I get (and agree) with the sentiment but this isn't the place for it, unfortunately.
Based.
As a modteam we are far from perfect, but we don't let this sh*t slide here lmao
Incredible there's not a single normal sub that remains topical and isn't riddled with American political schizophrenia.
There are living, breathing people developing and playing this game that would be executed 80 years ago for the views Elon and X represent. So the answer is no.
Man, can we stop politicizing every subreddit under the sun? What does Twitter have anything to do with Smite video game?
No
Okay but can you do something about the 0-12-3 f7ers?
yea sorry on it
What “shit” are you referring to exactly?
Fascism
cringe actually
cry about it
How will banning links even help the situation or harm Musk? Why should he care? Especially since he bought twitter just for the giggles.
Twitter is bleeding money and the less traffic he gets the more he loses. Also like we just don't want to
But no Palestine flag in the game right?
Bullshit virtue signaling at its finest. Cringe as f**k
Free palestine
While i understand the sentiment, I feel there should be exceptions for the Official Smite/Titan Forge accounts, sometimes they post something, and as i don't go on Twitter/X i see that information here when someone posts it.
Edit: I missed the line about posting screenshots, sorry
No worries - it's a fair concern to raise!
Speaking like this should have you banned on social media, period.
Turns out, it does :)
didnt know so many smite players were fascists, i hate it here
Unfortunately, this is just a representation of a global cultural shift. The world is heading to a bad place and even if this ban does nothing, I refuse to be a part of it.
Oh man you really stuck it to the billionaire, I'm sure he's crying in the shower over this one!
I know this may be a surprise but not everything is about making another person feel bad. Sometimes it's just about not wanting to associate with them
Really showing your age here. Banning twitter is fine. Your replies in here as a moderator, not so much.
Dude if you think I'll spend a second of my day thinking whether I need to be nice to a Nazi supporter or not you're very wrong.
"Leave them aloneeeee, they might want others to die but you don't have to be RUDE."
You’re saying the two people in this particular thread you left rude replies to are nazi supporters, based on them not wanting politics on a videogame subreddit? That’s honestly unhinged.
No I'm saying that because they literally said "I'm a nazi" in their post history (they speak my native language)
Croatian comment? The same comment in which the person immediately said it was a joke? Or another comment?
Yes, that and the homophobia. Also, I'm sure it's a joke, yes, as that's a very reasonable answer to the thread.
Listen, you're welcome to disagree, but question who you wanna associate with lmao
[removed]
I'm not american
Good luck mods you're gonna have a handful
The post could've been locked but genuinely if we can get even a single person on the fence to see why this is wrong, it's a win.
idk what to think anymore
I think Elon's autism took over and he got too excited.
Be better than sharing the excuses to the dogwhistles. If the Neonazis are excited about it, believe them.
also he can definitely tell the difference
Insane levels of cringe from r/smite. Americans truly live an entirely solipsistic existence.
Not american - some things are just human
Lmao mod responded to comment right above me, very easily could have answered my question.
This thread has 300+ comments and I don't have notifications on - I just happened to see the other one when I was doing the moderating.
We have no links to HiRez, and the moderation of this subreddit does not reflect HiRez in any way, positive or negative.
The only thing in this scenario we confirmed with them is the fact that bsky will be getting same posts as the X account, so that we can confidently make the swap. They had nothing to do with this decision.
Completely losing your mind over a 20 second clip of a guy seems quite anti human. I'm not am Elon dick rider by any means but this post reeks of virtue signalling.
Would you do the same if someone wore a swastik? A symbol that conjures polarizing reactions depending on context and where one is from?
Yes lmao, if someone wore a f*cking swastika we would do the same what even is this question.
Don't give me that "oh it's a symbol of peace" bullsh*t go do it in Germany and see how they feel.
Figured my point would completely go over your head.
Swastika is a literal hindu symbol that is outside my house door right now. As a mod of a game that literally has Hindu deities I would expect you to have a little more knowledge on the subject. The west is not the only place on the planet. This is why context matters.
You just proved my point.
Wow you got me there good job. There's a difference between if someone wore it at a conservative rally, and if someone from an old practicing religion did it, and we are all aware of that.
However, the symbol has been used to commit absolute atrocities, so if I see someone who continues to willingly associate with it despite those atrocities, I will indeed think less of you.
I'm not trying to get you or anything. I have no agenda. I hardly even comment on this sub reddit. I have been playing this game for over 12 years and shared my thoughts on what I think is a stupid decision. That's all. Not everything is some one "attacking you" or trying to fish for a "gotcha" moment. The example i gave was to illustrate the slippery slope that exists when nuance and context is thrown out the window.
So if I, a Hindu, were to wear a Swastika, you would think less of me because - check notes - Hitler did it 100 years ago?
Yes - if it was the traditional swastika used by Hitler.
Edit: I want to edit this comment to make what I mean by this perfectly clear for anyone reading this, cause clarity is important. If you're hell bent on wearing/displaying a swastika tilted by 45 degrees with the iconography used by Hitler, I don't trust you. Traditional in my original sentence was supposed to be a substitute for 'iconic', or 'design', I know that the design Hitler used is not the same as the religious symbol. Swastika has a root in religion, but a Nazi salute does not. Bringing the two up together is just using Hinduism as a shield for your dogwhistles.
And remember, they are called dogwhistles because they can be easily excused, and if you call them out they call you the oppressor. Don't fall for their tactics.
End of edit. Like I said, I think this is crucial clarification and I don't plan to leave anything up for interpretation.
😂😂😂 so I have to risk judgement and exclusion because I chose to wear a symbol from my culture that was misappropriated by white people because other white people don't like it? And you guys like to toot your own horn about "inclusivity" and "diversity".
How TF are you for all that when you blanket judge a person for partaking in something that is HIS OWN culture. Make it make sense.
You're making it abundantly clear in these comments that this decision was not based on "humanity".
Hinduism has so many beautiful, gorgeous symbols that represent amazing things without also representing a genocide of millions. Sounds to me like you just wanna wear a swastika.
This has to be the dumbest thing I have seen all week. The ADL did not condemn the salute but a bunch of obsessed Redditors now bar people from posting links from one of the biggest social media platforms.
How laughable.
lol (dropped from 7th place since 2018)
This is the official sub for the game, so yes they are.
That is incorrect. While we can communicate with HiRez, it's important to note that we are community members.
