ADL said the posts were "irresponsible, dangerous and antisemitic."
But not the actual nazi salute? They should give us some guidelines like: nazi speech is bad, and genocide and nazi salute is good.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a nonprofit focused on combating antisemitism, defended tech billionaire Elon Musk’s “awkward” gesture during a Monday celebratory event which some critics panned as a fascist salute.
“This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety,” the ADL wrote in a Monday post on Musk’s social platform X. “It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.”
From the Hill if anyone else wanted to know more.
"delicate moment" 🥴
Say what you want about Hitler, but at least he killed Hitler.
Yeah, but he also killed the guy who killed Hitler, so it balances out.
He also killed the guy who killed the guy who killed hitler
Taking the limit of the partial sum of Hitler killings we find that he killed half a Hitler, so he's morally in the black.
But if we also include all the times that he didn't kill Hitler, then he actually killed two thirds of a Hitler
What's the point of pretending or trying to hide it anymore? Their policies are blatant and so is the rhetoric, they might as well own it.
They survive on lies. They're compulsive liars. What you're proposing, is something that a person with a normal mind would do. These aren't normal people, and they do not think like you. They get caught in lies every single day. Why don't they own up to every single lie that they told?!? Oh, that's right, they're fucked in the head.
Maga are brain dead sheep.
Well, for one, they know they're lying but they don't care. It's a tactical advantage for them to lie because a lot of people aren't going to know.
If you're pretty smart, imagine being drunk. All the time. Just moderately sloshed. That's what I think it's like for an average , kind of stupid , person. Poor memory, surges of emotions, incoherent thought. And they can't ever sober up.
As someone who is 7 years sober from alcoholism, that comparison hit really hard and makes more sense than it should. It's nothing short of insanity.
Haha, I almost ate the oni–
What do you mean that's a BBC article?
Nazi muskrat told the people who do actual work that he didn't want the AI to be woke, and to make it extremely conservative. So they programmed it with all of Adolf Hiter's hate books, hate speeches, and all other nazi propaganda that they could find.
Now it praises Hitler, just like Nazi musk wanted it to. That's extreme conservatism. It always has been.
This is why you can never, ever, ever trust an AI. Someone just slides all the levers, deletes the old data, enters new data, and you have an AI Hitler lover. Tomorrow? Who knows.
Not surprising if the thing was trained on Twitter posts/comments.
Oops! Schnell! Schnell!
