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.
Haha that’s amazing! If your interested i got an full list of all email addresses of the Doge team, but I can’t post pictures in the comments yet, my account is not old enough. Edward.H.Coristine@doge.eop.gov this is the adress of “Big Balls”
My PC and internet bandwidth have limits, you know :) I will run Big Balls for a bit though…
