On Twitter/X Links
This post is from the /r/angelsbaseball subreddit.
I am requesting feedback from subscribers on the possibility of banning Twitter/X links from the subreddit.
Recently many subreddits, including many subreddits like /r/baseball https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/1i6l2mj/meta_poll_regarding_the_use_of_twitterx_on/ are considering or have already banned Twitter/x.com links.
Some of the reasons considered:
-
X links are not accessible logged out.
-
Controversy about the ownership by Elon Musk
-
Recent video of Elon doing a Nazi salute/badly pointing his arm (this is as neutral I can write this)
-
Increasing viability of alternative Bluesky
-
Ability to screenshot posts, which is more accessible
Drawbacks:
-
Many sports journalists post to Twitter
-
Screenshots may not give context or updates to posts.
Please share your thoughts.
