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.

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.

There's always xcancel. Does that not solve most people's concern?

Block them. If they have something interesting or important to say, just quote it. Don't send them even more traffic and attention.

Difficult question to answer.

  • things happen on Twitter / Threads / Gab/ etc that are important/worth hearing about , or at least interesting, but
  • I do not wish to send any traffic to these sites
  • and definitely do not wish them making any money from my traffic

In the end I think we should not forbid or block, but be much more careful what we share from those sites. I also think it’s important - very important - to make any competing social media much more interesting to people wanting to be involved and kept up to date. How, I don’t know either but we shouldn’t be too strict on eg Bluesky, rather cooperate or something.
