Hundreds of Reddit communities are currently considering disallowing X.

Reddit spokesperson told Ars that decisions to ban or not ban X links are user-driven. Subreddit members are allowed to suggest and institute subreddit rules, they added.
“Notably, many Reddit communities also prohibit Reddit links,” the Reddit representative pointed out. They noted that Reddit as a company doesn’t currently have any ban on
links to X.
A ban against links to an entire platform isn’t outside of the ordinary for Reddit. Numerous subreddits ban social media links, Reddit’s spokesperson said. r/EarthPorn, a subreddit for landscape photography, for example, doesn’t allow website links because all posts “must be static images,” per the subreddit’s official rules. r/AskReddit, meanwhile,
only allows for questions asked in the title of a Reddit post and doesn’t allow for use of the text box, including for sharing links.
“Reddit has a longstanding commitment to freedom of speech and freedom of association,” Reddit’s spokesperson said. They added that any person is free to make or moderate their own community. Those unsatisfied with a forum about Seahawks football that doesn’t have X links could feel free to make their own subreddit. Although, some of the subreddits considering X bans, like r/MadeMeSmile, already have millions of followers.
The Reddit movements reflect a polarized society set into intense discourse amid the presidential election and inauguration of Trump, the growing role of Musk in the US government, and
related policies. Since Reddit is a platform moderated by volunteer users, Redditors will continue to seek control and have much say over how conversations flow on their favorite subreddits.
At this early stage, we don't know if Redditors' efforts will have any significant impact on X, Facebook, Instagram, or its owners, which already have deep relationships with notable parties and whose sites have become information resources that people rely on. The NFL, for instance, has
content deals with X and
Reddit and uses Threads.
The Verge reported today that NFL teams aren’t allowed to have Bluesky accounts, with the NFL having already told the Patriots team to take down its Bluesky account. Many first responder entities
rely on Xfor sharing critical information, too.
