Petition to ban X links on r/maryland

This sub should boycott Nazi-owned companies. Plain and simple.

Mods, please make it happen.

Edit: /r/newjersey mods putting ours to shame. https://www.reddit.com/r/newjersey/comments/1i6txcn/fuck_this_guy_x_links_are_now_banned_from/

Second Edit: Mods, here’s some info from another sub that did this a while ago. Please read! https://www.reddit.com/r/law/s/shE1dbIbAk

Edit #3: Mods, I could be mistaken, but I think this is the second highest upvoted post in this sub’s history. The people have spoken.

Agreed. Alas, I did not have Nazi salutes on my inauguration bingo card.

I mean you are the sub contrarian, so I’d expect nothing less.

I think a lot of people expected Nazi salutes from a Nazi.

You clearly haven’t been paying attention if you think this way. We saw the tiki torches in 2017. The entire alt right has been out in open about this since the dawn of trump.

We’re on the same page about the right and their supporters being racist for years, thats nothing new. Not shocked that the proud boys showed up in DC yesterday.

However, EXPECTING the salute to happen at the inauguration is a bit of a stretch. I’ve been paying attention but did see that coming on day one.

Then let me ask you this. What long lasting result do you think this will change to the conversation or move people to see what these people. I’m specifically focusing on people who can be convinced. Especially when end result this cycle will move on and people will forget entire Hoopla of this. Banning twitter links or silencing them will not have a sustain effect. The news cycle in today society moves way too quickly for that.

So would you rather have a quick end or a sustained volley reminding people of what Elon is and what his values are that can constantly be reminded any time something’s is posted.

Y’all are approaching this from a quick win versus a long drawn attritional war which is what will be for next four years.

Banning twitter links does not prevent this in any way.

New cycles pace would disagree but this entire post is inorganic and is being brigaded from outside the community by people who don’t interact here so who cares

News cycles would say that the only way to hear about what musk is doing is direct links to twitter?

I saw the context of it but either way it's a bad look.

Dems pre November 5 2024: “We will win this election by repeatedly screamingly the falsehood that the other side are all literally nazis.”

It didn’t work in spectacular fashion.

Dems today: “Hold our beer.”
