Hello r/SteamDeck community!
As you may have seen a lot of on Reddit in the past day, certain events have caused a lot of controversy regarding X, and Elon Musk’s perceived antisemitism, support of white supremacy and his highly controversial Nazi salute several days ago. The choice to ban these links on r/SteamDeck is not politically motivated. Anyone of any political leaning, is not prevented from posting and commenting on r/SteamDeck as it is an explicitly non-political subreddit. However, r/SteamDeck does not, and will not tolerate sending traffic to a website with direct connections to nazism, antisemitism, racism, or other bigotry.
This will make very little change in the day to day content on r/SteamDeck as direct links to X were rare. And after further discussion, screenshots from X that are important and on-topic to the Steam Deck are allowed, as they are not sending traffic to X.
The majority of the subreddit was in favor of this change, which is a very minor one, but one that was for the best of the community.
