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.
Yes, ban direct links to twitter.
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.
No, because this :::waves arms maniacally::: is a nothingburger.
:::waves arms maniacally:::
Like this?
:::Waves arms with purpose and intent, twice, just to make sure everyone in attendance could see:::
Yes
Twitter no longer exists.
But X links should, indeed, be banned.
If the Musknazi wants you to call it X, YOU FUCKIN CALL IT TWITTER
That is an excellent point.
Of course, we need the echo chamber to feel more like an echo chamber, you know?
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 they should be banned

Same in English.
同じです、でもに日本語。
blahaj local here, I believe that there is little to be gained from allowing continued linking to these walled gardens (especially since accessing anything on Twitter without an account is more of a hassle than it’s worth.) I think it would be good to cut off the Twitter links, possibly with the rare exception for archive pages deemed able to promote discussion well enough to be worth compromise?
I would say yes at this point, for sure.
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.
Yes. Fuck giving them traffic, and you have to log in to view parts of it anyway - screenshots are better if truly needed.
If Lemmy doesn’t, who will?
