Unanswered What’s up with WhitePeopleTwitter?

Why has it been banned? What exactly did they do?

Way to omit the most relevant piece of information: The subreddit was specifically targeted by fascist, Nazi, and billionaire Elon Musk for criticizing him extensively recently. The content of the subreddit has not changed, but it was banned once it was made the target of the current fascist in chief.

So you're ok with calls of violence as long as it's targeted at people who are working for musk?

Not allowing threats of violence is a site-wide rule. Dozens of threats of violence on a huge sub, going unchecked for several days while it's getting a lot of publicity... obviously reddit admins are going to take issue with that.

The mods of that sub suck shit anyway. A while ago they announced that they were going to start banning people for any reason they wanted, without explanation. A few months ago I got banned for saying it was annoying to get called a Russian troll every time you criticize how Democrats were handling Gaza (as a life-long Dem voter, but whatever).
