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.

Until spaz says that’s a no go and forces them to allow them. Just don’t use reddit
What a coincidence, I’ve been banning all links to reddit. This is working out great.
Honestly the fact how bad user experience X is for unregistered users should be reason enough to ban links to X.
The experience for unregistered users on Reddit is almost as bad as twitter, I don’t think Reddit cares about that.
We’re spending so much media attention on this Nazi salute that I’m wondering if it may have been the intent all along - tie up media coverage while the Trump administration pushes harmful legislation through under the radar.
Lemmy should do the same.
Are there other sites to which links are banned? I don’t really like that policy for anything no matter how nefarious. Unless it’s malware or a liability and going to land the visitor in prison.
Links to Russian websites and telegram are banned on most of not all subreddits.
That kind of things is part of the reason I came to Lemmy.
The bots are going nuts over there… lol… no way the TOP comments of some of those are legit…
