A lot of subreddits are banning/proposing to ban X links in response to Führer Elon’s wonderful gesture of love and tolerance. Should this instance follow suit?

Also, Instagram/Threads/Meta links. Same question.

    Block them. If they have something interesting or important to say, just quote it. Don’t send them even more traffic and attention.

      A quote is not a source. The news often misquotes people or takes words out of context.

      A tweet should be screenshotted with the original link along with an alternate to xcancel.com.

      If the tweet itself has a link or mentions something elsewhere, a link to that source should also be provided.

      Sounds like a lot but anything less is misinformation, as far as I’m concerned. So much news and memes have been spread where the subject is taken out of context. Hours or days or years will go by before people come to discover the true meaning of something and by then the impression has already been made.

        Are we trusting a site being run by a known white nationalist/Nazi as a news source?

      Agreed. At least send the link shared to Twitter then, if there’s any. A screenshot is better than nothing.
