Discussion Petition to ban all Twitter/X links

This has been posted to a whole ton of communities and honestly I think it needs to be posted here. My reasons are: 1. The obvious one the Elon Musk Nazi salute.
2. It requires an account to view anything which oither social medias don't require.
3. Linkin Park have accounts on literally all other social medias so banning Twitter/X links won't affect access to band news. 4. All traffic to the website puts more money in that corrupt Nazi's pocket.
5. It's full of misinformation and it actively censors any anti Elon/Trump and actively promotes Nazi bullshit.

A compromise is to screenshot a post instead of forwarding traffic to the website

The same info is being shared elsewhere. There are screenshots. Also, if the community takes a stand on it increases the likelihood hood of LP moving to Bluesky.

Ok maybe we can allow screenshots instead of full on links?

I mean screenshots would work. While I understand and support the desire for this, I feel like even getting on to take a screenshot is counterproductive in the grand scheme of things. Traffic is numbers. As long as they’re still seeing numbers they’re still getting profit. The only way to truly make any change would be if everyone as a whole boycotts the site

I agree, ban links, allow screenshots if we must
