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.
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.
Yes. Fuck giving them traffic, and you have to log in to view parts of it anyway - screenshots are better if truly needed.
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
Just screenshot it. I want nothing to do with that cesspool.
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.
Twitter no longer exists.
But X links should, indeed, be banned.
The playstation community just did.
And nothing of value was lost.
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.
Anything worth any value on Twitter will be reported on by another source. Link to those if you want corroborating evidence. The point is to not give the Nazis the traffic at all.
Yeah anything posted to Twitter should be taken with a massive grain of salt anyway, so it doesn’t really matter if it’s a screenshot or a direct link, it should only be considered a hint of something maybe true but never as proof.
Yes
Of course, we need the echo chamber to feel more like an echo chamber, you know?
Yes
yep
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?
