Reddit won’t interfere with users revolting against X with subreddit bans

Quick Summary:

Hundreds of Reddit communities are currently considering disallowing X.

Reddit users in support of X bans like the one instituted by r/londonontario have pointed to various reasoning, including not being able to see tweet links without having an X account, Elon Musk appearing to make a Nazi salute at the presidential inauguration on Monday (as cited by r/Christianity’s and r/newjersey's bans, for example), and general dislike for Musk and/or how he runs X.

Reddit is staying out of the current revolt against social media website X and, to a lesser degree, Meta, on its platform.
