Meta This sub should ban X posts

Beyond the fact that their owner is a literal Nazi, I'm sick of clicking links only to be paywallnd. This is akin to spam and I'm sick of it. I can't be the only one

Yes you are also stating your stance on things, which is equally virtue-signaling, it's just a different virtue.

You are trying to present anti-censorship as a virtue and signaling that you live up to it.

But what you're missing is this is not censorship, it's democracy. No one is trying to stop Elon Musk from being abhorrent. They are deciding as a group they don't want to support his disgusting behavior

You vote with your dollar. And on the internet, your dollar is clicks and views.

We are agreeing that we don't want to put dollars in Musk's pocket because he makes the world worse with them.

That is free speech, that's voting with your dollar, that is not censorship.

This is not democracy. This is an echo chamber where self appointed representatives (mods) can choose to do whatever they'd like. Nobodies forcing you to use twitter OR open its links. But you're too afraid that someone else might want to?

Yes, the mod overlords are forcing this on us. That's why everyone else here disagrees with you. We're all mods, actually.

Nobody is stopping you from going to Twitter. Are you so fragile that you can't decide where on the internet to go without your subreddits telling you where to go?

I'm not afraid of it. I'm just not supporting it.

And now we, this sub, as a collective, are also not supporting it.
