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.

    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.
