A lot of subreddits are banning/proposing to ban X links in response to FΓΌhrer Elon's wonderful gesture of love and tolerance. Should this instance follow suit?

Also, Instagram/Threads/Meta links. Same question.

Stop asking and just ban it already

Yes. Not only from Twitter, though. Spotify gave money to Trump's inauguration. So did Google, and Amazon.

Yes. Mostly because it's difficult to view the full content without logging in, and I refuse to do that on principle. Screenshots and mirrors are fine, I just don't think we should be generating traffic to that site.

If you dont like X posts, you can not open X links. But dont make others unable to view it if they want

i respect your opinion, your right to have an opinion, glad you shared your opinion, glad to read opposing opinions, Glad your opinion was not suppressed or censored or shadow banned, that someone having purchased access doesn't drown out your opinion, and others refrained from ganging up to suppress the opposing view.

Sometimes in echo chambers the opposing opinion turns out to be right.

This is not one of those cases. <-- my opinion position

But i really liked that you posted and the opposing opinion was given a fair access to eye balls

does not make any sense to ban if you dont want x link just dont open it but letting data to not flow on instance and instead using screenshot will just decrease the storage

Do you think Lemmy should act like Meta, which banned Pixelfed links and Mastodon instances?

Yes.

Add youtube and, facebook to that list

No. Banning any kind of link is bad. People should decide themself if they want to follow a link. Extensions like the firefox extension redirector even allow to redirect to archive websites directly, to preserve sources of knowledge while avoiding the mainstream platform of the link.

I think both Twitter and Musk are incredibly toxic for society, but we don't want to set that precedent. People can make their own choice whether to visit the site. At most, links to Twitter should be flagged as such.

Sooo.. after hearing what he just said at the AfD rally, I take this back. Block that cursed shit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

There are still some anti empire posts on X.

Does Musk want us to brigade his threads? I guess if it sells more Tide then probably, but I've never seen an ad on X.
