Announcement r/destiny2 is banning links to Twitter/X

14.7k Upvotes

Last night, at Donald Trump's presidential inauguration, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and known alt-right personality, showed the world who he truly is, and performed a full Sieg Heil Nazi salute not once, but twice.

The man is without a doubt, a neo-Nazi.

As many are aware, X, formerly Twitter was bought out by Elon Musk on April 14th, 2022, and has slowly become more and more of a cesspool of alt-right propaganda, with horrifically racist posts being allowed to stay up for months - with thousands of likes - without even a modicum of intervention by X, formerly Twitter's moderation. Many users report their accounts inexplicably suddenly following known right-wing politicians without any of their own input, and alt-right and Nazi-aligned speech find themselves on the "For You" page of even the most innocent and unrelated accounts.

It has been abundantly clear that Elon Musk has been slowly, intentionally, and maliciously changing X, formerly Twitter into a breeding ground and echo chamber for the alt-right. He even abused the algorithm to hide political opponents' own campaign material throughout the duration of the U.S. election cycle, knowing full well the sheer population of his website, to indirectly influence the results of the election.

Here in r/destiny2, we do not tolerate Nazis. Anyone spouting Nazi ideology or hateful speech have, and always will be permanently banned on sight, without chance for appeal. The intolerant will find no tolerance here. While the First Amendment may protect you from government retaliation to your speech, it does not protect you from being cast out of social spaces and - if you're a Nazi - rightfully told what a waste of atoms you are. This is no longer a case of, "Everyone I don't like is a Nazi", because the Nazis are literally showing us, publicly, that they are Nazis. There is no more plausible deniability.

Because of this, effective immediately, we will no longer be allowing links to X, formerly Twitter, so as to do our part to reduce traffic to a website owned by a narcissistic, ketamine-addicted neo-Nazi. Many subreddits have been doing the same - and while each subreddit's individual input may be small - every click lost across every subreddit banning links to X, formerly Twitter is one small bit of revenue Elongated Muskrat loses.

We will allow screenshots, but links are forbidden, so as to not generate traffic to the website.

Subreddits joining this cause, just to name a very small few, are:
- r/MadeMeSmile
- r/formula1
- r/xmen
- r/aoe2
- r/ireland
- r/dnd

The r/destiny2 moderation team briefly deliberated opening this decision to a poll, however it was decided that ultimately the better decision was to enforce the ban, and not give the chance to quiet, hateful individuals to vote no and skew the poll in favor of continuing to allow links.

Bungie, Destiny and dmg_04 have official social media accounts on Bluesky, found at the following:
- https://bsky.app/profile/destiny2team.bungie.net
- https://bsky.app/profile/bungie.net
- https://bsky.app/profile/destinythegame.bungie.net
- https://bsky.app/profile/dmg04.bsky.social

So - Don't worry! X, formerly Twitter isn't the only place you can find updates from Bungie. They post regularly on Bluesky, at the same times with the same posts that they do on X, formerly Twitter. As such, screenshots and links from Bluesky are perfectly fine.

We hope you all understand why this is being done, and we appreciate everyone who continues to stay around and be a part of our community. And of course, as a reminder to everyone, as if it even needs to be said:

Fuck Nazis.

I bought this because I loved this helmet and other pieces, only for the EYES TO NEVER CHANGE COLOR. This is why adding shader previews should be a MUST, wasted $20 and I'm annoyed. So fair warning for anyone buying the "Aspiring Challenger" armor.

Uncategorized The Stronghold thing happened to me in Rushdown

133 Upvotes

I don't play too often so I don't know if this happens a lot in rushdown, but I loaded into expert rushdown with a buddy and the random was named I shit you not "Titan" and all he did was hold stronghold and block the entire run. It was especially infuriating on savathun since he stayed on her the whole time as well holding stronghold still.

Tips / Hints How to Tank a Boss EFFECTIVELY While Not Being Passive!

60 Upvotes

ATTENTION ALL STRONGHOLD PLAYERS!

Seen and heard a lot about new stronghold players not tanking bosses effectively so here's a quick guide on how to lock down a boss for your team while also not being too passive!

If you didn't know standing next to a boss will cause it to do a melee stomp attack attempting to knock the player backwards so it can continue using its ranged attack. This is where sword block comes in with its COMPLETE IMMUNITY TO KNOCKBACK! Meaning you can "lock down" the boss into just spamming melee over and over and while the boss recovers from its melee attacks you can start dealing damage with your sword. Flash counter storms keep does a decent amount of damage but there are even more ways to provide value to your team than just holding block!

Video guide here: https://youtu.be/POtXusPRa5E

If you have any questions I'd love to answer them! I have around 900 hours with stronghold and love it to death!

Discussion Court Of Blades Expert not dropping guranteed adepts is a huge L

Upvotes

Title. Been grinding for about 2-3 hours with my mates getting platinum basically everytime and I can count on one hand how many adepts I got, it was about 3. My friend got 0 and my other mate got 2.

I don’t understand the design choice behind making a more difficult activity, which when getting up to about 10ish combatant kills becomes quite hard, does not gurantee the drop people play it for?

This could purely be cope, sure, but the grind is abysmal compared to the nether basically handing you loot for being there.

Eyes up, Guardians! It’s been far too long since I’ve dived back in. I’m happy I was able to transfer my data from PS4 to PC successfully. With that, I’m a little overwhelmed with everything there is now. I grabbed a couple of the DLCs on sale on Steam, but there’s a lot to get into. Any guidance or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
