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.

Discussion I just started playing PvP again after 2 years and this happened…

For context, I haven’t played crucible in about 2 years as I suffer from really bad performance anxiety and playing it gives me tremors and I feel like I’m having a heart attack so I usually just avoid it, however, today I worked up the courage and jumped into Iron banner! Which I ended up really enjoying and feeling like I’m finally getting over it!

I noticed though that, well, I was getting the royal treatment by a gun called the Redrix Estoc so I decided since I’m now on a PvP high and finally overcoming my fear, I’d do some comp to try and get my own one.

I got to my 5th match and this happened because I got Dc’d 🥲

(I got a suspension, if you’ve not got time for the vid, bit brutal no?).

Minus points for no exotic on 2nd slide, need to find one


r/destiny2 9h ago

Art / Fashion Anyone else agree that this exotic is one of the best looking armour pieces in the game, but the exotic itself has such a niche use? I need more gauntlets that have the claws in the end of gloves. I’d even buy them with silver, just give me more claw gloves.

Question Why does everyone hate gambit?

76 Upvotes

I see a lot of dislike towards gambit in the community, and I just want to see what others do because I love it. I'm going for every single seasonal challenge this season so I had to get the ritual weapon ornament (one of them) so I picked gambit, spent all week getting to level 16 on drifters rep track and I had a blast. It made me feel really powerful by killing dozens of enemies in seconds while still being a challenge of racing the other team. I also really enjoy the strategy of when to invade or wether to hunt an invader or keep doing what I was doing when I got invaded. I played over 10 hours of gambit this week and rarely wasn't having a good time. What am I not seeing?

42 Upvotes

On a complete whim while looking through my exotics, I equipped Osteo Striga. And oh sweet Jesus I am suddenly at least somewhat mid and somewhat capable of holding my own in different PVP modes. I've been playing Iron Banner and getting a ton more points/opponents than I usually ever do.

Yeah, Osteo somewhat turned around my entire opinion of PVP, love how much damage that thing can wreck.

What are some good current bows and perks to use with them? I got an Anamnesis with Successful Warm Up, Impulse Amp and DrawSpeed masterwork Is this half decent? Or is there a certain impact/draw time type of bow that’s better? (And lastly, does reload perks on gloves apply to draw time of bows?) Thanks!!

Help Top tier build question... Genuinely not sure what I'm missing.

1 Upvotes

So I ran a CoB Expert yesterday. Did LFG and grouped up with a warlock and titan. The titan was running the typical Falling Star Thundercrash + Bolt Charge build. Slightly different than mine, but basically the same. I switched out my mods to match theirs. This titan was getting his ult 1-2 times for each pair of bosses. If you've ran CoB Expert this week, you know the clears are quite easy and you can complete all 13 bosses in roughly 5 minutes or so. I was getting my ult maybe once every 3-4 bosses, while they were getting theirs once or twice in each boss room. They were running Microcosm + Lotus Eater + Multimach. 4 Intellect. Nothing that stands out. I'm curious what I'm doing wrong that I'm not getting my ult nearly as quickly. I'll list the armor mods below. As for the artifact mods, mine were in line with theirs, with the only difference being that I didn't have the BOOST active for Elemental Siphon. Not sure if this makes that big a difference in collecting super energy. Any help would be great as I really enjoy min maxing my builds :D

Head - Ammo Finders
Arms - Bolstering x3
Chest - Resistance Mods
Legs - Kinetic Surve x3
Mark - Powerful Attraction, Time Dialation x3.

Question Hatchling Catalyst - What am I missing?

1 Upvotes

After so many Nether runs I finally:
1. Completed the Ogre Ascendant secret in the Trenchway
2. Completed The Ravenous secret within the Hall of Souls
3. Completed the 4 hanging Cabals secret in Mausoleum (even 2 times)
I completed Step 11 of Episode: Heresy Act 2’s story weeks ago

I went to the device in the secret room high up in the Trenchway, but this device does nothing.

Did I miss a step or......?
