I’m not sure if this is the best place for this post, I’m just curious to see what everybody else thinks.
It seems like a lot of communities (outside lemmy) have had enough and are banning twitter links after Elons recent Nazi salute.
Yes they should be banned
Yes. Fuck giving them traffic, and you have to log in to view parts of it anyway - screenshots are better if truly needed.
No, lemmy.world should not censor itself. I can decide for myself which link I click on. If people think they have to link to Twitter, then let them do it. I will never do that and I will never follow Twitter links. But I would still like to be able to do so on principle.
Just screenshot it. I want nothing to do with that cesspool.
No. As much as I disagree with giving them traffic, they do allow for context if someone wants to divulge. Can we ban them from the main post link and have them in the description of the post?
I don’t have an account and musk stopped letting people without accounts read twitter links a while ago
Yes. Twitter has nothing of value left to offer the world. Anyone who’s still on that platform is either not paying attention or supports neo Nazis.
Direct xitter links? Yes. Ban them. They bring no value a a screenshot couldn’t provide.
Screenshots can, have been, and will be doctored. Sometimes you read somrthing so insane, you gotta check the source. Except finding anything on that shithole of a site is painful, especially if you don’t have an account, quadruply so on mobile.
Both would be a nice compromise.
The playstation community just did.
And nothing of value was lost.
Yes
Yes
Twitter no longer exists.
But X links should, indeed, be banned.
If the Musknazi wants you to call it X, YOU FUCKIN CALL IT TWITTER
I’m not a .world local if that matters, but yes.
Why not just post screenshots? Not give anyone reason to accidentally give them traffic. People can still see what you wanted, win win
If Lemmy doesn’t, who will?
Of course, we need the echo chamber to feel more like an echo chamber, you know?
