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.
Yep got a temp 3 day ban on reddit just saying that let’s hope the masked police don’t mess up with someone who has conceal carry license… that is all I said, then boom temp ban.
Reddit is compromised.
during the purge on feb 13 is when all my accounts got hit. 1 temp ban for reporting too much, and then suddenly all 5+ accs i barely used were banned.
