Dozens of big subreddits have already banned all Twitter links, and posts about potential bans are some of the most popular on the site.

Summary

Hundreds of subreddits are debating banning links to X.com (formerly Twitter) following Elon Musk’s Nazi salute at a Trump rally.

Dozens of subreddit moderators have already implemented bans, while others are holding votes among their communities.

The bans span political, regional, and topical subreddits, including r/NewJersey, r/londonOntario, and r/christianity, with some highlighting Musk’s gesture alongside neo-Nazi imagery.

This move reflects growing backlash against Musk and his platform over perceived alignment with extremist symbolism.

    The experience for unregistered users on Reddit is almost as bad as twitter, I don’t think Reddit cares about that.

      Yeah, especially on mobile where they keep bugging people to install their app even if you’ve logged in. Sometimes they even block you from viewing certain communities on mobile if you’re not using their app but if you’ve desktop site enabled from browser settings.
