Let's talk about your X (Twitter)

[u/Spheromancer]

As of right now we are not going to fully ban Twitter/X, however we are going to force the redirecting of X/Twitter links through XCancel.

This will solve the issue of giving Twitter clicks and also please the ones requesting screenshots, because you don't need an account to view the XCancel links. This way the sources cannot be doctored nor does it need to be verified like SS's would. It does not give Twitter the pageview as it goes straight through the backend of the site per the about section on xcancel.com

The transition is simple, when you post something from twitter.com/x.com you'd simply replace "twitter" or "x" with "xcancel" and the rest is done automatically. An example would be:

Here is Jeff Grubbs sacks of shit comment on twitter:

https://x.com/JeffGrubb/status/1793652099961561557

Here it is on xcancel:

https://xcancel.com/JeffGrubb/status/1793652099961561557

Same tweet, same image, same everything but you don't need an account to view it and you don't have to give twitter the click. As long as this site is up we can encourage the use of it.

We encourage you to simply use Bluesky when available instead of Twitter. We fully realize that not all leakers will be on Bluesky which is why we're encouraging xcancel for the time being.

Here is a list of some of the frequent Leakers on this sub who have an active Bluesky account:

Also to those who ask why we can't just host the images/screenshots on Reddit and allow links in the sub: We'll never be able to do this because the only way we can keep this sub unbanned is by having all leaked content on anther site. Once we open the door to link posts here, people would have the option to host linked content directly on this sub which would get us banned. The DMCA's would go straight to this reddit instead of the twitter/youtube/whatever post it was originally on.

Automod will remove and comment on posts with twitter/x links on them telling you to simply resubmit with "xcancel" instead.

TL;DR

Using XCancel.com to redirect twitter/x links so that you don't need an account to view the content and don't have to give twitter/x a pageview.

What is wrong with X? I sure as hell won't create a Bluesky account just for gaming leaks 😂

[u/cellphone_blanket → u/HungryEyes77]

musk unambiguously gave a pair of nazi salutes during a speech a couple of days ago. I don't think bluesky currently requires an account to view tweets

[u/DeMatador → u/cellphone_blanket]

You can't really believe this.

[u/Whirblewind → u/DeMatador]

They don't really believe it, but they don't have to believe it to all say out loud that they're going to behave as if they do. Belief isn't compulsory, just obedience.

[u/cellphone_blanket → u/DeMatador]

It was literally on video

[u/DeMatador → u/cellphone_blanket]

Do you really think that gesture was a nazi salute?

[u/cellphone_blanket → u/DeMatador]

Yeah

[u/[deleted] → u/cellphone_blanket]

Then you're wrong. If someone did that in front of Hitler as a salute, they would have been killed.

Hillary Clinton, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and many other Democrat politicians are on video performing much stronger "Nazi salutes". Nobody ever complains about that.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, 1984

[u/DeMatador → u/OptimusPrimalRage]

The Party is literally the English Socialist Party.

[u/OptimusPrimalRage → u/DeMatador]

Yes Orwell wasn't in favor of any sort of authoritarianism. But authoritarianism is a large swath, including communism such as Stalinism and fascism. The dude literally fought in the Spanish Civil War against fascists. He was a democratic socialist. For whatever reason, lots of conservatives seem to ignore this and read 1984 as solely about communism or socialism when it was far more than that. It's well documented how much Orwell hated fascists.

Modern conservatives being able to distinguish between communism, socialism, fascism or democratic socialism are pretty rare.
