So due to the subject matter of this sub we have really never had to deal with Twitter posts. However, I feel that we need to take a public stand regarding the actions of Elmo on Monday afternoon.

Therefore in order to do so, this sub will officially not accept any Twitter posts. And it will also not accept any X posts.

And here is a thing: anyone who wants to test this theory in this sub will be perma-banned with no warning. If you see a Twitter or X sourced post here, PLEASE REPORT IT MULTIPLE TIMES.

Call it 'censorship' if you want to. I prefer to use the term 'keeping the sub clear of scum'. We have had literal Nazis post here in the past, and I was all too happy to remove them for good. I will be overjoyed to do it again.

Now go out and staple bread to a tree and tell a Nazi to fuck off.

UPDATE:

It has been pointed out that this is something of a strange place to be talking about politics. No shit. I am 100% in no way whatsoever thinking that this ban on Twitter/X posts will have any measurable effect on the situation of the world.

It has also been suggested that I personally am doing this to reap Reddit karma. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have a combined total of over 800,000 Comment and Post karma to date. That is not the flex you may be thinking it is. Reddit karma is worthless. The only thing that it has ever gotten me directly is an invite to those Uber Secret Top Level subreddits dedicated to high karma types. And trust me, those subs are rife with circle jerking. But I digress.

But it is A Good Thing to call out evil where it exists. Can this sub call out all evil? Of course not. But we can call out the evil that we see. And if more people every day call out the evil that they see, maybe something will be done about it. Maybe. And when the last Nazi is thrown into a ditch, someone somewhere will say 'Thank God for BreadStapledToTrees for telling me about how bad Nazis are'. And if you think I am serious about that statement then maybe this whole internet thing just isn't for you.

If you disagree with our attitude about Elmo's little rant on TV the other night, fine. You are free to talk about it. But not in this sub. And yes that might feel a little disingenuous or unfair. And you would be correct in a way. Because mods are free to make rules that 5% of the users do not like. Or 50% of the users. Or yes, even 100% of the users. Because anyone who does not like that rule is more than free to go start their own sub with blackjack, hookers, and rules that they like.

So to anyone reading this that thinks that was not a Nazi salute in any way at all, either post some bread stapled to a tree, or go blab about your interesting political views somewhere else. Or go start /r/IAmALittleNaziBitch and post all about how BreadStapledToTrees mods said mean things that made you cry. I am sure that the crowd you hang out with will commiserate with you. Either way, this is not a sub to discuss the finer points of identifying a Seig Heil salute. Mods here are a simple bunch, they call shit as they see it.

Also, and in closing, please go post some Bread Stapled To A Tree. Because in these trying times, a little harmless chaotic good is what people need to help them get through all the shit.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Locking this thread because some people are asswipes. Now please go staple some bread to a tree.

I love this one. The colors are gorgeous 🥹

Might get fancy and make some Challah to continue the exhibit.

A celebratory staple in honor of us finding our lost dog (:

Their tagine is "Nutrition to power your vibrant lifestyle."

If only they knew...

Hey, everyone (those who are still active, anyways). Just wanted to put out something after seeing the news that Reddit is most likely going to provide subreddits the option in the future to paywall certain content/pages.

We will not be doing this under any circumstances. Stapling bread to a tree should be free (or extremely cheap), and you shouldn’t have to pay to show that off.

I’m sure most of this goes without saying, given the inactivity and the nature of the subreddit itself. I just wanted to give you my word that we will not partake in this if it does in fact happen.

Happy Stapling!
