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

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

no. but I hope the software increasingly gives power doward. block at every level for the individual. block keywords. follow other uses blocklists. etc. and communities should decide at that level but ideally at the highest level you want no interferance.

It would be nice to have more curation control as a user.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 6 points 1 week ago

I never click them anyway. If the meme isn't wild enough to get pixelated into a shitpost gif then I don't need to see it. Not once in my lifetime have I ever clicked a Twitter/Facebook/Instagram link and thought that the click was worth it.

[–] krash@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

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.

Stop asking and just ban it already

As a source for OC art and pics? No

As a URL in post? Yes

If you dont like X posts, you can not open X links. But dont make others unable to view it if they want

i respect your opinion, your right to have an opinion, glad you shared your opinion, glad to read opposing opinions, Glad your opinion was not suppressed or censored or shadow banned, that someone having purchased access doesn't drown out your opinion, and others refrained from ganging up to suppress the opposing view.

Sometimes in echo chambers the opposing opinion turns out to be right.

This is not one of those cases. <-- my opinion position

But i really liked that you posted and the opposing opinion was given a fair access to eye balls

[–] FreudianCafe@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I said that if you dont agree with something, thats ok but dont take it away from other people. You said that same thing, but also that im wrong. Thats interesting

[–] logging_strict@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Clearly marked and qualified it as just my opinion

Will survive someone disagreeing with you.

[–] FreudianCafe@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

I just pointed that its interesting that you agreed with me and said that i was wrong at the same time. Really dont care if you agree or not

Yes. Mostly because it's difficult to view the full content without logging in, and I refuse to do that on principle. Screenshots and mirrors are fine, I just don't think we should be generating traffic to that site.

[–] Arehandoro@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yes. Not only from Twitter, though. Spotify gave money to Trump's inauguration. So did Google, and Amazon.

Do you think Lemmy should act like Meta, which banned Pixelfed links and Mastodon instances?

No. Banning any kind of link is bad. People should decide themself if they want to follow a link. Extensions like the firefox extension redirector even allow to redirect to archive websites directly, to preserve sources of knowledge while avoiding the mainstream platform of the link.

[–] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yes.

Add youtube and, facebook to that list

[–] JOMusic@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think both Twitter and Musk are incredibly toxic for society, but we don't want to set that precedent. People can make their own choice whether to visit the site. At most, links to Twitter should be flagged as such.

I responded yes in the other thread.

[–] airportline@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'm glad to hear

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

There are still some anti empire posts on X.

Does Musk want us to brigade his threads? I guess if it sells more Tide then probably, but I've never seen an ad on X.

[–] legionguy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

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
