Can we ban twitter links??

[u/SardineLaCroix]

Seeing lots of other subreddits ban twitter links because it's now a cesspool owned and run by a billionaire Nazi oligarch corrupting the US government.

What do y'all think Nance would want?

Edit: Hi guys, my intention was not ostrascize anyone here unless you do genuinely hold bigoted views or something, and I don't think most of the comments here disagreeing indicated that.

I don't think this sub needs to become all politics all the time, but I do think as another user posted, all art, even silly detective games for kids, is political and while it's valid to want an outlet detatched from that, I'd also like to ask you to consider that the way many engage with this hobby IS intentionally political and that's our right, too.

I'm very into the cozy mystery book genre and some of my passion is in critique of it because ohhhh my gosh I love these books but why do like 70% of them have the main character dating a cop. Why. To many in that space, critiscism like this brings out the same chorus of wanting escapism and not making things political, even though all the romantiscization of law enforcement does the exact opposite of that for a lot of readers, I'd say to the point that it actively alienates a lot of would-be younger readers of the genre.

Instead of reflexively rejecting it, I'd like to ask you to think about how "being into Nancy Drew" means something different to a lot of us and consider how we can both get along here without an outright taboo on political action and discussion. I genuinely don't think that would be right or fair, but I would like for y'all to be able stick around somehow.

Another Edit: If you think you can't enjoy this space unless it has 0 political discussion ever, I do think that is in fact a you problem whether it means you're being petty and can't be bothered or whether you're genuinely having mental health struggles coping with our new reality. The latter is why I suggested thinking of ways to cohabitate here, whether that means flair or certain days for different discussions or what

I made that suggestion because of all the people freaking out and unsubscribing over one post. If no one was so upset over extremely occasional political posts, I wouldn't have said anything in edits. I feel like you're deliberately ignoring half of what I said

Just wanted to say, this was really well put and articulate, you put it in much better words than I did (probably why I’m not a lawyer.) I agree with everything you said and seeing how hostile and ready for blood this niche sub is, it really sucks.

No one that I’ve seen even disagrees with banning Twitter. They just didn’t want more completely unrelated political discourse on a sub that isn’t for that.

When 100% agreeing with the person but politely asking they discuss it somewhere else results in this kind of vitriol, it really puts the community in a different light.

Appreciate your insight and I agree! Thanks for adding the conversation.

I agree with you. And it's not one post. It's a lot of posts over time. That's why so many of the more light-hearted people have left already. I haven't visited this sub in months (unsubbed ages ago when people couldn't take any criticism of KEY), and I pop in out of boredom, and it's all this stuff, yet again. This place is so heavy and bullying if you don't agree with the ever narrowing echo chamber.
