Since Tuesday, hundreds of subreddits have discussed and/or implemented bans against the site formerly called Twitter, as reported by 404 Media. Dozens of subreddits have already agreed to disallow the sharing of any links to X, with moderators (volunteer Reddit users) agreeing to enforce the bans.

The cascade of link bans on Reddit came after Musk made a hand gesture at a Monday rally that many compared to a Nazi salute.

The Nazi-like salute from Musk during a Trump inauguration event sparks multiple subreddits on Reddit to consider blocking links to X/Twitter.

In the fallout of Elon Musk’s baffling appearance during President Donald Trump’s inauguration, a curious new front in the ongoing online culture war has emerged: a push by Reddit sports mods and users to ban links to X (formerly known as Twitter).

Communities on Reddit are banning links to X following billionaire Elon Musk’s stiff-armed salute on Monday during an inaugural event for President Donald Trump. Countless subreddits, including r/NewJersey, which boasts over 464,000 members, are announcing the new rule change in posts across the platform this week.

Reddit signed deals with Google and OpenAI last year that allows the tech companies to train their AI models on Reddit content.

Musk’s gesture has received mixed reactions from politicians and academics, with some likening it to a Nazi salute and others saying it was an accidental action made in the heat of his victory speech.
