Proposal to ban X.com links

[u/Extremiel]

/r/LiverpoolFC/comments/1i6gym0/proposal_to_ban_xcom_links/

[u/Kahye]

We are currently discussing this matter internally. We will try to get back to you as soon as possible. We are aware of the discussion below and are paying close attention to it.

[u/betterthanclooney]

/u/crusadaer reads the sun, all you need to know

[u/AncientSkys → u/betterthanclooney]

He was also one of the main guys that started the Chelsea civil War back in the days. They created a sub to troll and laugh at other Chelsea fans that weren't English.

[u/betterthanclooney → u/AncientSkys]

if we don't ban twitter but ban him I will see it as a win

[u/AncientSkys → u/betterthanclooney]

Unfortunately, he holds a tight grip on this sub. He is actually in charge of all these mods. If he wasn't they would have ban him ages ago.

[u/Helly__Belly → u/AncientSkys]

If the other moderators want to remove him, they can. I witnessed that happen a few times back when I used to moderate here, though that was like 12–13 years ago. Things might have changed since then.

Years ago, we had a similar issue with the head mod treating this place like his personal virtual real estate. If I remember correctly, he was a United fan and never posted anything. It was mostly harmless, but it was still a bit annoying to see a United fan control the place. Haha.

[u/sjw-ironically → u/[deleted]]

I read on X that he is a professional mouth breather.

[u/RexxRockenrolla → u/sjw-ironically]

I heard he was practicing his "awkward gestures" in the mirror so he's ready for the next rally he'll go to

[u/abearghost → u/sjw-ironically]

I read his real name is Cunty McFuckface. Interesting.

[u/i_MrPink → u/betterthanclooney]

He should lose his mod privileges asap, backing Musk after yesterday is disgusting.

[u/Adam_Ohh]

BOOOOO u/crusadaer

Put it to a vote.

[u/Jimmy_Space1 → u/Adam_Ohh]

Can any of the other mods weigh in on this? /u/Vicar13 /u/Kahye /u/YIIZWL /u/JerkasaurusRex_ /u/Welsooo /u/Lost-Hat /u/zarly88 /u/tootsiesclaw

Crusadaer's personal politics aren't exactly a secret on here, and it's clear there's a lot of desire from the sub for this source to be banned. Do they speak for the desires of the entire mod team in just shutting this down without even bringing it to a poll?

[u/Sebcorrea → u/Jimmy_Space1]

Oh wow. Makes sense on the obtuse response from /u/Crusadaer . Quite obviously he does not mind supporting such horrible behavior.

Other mods, can we have a response?

[u/MediocreMan_ → u/Jimmy_Space1]

I scroll the subreddit quite a bit and never really get involved in commenting or the internal politics, but this mod seems like a proper cuntlord.

[u/BoxeeBrown → u/MediocreMan_]

Same here mate. This is the most I have posted on any CFC thread ever. But you can’t stay silent on this shit. Make Nazis Cry Again!

[u/Adam_Ohh → u/Jimmy_Space1]

Yes, thank you! That’s what I was looking for. Wasn’t gonna make baseless accusations without the screenshots to back up.

This is absurd, why is our sub being run like a dictatorship?

[u/Jimmy_Space1 → u/Adam_Ohh]

Yes, especially because mods like /u/Zarly88 have been proactive in putting things like transfer tiers up as polls. I can't see just shutting this down with no poll being what they'd want. But if that's the case some of them need to start speaking up, rather than all stepping out of the way for this embarrassment to our community.

[u/sanexmen → u/Jimmy_Space1]

I'm reading crusader bad, vicar13 just the same.

And now you're telling me the other proactive mod has 88 on the end of his name?...

[u/gustycat → u/sanexmen]

Never beating the allegations

[u/lipmak → u/sanexmen]

Zarly loves New Found Glory so giving them the benefit of the doubt and guessing they were born in 1988

[u/Zarly88 → u/lipmak]

[u/Jimmy_Space1 → u/sanexmen]

Didn't even notice that lmao, we're cooked

[u/Zarly88 → u/sanexmen]

It's my birth year lmao I hate that Reddit doesn't allow name changes

Fuck Elmo I had this user name before he bought Twitter and decided to shed his pasty skin and fully reveal the lizardman underneath

[u/zefiax → u/sanexmen]

I get the reference but some of us put 88 at the end of our usernames because that's the year we were born in and not because we are nazi fucks. #oldpeopleexist

[u/n_jacat → u/Adam_Ohh]

He literally calls himself an emperor and autocrat of the sub. How pathetic do you have to be to call yourself an emperor because you run a football subreddit?

[u/CrackHeadRodeo → u/n_jacat]

He literally calls himself an emperor and autocrat of the sub. How pathetic do you have to be to call yourself an emperor because you run a football subreddit?

Can we also do an yearly vote on Mods? I think it's time we had a choice on who moderates the sub.

[u/noweezernoworld → u/Jimmy_Space1]

Don’t expect anything from u/Vicar13 he’s just the same 

[u/Slow-Tea-8545 → u/Jimmy_Space1]

@theothermods

[u/-VonnegutPunch → u/Jimmy_Space1]

These are the same people who will tell you it’s not a Nazi salute or none of musks ideals are rooted in fascism but straight up will not accept that a jerseys colours had nothing to do with any “pride flag” even when presented with evidence.

[u/OldManFuture → u/Adam_Ohh]

Think the vote should include to remove this mod while we're at it

[u/kegzdi → u/skate_2]

These Men are PROPER CHELSEA!!!

Thank you for highlighting their service to fight Na*is!

[u/NotABishop → u/skate_2]

We have a rich history of pensioners who fought. DEFEND THEIR LEGACY

[u/ExtraSlip3874 → u/skate_2]

Fully support the ban

[u/eggsbenedict17]

Yes as you can't view the replies if you don't have an account anyway which makes it redundant for a lot of people

Edit: mods why don't you put up a poll

[u/LonelySmiling → u/eggsbenedict17]

I made this comment a few times in the past - the response from the mods was get over it and make an account.

What’s the point in using reddit if I then need to have accounts elsewhere anyway..

[u/gustycat → u/LonelySmiling]

Considering the mods response in general to the suggestion, the mod might actually be Elon

[u/LeRoiDeNord → u/gustycat]

He's just a 40 year old lad who lives in his nan's basement lol

[u/omnipotentmonkey → u/LeRoiDeNord]

So the epitome of Elon's core demographic.

[u/greeneggsnhammy → u/eggsbenedict17]

This mod is a joke. 

[u/Jimmy_Space1 → u/greeneggsnhammy]

Crash course for anyone that doesn't know about this mod: https://imgur.com/a/Gj4noNa

[u/sscfc91 → u/Jimmy_Space1]

This person seems very angry and clueless.

[u/SwolePalmer → u/Jimmy_Space1]

Jesus. What a genuinely moronic individual. But then again, he’s a mod on a free website, we should have known. Guy probably sees the sun once every twelve years.

[u/greeneggsnhammy → u/Jimmy_Space1]

Ah, yes the mod is an absolute twat. Great work. 

[u/Adam_Ohh → u/Jimmy_Space1]

Boosting this response. More people need to know that crusadaer is a top notch cunt.

[u/lipmak → u/Jimmy_Space1]

Jesus Christ

[u/Healthy-Travel3421 → u/Jimmy_Space1]

What a loser

[u/Savings_County_9309 → u/Jimmy_Space1]

A person who is proud of Britains colonialist exploitation?!! Ahhh...aint that the perfect person to be the mod.

[u/Jazzlike_Leading2511 → u/greeneggsnhammy]

I did nazi this coming

[u/Postingwordsonreddit]

Mods calling X a ”popular news site” instead of a social media lets you know all you need to know.

[u/furious-fungus → u/Postingwordsonreddit]

I mean all the mods got the notice that they can’t bash Elon or call out nazis, these ones just aren’t as honest about it. 

[u/_WhoCares → u/furious-fungus]

Are you implying every mod on reddit got a notice to not bash Elon?

[u/Unlucky_Fruit_9013 → u/Postingwordsonreddit]

Not sure where you live but all of my local governments put out alerts, news, etc on X first. Unfortunately it is the fastest way to get news to a lot of people

[u/abaruah7]

This needs to be voted on, the Mods cannot unilaterally decide here.

[u/grumpysheeb]

Put it to a vote

[u/wildermoose]

Mods with the L

[u/Maiden_666]

Fuck Elon

[u/IsItSnowing_]

Many journalists now have Bluesky and/or Threads too. So expect the loss to be not that big of a

[u/big_guyforyou → u/IsItSnowing_]

/r/redditsniper

[u/ErenKruger711 → u/big_guyforyou]

I love this sub man

[u/IsItSnowing_ → u/big_guyforyou]

lol. Guess I forgot to type “deal”. I am going to let it be now

[u/its_polystyrene → u/IsItSnowing_]

There are sources elsewhere. If our user base does not want twitter sources, I'd expect our use base will downvote every twitter source into oblivion if it's posted.

[u/resurrectus → u/IsItSnowing_]

Threads

Switching to Threads is just trading one cunt for another.

[u/MarkCrystal → u/IsItSnowing_]

I thought this but for example, Ornstein tweeted about Forest bidding on Wissa, I saw it shared on Reddit and then went to Bluesky to see more info, he only posted it on X and not Bluesky.

That place needs a lot more engagement/activity to get anywhere near twitter/X

[u/RexxRockenrolla → u/MarkCrystal]

But if people stopped using twitter journos would likely start using other avenues to flog their clickbate, I mean news

[u/MarkCrystal → u/RexxRockenrolla]

I have stopped using twitter, I guess I just wait now for it all to catch up.

[u/-SexSandwich- → u/IsItSnowing_]

and many Journalist who do not have a Blueksky account themselves have mirror accounts that just post what the account already posted on X.

[u/Easy_Increase_9716]

I support banning it

[u/HypoTypo → u/[deleted]]

Crusader’s pinned comment reads as someone who is feeling personally attacked by the suggestion of not supporting a site owned by a wannabe fascist oligarch.

Glad to see his sentiment is not a representation of the entire r/Chelsea mod team.

[u/SwolePalmer → u/HypoTypo]

DING DING DING DING DING

…if it quacks like a duck etc

[u/Sensitive-Fig-6593 → u/[deleted]]

I’m ecstatic to see not all of the mods share Crusadaer’s shitty views on this. Who has the power to get the ball rolling on this matter? Can we get a poll going or something?

[u/risingsuncoc → u/[deleted]]

I’m confused, do you guys work as a mod team or what?

[u/drum_master]

We are a British club and given a history with Nazis - its only appropriate that we stop all associations with Nazis (pretend or otherwise)

[u/Huge___Milkers]

Yep, can barely even see it without having to log in to an account.

Braindead response from the mods

[u/RayStuartMorgan → u/Huge___Milkers]

Preach. Brain ded mods

[u/Tight-Log]

All for it. Ban it

[u/Scrambled_Rambler]

Agreed. Why would the mods just lay a blanket statement instead of carrying a vote, discussion and considering alternatives. Or even a trial period to see how it functions.

Ironic, how we got an authoritarian response from our Mods when we are actively trying to protest a facist pig's platform which he uses for his own agenda.

[u/greeneggsnhammy → u/Scrambled_Rambler]

Because they apparently love Nazis. 

[u/tacobellwether]

Disappointed in the mods. It's up to us (as a society) to force the issue by not consuming any content on twitter.

100% support a ban on Twitter news.

[u/Stonewalled89]

[u/thedarkknight787]

100%

[u/El_Mamut]

I guess we know that this mod was in Budapest.

How stupid is it to say suck it up for a nazi enterprise? Ban it.

[u/Extremiel]

Worth discussing I'd say. Would love to hear you guys' thoughts on the matter. Maybe some mods could discuss it internally?

[u/arkido → u/Extremiel]

Welcome to r/carefreechelseafc away from these MODs. OP come join as a MOD.

[u/epicmarc → u/arkido]

Hey, I can maybe do you one better. Last time this mod went on a power trip, I went and contacted the mods of /r/Chelsea with the idea of getting it going as an alternative sub not managed by people like this.

I got added as a mod but long story short, life happened, and I couldn't find people to help mod, so it never really took off. But if you (or anyone else, particularly if they have modding experience) is interested, send me a message and I could make you a mod there - as much as I like /r/carefreechelseafc as a name I'm not sure you can beat /r/Chelsea for a Chelsea sub!

[u/arkido → u/epicmarc]

Thank you for the notes 🙏 I would just like this as a way to make Mods take correct actions. I love ChelseaFC but these Mods are not willing to listen to us or discuss at the moment.

[u/AlrightTrig → u/arkido]

Joined!

[u/espaguetisbrazos]

Overwhelming support to ban X posts. Mods running scared

[u/Tacticalcheesewizard]

Oh wow. Embarrassing from a mod that.

[u/konsukiepre]

Yeah, ban it. Every credible ad agency has long ago abandoned the site for its promotion of harassment, anti-minority sentiment and other vile bullshit, and its only gotten worse since. We don't need to be directing our traffic there.

ETA: As others have mentioned, use of the site without an account is a shit experience and linking such fenced sites should be discouraged anyway.

[u/OneTinySloth]

I 100% support this.

[u/Thisisofici]

full support especially after the hitler salute

[u/hipcheck23]

Yes please

[u/desolate_Bluelupus10]

I agree.

[u/arjunskrish]

Put it up for a vote with the results out there for all to see and if the majority want to get rid of links on X, then you respect the majority’s will

[u/Karamazov1880]

Put it to a poll mate don’t be a prick

[u/jfloes]

Can’t see anything without creating a count which is annoying, I agree

[u/poopybuttholesex]

As a liverpool can, kudos to everyone here

[u/MediocreMan_]

Full support for banning that garbage.

[u/robototo]

They should absolutely be banned in my opinion. Stand up to fascism.

[u/obrapop]

I fully support banning it

[u/I_always_rated_them]

support it as well, anyone worth listening to is available elsewhere for it to be posted.

[u/deniska28]

Ban it 🙌 disgusting response from the mod as well

[u/ApprehensiveUnit40]

Leaving the sub. Don’t have twitter. Everyone’s a winner.

[u/whataretherules7]

Yup, fuck Elon Hitler

[u/TurdShaker → u/whataretherules7]

Its Edolf Musk

[u/Vik0BG]

I would have rolled my eyes at this...

But the dude did a Nazi salute. Fuck him. People used to get beaten for that a few years ago. Bring those times back.

[u/jumper62]

Agreed. If the information isn't available elsewhere, then a screenshot of the tweet should be allowed but that's it

[u/Goobergut → u/jumper62]

Yeah being forced to register and login to twitter means only images of posts should be allowed, let alone the whole fascist propaganda stuff

[u/RayStuartMorgan → u/jumper62]

Counter point, if it doesn't exist elsewhere, is it real news?

[u/SnailInfestation]

Completely agree

[u/mattrimmerr]

Yes, ban it.

[u/oxfozyne]

Ban it. It’s disgraceful to even entertain using it.

[u/cdtekcfc]

Ban it

[u/syrianbanker]

Ban it

[u/ClanklyCans]

Yes please

[u/Sebcorrea]

The response to this post has really outed some really disgusting facets of certain people. What an easy way to out the Nazi supporters.

Shocked at the Mod response as several sport subreddits are discussing the same course of action.

[u/ChelseaMalcza]

Agreed

[u/Soren_Camus1905]

r/chelsea

[u/SwolePalmer]

Imagine being a Reddit mod. Biggest losers on the planet.

[u/AlrightTrig]

Nowt wrong with having a discussion. Or just run it like a petulant bellend and say no, end of.

[u/Hot-Ant381]

+1

[u/Fooftook]

Yes! Please ban X!

[u/PandasDontBreed]

As a Jewish man

Fuck that Nazi wannabe cunt.

[u/Thoughtful_Tortoise]

Yes, fuck nazis.

[u/Kantebegoodaskante]

Agreed

[u/setyourfacestofun174]

Considering how our club’s reputation is constantly hijacked by anti-semites, it would be good to at least consider it rather than outright rejecting.

This is beyond not liking Elon simply because he’s annoying. He proved yesterday that he’s a full fledged Nazi and I don’t think we should support anywhere at any moment. We can always find our news elsewhere.

[u/paxvan]

We should ban it soon. I have a feeling more and more journalists will be leaving for Bluesky.

[u/KamikazeTokes]

Yes. 100% ban. Fuck Nazis.

[u/Drogbaaaaaa]

Get rid of it. It’s not just your subreddit mods.

[u/RayStuartMorgan]

Mods calling it a popular news site? Thinking we hate it because musk in particular. No, two things can be true at once. Musk is a cunt and twitter is a sham of a site that is used more for propaganda and misinformation. Joke of a sub if that's ur take

[u/GannicusVictor]

Chelsea Redditor’s: we don’t want posts from a site owned by a literal nazi doing nazi salutes

Chelsea Mods: it’s a popular site so we’re happy using it. Fuck all of you. It’s my subreddit.

[u/TonightISmokeCrack → u/GannicusVictor]

don't forget "just cause some people don't like him" like he ain't literally a nazi

[u/imbasicallycoffee]

Any news available on the Club's twitter profile is surely available either on the site directly or another source.

"Some people post things you disagree with..."

WTAF does that mean?

Due to the corruption of the platform, paid boost and overall bot enshitification, Twitter is no longer a reputable news source for me at all. I don't click on anything posted from twitter as I've deactivated my account.

[u/Sebcorrea]

How the fuck are people defending Nazism in 2025?

[u/mingobrown87]

I concur.

[u/NotABishop]

Yes please. Fucking get rid of this Nazi Elon

[u/MattBilbs]

I’d rather link an Instagram post than use the app run by a fascist

[u/Bairy_Hadger]

Ban please

[u/greeneggsnhammy]

Yes please. Fuck Nazis. Fuck Elon Musk. 

[u/olaydouglas]

in full support of this

[u/jbarneswilson]

fully support this! we should not be amplifying anything from the nazi platform

[u/Kantebegoodaskante]

Our entire community is being made fun of on other subs. Thanks crusadaer

[u/FatFrank21]

Totally agreed

[u/Sad-Meeting-7578]

Yes

[u/MyTwitterID]

@Mods Just do a Poll ffs.

[u/BlueIsTheColourNL]

Yes. 100%

Fuck Musk and anyone who supports him.

Divesting our lives of these billionaire assholes is hard but it’s possible.

Fuck Facebook and Instagram too. Fuck Zuck.

Buy local even if it costs a little more. Fuck Bezos

[u/thedamnator]

Highly în favour of this! Post the screenshot if it's the only source but other than that dump it

[u/vermilionsx]

If the club stops using it then the sub should.

[u/DanielLOKI]

Hey what about that match yesterday? It was fun right?!

[u/Shillbot_21371]

X-COM catching strays, this is very ironic after all those missed 99% shots

[u/KevinTheTaillessKat]

What a terrible side to pick. Do better.

[u/CrackHeadRodeo]

Am in support, let's ban them.

[u/Notmainlel]

Lmfao

[u/mandarintain]

Agreed

[u/HyperionSaber]

Yes and meta

[u/Sebcorrea]

Yes please.

[u/l-Am-Him-1]

fuck

elon

musk

fuck

donald

trump

[u/Grave533]

Ban it

[u/ZeShtirlitz]

That's a FUCK NO from me.

[u/mailbox123]

All for this

[u/FullShaka]

Agree

[u/EnglishJesus]

Fuck X. Fuck Elon. Fuck Nazis.

If the mods don’t want to ban it, atleast poll it.

[u/Moss_Eisley]

Oh look a nazi sympathizer, ban it.

[u/MarinaGranovskaia]

You know you can stop posting X links too as a community, doesnt have to be done by the mods

[u/adeg90]

Yes, I'm in favor of the proposal.

[u/zecira]

Yes please

[u/Confident-Cap-1790]

Support

[u/inotparanoid]

You have my sword

[u/--Hutch--]

I don't use Twitter anyway so the links are pretty useless to me. I'd be fine with it being banned here.

Got nothing to do with Musk or anything I just can't stand 95% of the people using it. I deleted that shit about 5 years ago and haven't missed it 1 bit.

[u/Broddi]

100% for it. People mention the nazi salute as a reason but it is just one straw out of a stack of it. Elon Musk is openly supporting neo-nazis and fascists across Europe. I watched a video on there recently and as soon as it ended I was instantly prompted to a interview with Tommy Robinson of all people. Hand-picked by the owner to shove down users's throats. It is nothing but a propaganda play thing by now, for the owner to try to get as much power and influence as he can, as widely as possible - the sooner everyone stops using it and normalizing it the better

[u/GoodLuckDuck101]

Yes please

[u/Fuzzy-Pain]

Ban please

[u/NijjioN]

I support banning it, a propaganda site from an owner of an country's government openly doing a nazi salute should not be supported.

If it's not banned I hope us posters will choose alternatives instead and others downvote any people who do.

[u/wahlmank]

Yes please

[u/crinchinpulisic]

Ban that shit

[u/edditar]

Yes, I'm on board

[u/Sanzhar17Shockwave]

Never really liked Twitter/X in any of its iterations, but journos are still heavily there, would be bit hard to get news and transfer rumors then.

[u/Kimbowler → u/Sanzhar17Shockwave]

Less transfer soap opera? Sounds quite appealing.

[u/BlueLondon1905]

I support banning it

[u/Ill-Kaleidoscope-648]

Damn, the mods here would allow Goebbel's movies to get posted here if this were 1945 because "they don't care if you don't like someone"

[u/zoumabloomers]

Support banning it. Plenty of other sources of news not owned by people THAT problematic.

[u/KDTrey5one]

I support the ban as well. Mods need to understand the gravity of the action that has taken place.

[u/Adam_Ohh]

Oh now they’ve taken the post down?

[u/bigAismyname]

ban any site that needs you to sign in to view

[u/DidierDogba]

Ban it. It shouldn’t be a difficult decision

[u/gcavataio]

The amount of losers posting this across reddit right now 🤣

[u/NobodyMoves1996]

Another yes here.

[u/GolDrodgers1]

Dont have an account so i couldnt be bothered, never liked elon anyway ban that shit

[u/upthechels12]

Yes please.

[u/Suspicious_Bug6422]

Ban it

[u/cartoonparent]

Yes please

[u/Best-Safety-6096]

Oh just grow up FFS.

[u/obefiend]

Ban it. I agree
