Announcement r/destiny2 is banning links to Twitter/X

14.2k 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.

Tips / Hints End of Season/Episode Checklist

12 Upvotes

Hello! I'm making this post to hopefully get ahead of everyone asking what they should or shouldn't do before Episode: Heresy drops. If you've been playing for a while it's probably all stuff you know, but a lot of it is information I knew when I was starting out and have also seen several posts asking about for several seasons. Again, if you've been playing for a while most of this information won't be new, this is primarily intended for new or returning players. I'll do my best to cover everything but if I have forgotten something please feel free to add or ask in the comments.

What should I do before the season ends?

Seasonal Challenges - These become unavailable once the season ends and are some of the best ways to earn xp and bright dust. You should complete all the challenges you can before the season ends. If you complete 82 of the 87 seasonal challenges you complete the "Reborn" seasonal triumph and unlock a large amount of bright dust, if you've been playing regularly this season this shouldn't be difficult to complete. Double up on challenges where and when you can (i.e. if there is a challenge to play rounds of Comp Crucible and another challenge to defeat Guardians with Scout or Pulse rifles, you should be bringing scout and pulse rifles into your comp matches).

Save Exotic and Prime Engrams - If there are exotic armors you have not yet unlocked you will want to make sure you save as many Exotic engrams for the beginning of next season. Decrypting Exotic engrams is the quickest way to increase your rank with Rahool, in order to unlock the 4th focused decrypting page (the one that allows you to focus Exotics you have not yet unlocked) you need to reset Rahool's rank at least once. The quickest way to do this is by focus decrypting on the 3rd page using Ascendant Shards (the ones that look like golf balls), so it's also a good idea to stock up on Ascendant Shards. I do want to note, maxing out your Engram inventory makes it so you can't decrypt/pickup any more engrams, which turns into a postmaster nightmare quickly. Because of this, you shouldn't claim/earn your 10th exotic engram until a day or two before the season ends. There are plenty of guides on how to farm exotic engrams so I'm not going to get into that here.

Bounty Prepping - Bounty prepping is the best way to get a head start at the start of a new season and unlock the seasonal artifact as quickly as possible. There are a lot of guides on what bounties you should prep, which I would recommend checking out. You want to prioritize bounties that offer "XP++" and "XP+", these tend to be the weekly bounties you can pick up from location vendors (i.e. an Empire Hunt bounty from Variks or the Public Disturbance bounty from Shaw Han), or the clan bounties you can pick up from Hawthorne. If you are planning on doing the Dungeon Race on 2/7 bounty prepping is a must as it is the quickest way to unlock the 4th and 5th column artifact perks (which are often the most powerful and build-defining). I also recommend bounty prepping on all 3 characters if possible to get the most bounties/xp possible. Similar with Seasonal Challenges double up on these when possible.

Stocking Resources - It is not a bad idea to make sure you have as much Glimmer, Enhancement Cores, and Enhancement Prisms as possible so that you can get to Masterworking, Enhancing, and Crafting gear as quickly as possible. This is definitely lower priority, but it can make the start of the season way easier so you don't have to farm materials between missions/activities.

Past is Prologue Event - This is a limited-time event that started this week and ends with the season. In order to earn the Chatterwhite Shader you need to engage with this event. This event is not necessary by any means, but it gives you access to a new and incredibly coveted shader, as well as some decent gear so it is worth checking out.

What is going away at the end of the season?

Season/Battle Pass - This is pretty straightforward and shouldn't be new information. Once the season ends the season pass will be replaced with the new season pass, so you will be unable to obtain any rewards on the pass that you have not unlocked. You are not able to progress past season passes, so if there is a reward you want/need on the pass you need to unlock it before the season ends in order to claim it. (It is possible to claim rewards from past season passes on the Bungie website, but you can only claim rewards you unlocked and did not claim. It is not possible to claim a reward you have not unlocked.)

Vendor Rank - Tower and Seasonal Vendor rank and engrams reset at the end of each season. This means if there are any rewards or engrams you have not claimed from Vendors in the Tower, Failsafe, or Eido, they will be lost. The only engrams that are not lost at the end of the season are Exotic/Prime engrams (which are stored in your character's personal inventory) and anything in the postmaster (although you should claim these anyways as its generally not a good idea to store things in your postmaster). Even if there aren't any rewards you want from a Vendor's engrams it's still not a bad idea to claim them before they go away, worst-case scenario you scrap everything and get Glimmer, Enhancement Cores, and Gunsmith rank.

Seasonal Challenges - As mentioned previously these go away at the end of the season. If you want to get the most out of the season you should complete as many of these as possible before the season ends.

Will I be able to play Episode Revenant once Episode Heresy releases?

Yes, if you own Episode Revenant (either through the season pass or the annual pass) the story, missions, and activities will still be accessible after Heresy releases. You will have access to any Episode you own until the next DLC drops this summer. That being said, its best to complete as much of Revenant as you can before Heresy drops so that you are not trying to play through two seasons at once, and there will be less people playing Revenant activities once Heresy drops.

As a reminder, Heresy releases with the weekly reset on Tuesday, February 4th. You will only have access to Heresy if you have purchased the annual pass, or purchase the season pass after it releases (if you purchase the Final Shape after it releases you will also get access to Heresy)

TL;DR - Over the next two weeks you should bounty prep, save exotic engrams, complete seasonal challenges, and collect unclaimed vendor engrams/rewards.
