According to the outlet, at least 100 subreddits have banned X posts and more than 60 of which have at least 100,000 members. Among the biggest are basketball community r/NBA (over 15million members), female-focused community r/TwoXChromosomes, (14 million members), and r/NFL (12 million members). Others implementing the ban reportedly include fans of football clubs Liverpool, Celtic and Tottenham Hotspur, fans of Formula 1, and fan communities for games including Baldur’s Gate 3 and World of Warcraft. As per BBC, subreddits for communities in New Jersey and South Korea have also blocked posts to X, while moderators of Maine and British Columbia communities shared statements confirming that they will not be taking part.
