The largest subreddit focused on PC gaming has imposed a blacklist on X, previously known as Twitter, due to its “hateful, toxic” and “increasingly less regulated” nature. A moderator from /r/pcgaming made the declaration today, assigning Elon Musk’s X to the penalty box, a designation shared with lulz.com, oneangrygamer.net, and animebackgrounds.co.
“This is something we’ve been considering for some time now,” subreddit moderator Shock4ndAwe stated. “X has turned increasingly hateful, toxic, and less moderated. Consequently, we’ve grown uncomfortable linking our subreddit to it for others. Not to mention the distasteful acts Elon Musk has committed recently.”
The moderator likely alludes to Musk’s performance of a Nazi salute during his speech at the inauguration of US President Donald Trump. The world’s richest individual later refuted that the act was a Nazi salute, asserting on X that “the ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired”.
Regardless of whether one accepts it as a Nazi salute or not—and it was—the moderators of /r/pcgaming do not appreciate X’s increasingly chaotic atmosphere, though users will still have the capability to submit screenshots of posts from the platform. “To avoid hampering discussions and enhance user experience, we’re going to allow image posts… and permit content from X to be submitted as a screenshot while also adding this to the exemption list on our original source guideline (which favors source material over pages citing source material). So if you discover a web article that mirrors the content of the tweet, you’re free to link that instead.”
The ironically entertaining aspect of this situation is that the world’s richest person might genuinely take notice. Musk has recently found himself at the center of a controversy regarding boosting accounts in games like Path of Exile 2 and Diablo 4, after viewers perceived the discrepancy between his surprisingly low knowledge of POE 2 and the level 95 hardcore character he was managing. Musk has since acknowledged the act of account-boosting, which breaches the terms of service for both games.
