The Agora
In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.
Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.
You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.
Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

I don't think an instance-level ban is necessary at this stage, ever since thinking more about it after a similar discussion on a .ml post.
What I'd much prefer to see is a move on the part of users to use alternate methods for sharing Twitter content: links to reputable archive services or alternate frontends for Twitter (I lack a lot of knowledge in this area, but xcancel stuff, whatever libredirect does, etc.), or screenshots. In this order. Sometimes something comes up in the Twitterverse that is worthy of sharing, where pointing to the source is important for verification. But there are steps that can satisfy that without necessarily direct linking to Twitter, or that being presented as the only access medium to other users.
I'd think about this more at the level of courtesy (or good sh.it.iquette, if you will) than a hard rule. Won't get your comment/post deleted if there's no community rule but will have someone jump in with a not-direct-to-Twitter link/pic and some light (I'd hope) ribbing.
I support any community that makes it a hard rule at the community level, though. And if it came to pass at the instance level it's not like I'd leave sh.itjust.works over it - I can't see Twitter posts anyway, just a log in screen.
