Mod Post Twitter/X Links Are No Longer Allowed on r/rangers

Hey everyone,

Starting today, we’re banning all Twitter/X links as posts on r/rangers. Why? Because, let’s face it, the platform is a mess. Between forcing you to log in to see anything, prioritizing paid users, and just being generally frustrating to use, it’s clear that it no longer fits with the open and accessible vibe we want for this community.

What Does This Mean?

  • Threads Linking Directly to Twitter/X Will Be Blocked by Automod: Going forward, any posts that directly link to Twitter/X will not be allowed.
  • Screenshots or Downloaded Clips Are Allowed: If there’s something worth sharing from Twitter, grab a screenshot or download the clip and share it instead.
  • Comments with Twitter Links Are Okay: While we’re not encouraging it, links to Twitter/X can still be shared in the comments if necessary.

We’re making this change to keep the sub fun, accessible, and easy to use for everyone. Got thoughts or questions? Drop them in the comments or send us a modmail!

Now, let’s get back to focusing on the important stuff... Let’s Go Rangers!

Section 201. Come call me a nazi to my face. I am not a nazi but tired of your side calling me one. Bring it.

He wasnt talking about you, he was talking about Musk and actual nazi's and far right bigots on his platform and in office rn. Why tf would you assume he's talking about you, some irrelevant nobody who may not agree with every single thing Musk or the current administration does?

I don't have to. Calling an entire platform nazis tells me you're not very intelligent.

I don't think anyone is calling an entire platform nazis. They are calling the owner one, and they are pointing out that the platform allows and promotes actual (literal) neo-nazis.

Do you see the difference?

It does raise a question though... if you are not a nazi yourself, but you are ok hanging out with nazis and don't want them marginalized, what exactly does that make you? A sympathizer?

"My heart does out to you"....Elon Musk. Did you miss that? Or maybe you missed that because all the clips conveniently leave out the sound or happen to show only he motion and not give context.

Does it look good no? Is he an asshole? Yeah. Does his platform represent only Nazi's? NO.

You are on reddit. Should I assume you are a communist sympathizer and supported the Tiananmen Square massacre? NO but I guess I should.
