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.
Flying Squid has disappeared the past month. Very active user. I am worried.
He achieved the new american dream of leaving the US. Hopefully he’ll resume posting again once he’s settled.
I mean. He might just be flying around somewhere.
With the previous frequency of comments/posts, and everything else going on, I hope flyingsquid is taking the time to relax.
He recently moved apparently, so probably just busy with life stuff?
Oh that’s good to know. I know there were health issues. That concerned me. He’ll be back later then I’m sure.
I’ve had him blocked for a while and it is still plenty active here for me.
