Yes... we should probably ban Xitter links... but maybe allow other front ends? You know, because screenshots can be forged.

Automatically replace them with xcancel links or something.
Do you think Lemmy should act like Meta, which banned Pixelfed links and Mastodon instances?

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.
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.
PLEASE
Dooooo itttt!
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.
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.

what the actual fuck
Anything from US media should be banned as well. The US created nato using a lot of high-level nazi party members. It supports nazi collaborator Banderaists in Ukraine.
I agree, the US media isnt as bad as nazi germany, its worse!
Not all US media is the same. You have to look at the structure of ownership, political pressure, advertising, and income. Treating reporters differently based on their nationality is not a good precedent to set. We need a variety of perspectives from every country, including independent media such as NPR and Wikipedia, both of which are founded in the US but provide information not on just the US but also stories around the world. No superpower, whether China, Russia, or the US should get to control the narrative. The real goal is to unite the working class against all authoritarian-capitalist-oligarchical regimes. Don't feed into Russia's anti-NATO justification for the Ukraine war. Not because I'm pro-NATO. Not because I don't believe the US has a Nazi problem (I do). I just recognize crypto-Putin apologia when I see it. I hope working people in Ukraine and Russia will both be free someday from the influence of superpowers, dictators, and billionaires.
Not all US media is the same.
You're right, some of it tells you to vote for the red team, the other tells you to vote for the blue team.
Slippery slope of censorship. Where would it stop?
with a federated linked network of social media sites run by it's users
what if there became a Nazi ran Mastodon or pixelfed or Lemmy instance?

FFS i come here to lemmy to escape this censorship delirium. If you are just going to be "reddit at home" might as well have actual reddit
I don't think you should do this, so what makes you better than them? π€·ββοΈ [About blocking pixelfed mentions on META]

Fuck no, great way to alienate yourselves, stifle platform growth and decrease content/engagement
