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.

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.

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

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.

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

[–] logging_strict@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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 month 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 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Clearly marked and qualified it as just my opinion

Will survive someone disagreeing with you.

[–] FreudianCafe@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month 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

[–] legionguy@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month 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

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

Yes.

Add youtube and, facebook to that list

[–] glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

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

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.

[–] JOMusic@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Sooo.. after hearing what he just said at the AfD rally, I take this back. Block that cursed shit.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month 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.

Dooooo itttt!

I responded yes in the other thread.

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

I'm glad to hear

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Slippery slope of censorship. Where would it stop?

[–] logging_strict@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

with a federated linked network of social media sites run by it's users

[–] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

what if there became a Nazi ran Mastodon or pixelfed or Lemmy instance?

[–] logging_strict@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Was presented with this question. Lets simplify it and remove the spin.

Are you ok with your enemy using the software you've published?

I quickly answered, yes! It's open source. This must include enemies

Similar to free speech, censorship aside, if not willing to defend essholes being essholes then don't really have free speech

Linus Torvalds slipped, tossing Russian maintainers. Politicizing open source makes it open for some, but not for others.

Which is a real dilemma cuz i hate everyone equally

To answer your question, the fediverse welcomes Nazi fascists commis gays whatever running instances. If don't like the instance moderators can always jump on another instance. And instances owners do not federate with instances they don't like.

... and the world goes on just fine

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

The way I see it, the slippery slope that we're currently on is tolerating nazis and bigots.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

... does ML still block curse words?
