Since Tuesday, hundreds of subreddits have discussed and/or implemented bans against the site formerly called Twitter, as reported by 404 Media. Dozens of subreddits have already agreed to disallow the sharing of any links to X, with moderators (volunteer Reddit users) agreeing to enforce the bans.

In the wake of Elon Musk's speech at Trump's inauguration and its accompanying (ahem) hand gesture, the userbase of Reddit seems to have decided it's simply done with Musk and his website. As we reported yesterday, r/pcgaming has now banned X links —and the same thing is happening across a huge number of subreddits, major and minor.

In reaction to hand gestures Elon Musk made at a post-inauguration rally that many said resembled a Nazi salute, Reddit moderators took swift action.

Reddit communities with millions of subscribers lead charge as social media landscape faces period of unprecedented turbulence

More than 100 Reddit communities have banned users from posting links to X in protest at owner Elon Musk's controversial arm gesture at a rally celebrating Donald Trump's return to office. The billionaire twice extended his arm out straight as he thanked the crowd for "making it happen."

The cascade of link bans on Reddit came after Musk made a hand gesture at a Monday rally that many compared to a Nazi salute.

After months of controversy, capped off by Elon Musk's salute at the presidential inauguration, backlash against the tech mogul has hit a fever pitch.

When moderators over on the D&D subreddit put out a poll over the subject, an "overwhelming" majority of respondents voted to ban links to Twitter outright. That's 90% of 15,253 people, meaning that around 1,525 people voted that "Twitter/X should not be limited in any way."

According to the OP's post, which has racked up 4,200 upvotes, the 55-inch TV they have been trying to sell didn't have a scratch on it the morning they and their partner loaded it into their vehicle to meet a buyer via Facebook.

The r/SouthAfrica sub-Reddit has joined hundreds of other communities banning members from posting links to X, formerly Twitter. The community is also gathering feedback on whether Facebook and Instagram links should be banned as well.
