In fairness I don’t see a lot of Twitter links in general here with or without a ban. Most people use xcancel when they have to and have no other option.

I wonder how long their corporate overlords will allow this to continue.
Twitter probably benefits from people being redirected to their site from repostings with how it has become the go to source for news like sports, so it might. Won’t hurt Elon financially but less people being exposed to the content there that Elon wants to push that don’t actively use Twitter is a good thing even if it is only a few.
Even small moves is a good thing with how over the years sports and game submissions have become increasingly more Twitter submissions.
The less its posts are shared, the less its relevance is to the world. I can’t see that as a bad thing. It always baffled me how outsize Twitter’s influence was on world events/news while having 1/5th the active userbase of Facebook.

Wow, leave it to redditors to make change without actually making change. A few of those subs had open discussions on instituting a ban and they discovered x links were in the dozens per year. Musk is definitely gonna feel that. What they should have done is ban all twitter images as well, those fuckers make up 3/4 of posts on /r/popular. Or ban/restrict musk news, because it feels like the remainng 1/4 posts are “news” that cover musk, including dozens of discussions on whether the nazi cheated in fucking videogames or not ( same as here come to think of it ).

I get it, why give him any attention. But this is not about him–it’s about the protest this time. That’s fine by me, let’s get people going!
Good idea. We should do this here.
Assume a single instance should be able to do this no? If so, kind of sad that I don’t think any have that I am aware of.
/c/Playstation has, and lemmy.world has asked users if they should as a sticky.
Would much prefer users and instance admins to have better filtering tools.

I mean, both of u are right
No again, what got Trump elected was a complacency that the population was at heart clear thinking and aware of the exploits of the world.
Incrementalists learn like they do anything else: they fucking don’t.
Democrat complacency in their politicians gave us trump, as much as Hillary Clinton did.
What got us a second Trump term was the Dems acting like they are owed votes, instead of acting like they need to earn votes.
So… what?
In your ideal world nazi sites wouldn’t be blocked?
What are you even arguing here?
There is no world in which refusing to use a site run by a nazi is a bad thing.
I’m arguing liberals have the memory of a goldfish and will forget it the next time something else comes up. This is #resist 2.0, purely performative.
Still better than nothing. I don’t see how complaining about a good thing gets us anywhere. And also it screams bad mental health. You ok, bro?
