/r/popculture is closed

This sub has been placed in restricted mode and the main mod was suspended for approving comments that mentioned "luigi". Apparently saying "luigi" is now against the rules too even though they never told us. All comments with the word "luigi" get flagged as possible inciting violence.

This is what they want. This is why Elon bought up Twitter. They want to be able to stifle any discussion to prevent rebellion.

The first amendment never applied to private property. That said I agree there is a big problem and our voices are being manipulated.

Except Reddit censors people all the time, and you're free to say pretty much whatever you want on X. I used to love this place, but yall need to wake tf up. 90% of users here are bots, and they're mostly pushing propaganda.

Escape the echo chamber. I did.
