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

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

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

I'd be more than happy to see all links pointing to xitter banned. FB/Meta would be nice too, but I think it's more important to sending a clear signal on neo-nazi salutes being a red line.
