Summary
Elon Musk privately pressured Reddit CEO Steve Huffman to address content moderation after publicly criticizing Reddit on X for banning links and allegedly hosting violent content.
Shortly after Musk’s messages, Reddit imposed a 72-hour ban on the “WhitePeopleTwitter” subreddit, citing violent content, and deleted a thread Musk highlighted.
Reddit denies external influence but acknowledges evaluating reports seriously.
The controversy stirred discussions among Reddit moderators, some mocking Musk as a “giant baby.” Musk has not commented on the situation.
It’s just gas lighting. Maybe there are people that might agree with it because “it’s documented”, the sort of people that do their “due diligence” by watching Fox. It’s just BS with crap sprinkles on it.
“Do the research.”
And their research is some memes and what they heard on a couple fascist podcasts.
