Yep similar to reddit going on a banning spree of subs critical of Musk right now. Speak up and you go out of business. Everyone’s in a heads down situation hoping they aren’t noticed.

Please do correct me if I'm wrong, but the only subreddit I heard was banned was WhitePeopleTwitter, and that was because there were comments doxxing and implying or directly calling for violence against the Tesla/SpaceX engineers Musk is using to "audit" the OPM, and the mods were doing little to nothing to stop it.

  No a few transgender subs as well. There’s also a massive ban wave of any sub reddit says is unmoderated which they claim to be unrelated but timing… https://www.reddit.com/r/BannedSubs/ https://www.reddit.com/r/BannedSubs/

That's how the Nazis took over Germany. Everybody kept their heads down.

  The question remains of what one could do at this point that would have any impact.

    > There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious — makes you so sick at heart — that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all.

      Unfortunately we've spent the better part of a century brainwashing a majority of our population to believe that this is "communism" and thus inherently evil in all regards, no matter what. I'm honestly not sure if things can get bad enough for a general American revolt. I think we've pushed that threshold so far back that the people won't do anything until the country is well past the tipping point of total collapse. I'm happy to be wrong, but living in America, you develop a very low opinion of Americans.

    the US has more civilians with guns than any other country, by a wide margin, and was founded in a violent revolution. Musk and Co. are betting on people to stay home and not get involved, and if they do, that they'll be peaceful protests that can be ignored. because they will ignore them, basically. shit, even the Jan 6th coup protesters killed a cop and assaulted others.
