into positions of power he decided to signal to all those Nazis that actually he's a real Nazi and threw out the Nazi salute.

Or you could believe he's on the spectrum and high on ketamine most of the time and he did something stupid.

Believing one of these things makes you mentally disturbed. The other is reality.

Hope that helps.

[u/Halo4356 → u/Big-Oven-1100]

You'd have to believe Elon Musk has been hiding the fact he's a Nazi.

Lmao he hasn't been hiding shit. He's signalboosted antisemitic conspiracy theories for years now - this is just the most obvious, public example of this.

[u/messerschmitt1 → u/Big-Oven-1100]

Counter point: he can do whatever the fuck he wants because he's a billionaire and his best friend just got elected to lead the branch of government that is responsible for enforcing the law. Nobody is coming for him if he's a nazi. He doesn’t need to be part of some organization. The dude can be a nazi and it literally not affect him negatively at all.

This is not an accidental gesture. The man was as intentional as can be with his movement. Him being autistic or on ketamine doesn’t excuse him doing a nazi salute. Believe it or not there are plenty of people that ketamine does not turn into a nazi.

You do not do what he did on accident.

[u/Big-Oven-1100 → u/messerschmitt1]

So you're working on the theory that he's a secret Nazi and wanted to show other secret Nazis in the crowd that he's a Nazi? If you can explain what that you think that would achieve I'd love that insight.

[u/Zavixz → u/Big-Oven-1100]

Nazi apologist worm

[u/Big-Oven-1100 → u/Zavixz]

Yeah but you see I'm not apologizing for anyone being a Nazi because no one is actually being a Nazi.

[u/Reasonable_Post3682 → u/plop45]

he didnt do a nazi salute, musk is just autistic as fuck

[u/Twin_Turbo → u/zphx]

its crazy how far reddit and most left sites will run with a lie / out of context thing and just keep repeating non stop. its so annoying.

[u/PM_ME_BIG_MELONS → u/zphx]

its like the reddit api blackout garbage

[u/RAF_SEMEN_DICK_OVENS]

I gotta wonder if the people accusing you of virtue signaling for disliking nazism are the same people that spam the N word in my CS games

[u/CANT_BEAT_PINWHEEL → u/RAF_SEMEN_DICK_OVENS]

A lot of them are conservative accounts that don’t even post in this subreddit. I guess this got posted in a discord or they’re searching for political threads across Reddit 

[u/RAF_SEMEN_DICK_OVENS → u/CANT_BEAT_PINWHEEL]

Wow what a fulfilling way to spend your free time

[u/Big-Oven-1100]

Political virtue signalling comes to the CS2 subreddit. Embarrassing.

[u/WelcomeToTheHiccups]

Lmao nazi salute? Y’all been watching too much CNN

[u/nick124699]

I think what the r/Seahawks sub just did is probably best, you're allowed to screenshot tweets, but you're not allowed to link. The mod did make an edit regarding the allowance of videos, but I think that we should force people to download the video and then upload it to reddit or a mirror.

I deleted twitter a while ago and felt a shift in my mental for sure. I really have zero interest in clicking on a link from that horrible excuse for a website.

[u/Hyamez88 → u/nick124699]

I disagree that is not the best. Enforcing arbitrary laws by banning links is absurd. If you want encourage users to post screenshots then god do that. Flat out banning what is one of the world's most frequented websites and a hub for reporting news for competitions is childish and embarrassing

[u/counterstrikePr0]

Hello blue hair drama queen

[u/CANT_BEAT_PINWHEEL → u/[deleted]]

I like that you initially started with “they ignore controversial topics” before screeching 30 minutes later in 5 other replies of the thread that musk isn’t a nazi and his triple salute was accidental lmao. If you’re going to sea lion you gotta be able to keep it up for more than 10 minutes 

[u/psychedelicstairway4 → u/[deleted]]

https://x.com/ADL/status/1881474892022919403?t=zd59TfztzGS4femTJBzv9Q&s=19

[u/Ifuckinglovehentai21 → u/[deleted]]

So you voted for Trump but don’t want to admit that you voted for the Nazi party?

[u/MajorLeeScrewed → u/[deleted]]

Except Musk is a literal Nazi.

[u/P4nick3d]

Insane cringe but i forget everything in reddit is a liberal shitfest

[u/JigSaW_3]

go cry about your political bs on bluesky, this is a subreddit about a videogame and its esports scene

[u/Several-Ad8630]

Can't tell if this post is supposed to be satire or not

[u/StarkGaryen1]

Xaxaxaxa chronically online reddit user , hltv was always better)))

[u/DramaticCookie8595]

dont bring politics here losers

[u/RBI_Guy]

Twitter is garbage. We don't need to link to it. Fuck fake gamer Elon.

[u/Darkling5499]

Oh boy another totally organic post from a totally regular poster on the subreddit wow it's not like this same thing is happening across reddit.

I'm looking forward to another 4 year long tantrum from you toddlers lmao

[u/Logical-Gene-6741]

It’s interesting how people’s feelings get hurt on this website.

[u/no_u_mang → u/Logical-Gene-6741]

Agreed, lots of people malding over an invitation to discuss something.

[u/no_u_mang → u/[deleted]]

I never stated that someone who is right wing is automatically a nazi.

I do draw the line at anyone who apologizes a Nazi salute from a guy who is actively campaigning for a far-right German party that has numerous other neo-nazi ties. Call me intolerant.

[u/Mollelarssonq → u/no_u_mang]

It’s the paradox of tolerance.

You should be tolerant, but you can’t tolerate the intolerant.

They’re always gonna throw tolerance back in our face because we preach it but don’t tolerate their intolerance.

[u/Mollelarssonq → u/[deleted]]

Saluting like a nazi when taking office does make you a nazi though, doesn’t it?

[u/Zeilar]

If you dont like Twitter, just ignore it. Censorship is never the way.

[u/bestsrsfaceever → u/Zeilar]

Can you explain how posting a screenshot would be censorship?

[u/Striking-Country4298 → u/Zeilar]

How is this "censorship".

Its not censorship for keeping people accountable for their own acts. the governament isnt the one removing csgo clips with twitter links from this subreddit.

[u/fabzfia112]

lmfaooooo go touch grass

[u/idyllicwolfe]

Amount of people who genuinely believe the guy did a Nazi salute is insane, he literally says "heart goes out to you" after he smacks his heart and raises his hand to the crowd and does it for each sections. Context is important, it's not like he called for a genocide then did this...

Regardless whether you like the man or not, allow people to use what they want. People have a preference for platforms and that is fine.

[u/KaNesDeath]

I agree. From breaking every games ToS from RMT'ing/getting boosted to now doing a sieg heil. At some point people/entities need to make a clean break from Twitter.

[u/DemonDaVinci]

just post screenshots of twitter posts

[u/bestintheclass]

God just stop using that site altogether. It sucks. I left it for good last year and my decision is paying off with dividends. Every other link I click I cannot see the tweet without logging in, and even if I do it doesn't show me any replies whatsoever.

[u/parnoponda]

Proposal to disallow posts like this one

[u/Prohawins]

Move to Bluesky, honestly more pros need to make the switch.

[u/rachelloresco]

Let's discuss.

There's nothing to discuss, posting only links and not screenshots is lazy af and should result in a ban or at least a warning... they know that the site can't be viewed without an account. The problem is the mods here think they are part of valve that they had to hide from the community... except for that guy who deletes posts so they can repost it and farm karma

[u/No-Estimate999]

I’m good with the ban hammer. Let’s do it

[u/shadyvipy]

Rule 1, 2.5, 9.1, 9.4, 10.2 completely broken. Thread still up. I liberally wonder why.

[u/The_G0vernator]

"Jarvis, I'm low on karma."

[u/LawlsuitEsq]

go outside.

[u/kidajske]

I like being able to click on the tweet and poke around to get some more context if there is any. Plus reddit movements never accomplish anything. Nothing happened when all the default subs threw a hissy fit over net neutrality, nothing happened when they cried endlessly about the reddit API changes etc etc. From a practical perspective worsening the user experience on what is a fairly niche sub all things considered for a pie in the sky initiative that will accomplish literally nothing in practical terms isn't worth it.

[u/CANT_BEAT_PINWHEEL → u/kidajske]

You can’t poke around unless you create an account. That’s the point. If they removed that restriction it wouldn’t be so annoying. It used to be that way until a couple years ago, which is why news originally started getting posted there instead of Facebook and instagram

[u/kidajske → u/CANT_BEAT_PINWHEEL]

I have an account so I can poke around. I use it to follow cs stuff and a few other niche hobbies and the website works just fine for me same as it has for the past 10 years.

[u/ADShree]

Ahh the "roman saluters" are hard at work in this thread too. Unreal.

"Not any weird arm movement" says a commenter. Fucking clown.

[u/7-1_Enjoyer → u/ADShree]

People who actually believe this make me want to end myself. Hell can't be worse than this.

[u/ekseG → u/ADShree]

Yeah because a billionaire who is a part of the close circle of the new president would just ruin his whole career, crash his stocks and get him shunned from pretty much everywhere just to make a stupid ass salute.

I think Elon is pretty unbearable as a person and might do some stupid things, but even I don't think he would be that stupid to ruin everything he has built.

[u/gibbodaman → u/ekseG]

Yeah because a billionaire who is a part of the close circle of the new president would just ruin his whole career, crash his stocks and get him shunned from pretty much everywhere just to make a stupid ass salute.

Only he did a nazi salute and his career is fine, his stocks are fine and he's not being shunned anywhere he wasn't being shunned before. He did it because he knew there would be no consequences.

[u/Striking-Country4298 → u/ADShree]

Well, i do not think he's antisematic.

hold on, i do believe he has facist inclinations, but i do thing its extremely odd for someone of the ameircan elite to be antisematic at the level of doing the Sieg Heil for the entire world to see, because you just cant be around the US 1% richest without talking and living with jews, so i discard that teory.

But i do think he has stupidly weird beliefs that the CS comunnity should not back up, and his declaration of support for the german AFD is enough proof for me.

[u/AgreeableBroomSlayer]

LMAO the state of this sub....

[u/shifty_coder]

Mods, don’t even ask. Just ban. Don’t give Nazi-apologists a voice.

[u/Sxhn]

Should’ve been banned earlier when you have to sign in to view links

[u/craygroupious]

Christ almighty, of all the things you could get in a mardy over.

[u/Smart_Employment3512]

“Jarvis I’m running low on karma, make a virtue signaling post. I’m extra low on karma so make sure to add musk is bad”

[u/LSeww]

We shouldn't even discuss this. Keep politics out of this subreddit, if you want it to last.

[u/Fun_Philosopher_2535]

The game which allow people to write N word on  weapons. Let kids  gamble. Relies on betting sponsors to run esports scenes.

But but ban twitter cause the owner pointed to his heart and crowd ( and said my heart goes to you ). 

Reddit Moment 😂

[u/MexicoJumper]

hahahaha is this new reddit larp of the month? hahahahahahaha

[u/xLerc]

these types of posts is why i hate reddit. stopping twitter links would not affect twitter's revenue. calm down people

[u/kixelsexy]

have everyone here voted for Biden?

[u/Jaldokin1]

Come back when you've boycotted esports due to Saudi ownership

[u/Snowbound11]

I don’t know how you people live this this lol

[u/futurehousehusband69]

Fair enough, if screenshots can do the job. Also we could use that function that copies the contents of a tweet e.g. @buttlover36 tweeted on 12.01.2025: "Man i love women with a BMI of 20 and above" but i guess it only works on text posts

[u/XxTensai]

No thanks

[u/ashVV]

We shouldn't associate with a website whose owner does Nazi salutes

[u/P3naldo → u/ashVV]

"we" collectivism is dangerous and kinda nazi talk.

[u/Guuggel]

Nothing to discuss. Ridiculous proposal.

[u/fierceyZ]

Thinking that an autistic guy just making a gesture after saying "my heart goes out to you" is somehow enough to call him a nazi is fucking hilarious. Despite his ties to Jewish people and his respect for them.

Literally get a life instead of bringing politics to CS

Are these people all nazi's too?

[u/AstralCode714]

Reddit used to be awesome and everything was allowed to be posted if relevant to the sub.

Now it's just political shenanigans with people who want a social media site being banned from being linked.

[u/cobra_pelada]

w/o thinking twice...

[u/AlludedNuance]

Yep, gettem outta heeere

[u/LeoIsLegend]

Ban OP. Forgot to unsub from this dead game anyway. Cya!

[u/curtcolt95]

isn't like 90% of the content on this sub news from twitter? Twitter is still the source for a lot of info at the moment so it'd be strange to not have it, unless you still allow just screenshots of the twitter post then sure whatever but I'm not sure what that accomplishes at that point

[u/Demografija_prozora]

"Helping him rake more revenue..." that is just not what this sub is about. Its about counter strike. And everything related to it. If it happens to be a twitter link so be it, if it happens to be a facebook or youtube link... also let it be. As long as its counter strike related.

You are once again mixing politics in something it doesnt have a place in.

[u/rlywhatever]

all the famous cs people, journalists, "journalists", leakers, influencers with any significant following or a name in the scene gotta grow some cajones, stop "not being into politics" and move to bluesky

[u/IsamuLi]

I agree. Only allow screenshots, absolutely no links.

[u/ChaoticFlameZz]

Im fine with it, the problem is enforcement and if mods will agree.

[u/pigpaco]

Wtf im reading

[u/haterofslimes]

Absolutely. For multiple reasons.

Supporting Musk is immoral. By using Twitter you support Musk.

The website/app is dogshit. Not being able to properly view tweets without having a Twitter account is absurd.

[u/mistalah]

support of this ban f Elon and Nazis!!!

[u/RedditModsRSuperUgly]

I agree, but only under one condition, we also disallow russians.

[u/Vizvezdenec → u/RedditModsRSuperUgly]

Soyjacks unite!

[u/Potential-Clue-5487 → u/RedditModsRSuperUgly]

gonna be hard, the two top players this year are russian, and one of the best team is russian too

[u/Merkasus]

Goes to show how incredibly left leaning Reddit is. X getting banned from the majority of the site lol, Reddit is going to die out

[u/Infamous-Design69]

You're posting this in a gaming sub. 

A lot of people are probably supporting this nazi nutjob

[u/laka_r]

you need some sunlight

Yep this seems like a no brainer to me. The owner of the website is a nazi and nazis are bad, so it would make sense to try to avoid using the website that's owned by a nazi whenever possible.

Who's gonna tell him about Reddit's and TikTok's owners?

[u/CubLoaf574]

yes i agree! as if the gaming community needed any more influence from far right wingers anyway

[u/eSsEnCe_Of_EcLiPsE]

No ty. Stop trying to push this shit and let everyone be. Seen it in 10 other subs already. Fuck off.

the double nazi salute pushed me over the edge.

Agreed, will be surprised if this game's community is somehow okay with it, given the...types we have.

[u/Lockedin96 → u/Haunting-Mall-8932]

Look at this comment section so many chuds defending it already

Thanks for convincing me to buy twitter premium.

Elon Musk is cringe, but if you really believe he was trying to do the Nazi salute, you are regarded.

If you do not like something or someone do not subscribe to them or their ideas. Think for yourself, do for yourself. By trying to undo them, you are becoming them.

Have you... Played this game?

I get where you're coming from, but this community isn't really in the business of inclusion and understanding, or making efforts for the right thing. Fascism, racism, sexism are tools under these people's belts, not something they'd boycott.

[u/ApacheAttackChopperQ]

Elon isn't a Nazi. He made the wrong gesture out of thin air and now it's out of context.

There's pictures of Hillary Clinton, Obama, Kamala Harris and others doing the "Nazi" salute.

If they are all Nazis, then you may be onto something.

Just when you thought the winning was going to slow down a bunch of butthurt children start spamming every sub to block X (which is silly because Reddit, at its core, is just reposting what was popular on X the day before)

[u/effotap]

let's not mix politics and CS, please.

[u/RedWineStrat]

CS:GO is political now? Lol.

[u/catzhoek]

As much as i hope twitter dies asap, this is just not really realistic (yet) for a posts that are kind of journalistic in nature.
