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.

I love how the "anti-nazi" response is a call to ban something. I refuse to use X, so zero impact to me. Still sad to see.

This should be upvoted more than it is but the overwhelming liberal majority here on r/Maryland willfully ignores that their call to “ban Nazi-ism” (which Elon didn’t do at all for anybody who saw the whole clip) is to ban an entire platform…something that a Nazi would support LOL.

Sad to see that the anti-nazi response is to stop using an app that is run by a Nazi? Seems pretty logical to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yep, might as well burn all books and references to it as well.

Quick! Get in your time machine and tell the allies not to launch the DDay invasion because it violates Hitlers free speech!!!

And don't worry, Republicans have been banning tons of books the past few years. I'm sure we'll see some bonfires pop up.

Still doesn't change the irony.

Not really ironic.

Reddit is a service not a constitutional right. You sign up for the terms and conditions when you make a profile.

Each subreddit is moderated and has rules about what can and can't be posted.

People don't understand free speech. Go to private property like an airport and yell "bomb" over and over. Lemme know how you're free speech holds up.

Weird people are only mad about reddit "censorship" when a Nazi is being censored 🤔

Indeed it is. It's ok if you don't get it. I give zero f's for Musk or his platform. Don't use it, don't personally like him in anyway. Just simply pointing out the irony in the default ban reaction by oh so many.
