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.

yes
Do you think Lemmy should act like Meta, which banned Pixelfed links and Mastodon instances?
Logic like this is like refusing to use violence against colonizers because your colonizer uses violence.
Tactics cannot be evaluated solely on the basis of whether your opponent uses them. Banning certain sources robs them of a little bit more reach and that’s a good thing if you’re talking about an explicitly fascist platform. I think either screenshots or archive links should be the only time x posts are allowed.
One site forbidding you from directing traffic to another isn’t disrespecting you. If it’s something so groundbreaking that others need to see it, screenshot it and post it. You don’t need to directly link it.
yes
Wasn’t Lemmy supposed to be for free speech/anti-censorship and shit? Or maybe I got it wrong? Yall do realize there are many reasonable things on X and not just the right-wing/Elon stuff. Right?
Yes, we do realize that. But we can no longer fight them on a platform literally controlled algorithmically from the top-down by the worlds richest man who is backed by the commander-in-chief of the world’s best-funded military. Maybe deleting our accounts is a better strategy then ratioing losers on a platform subject to increasingly open and brazen manipulation.
Posting on a website ran by an upper class fascist is just giving your name to the upcoming hitlist
You have to be willing to walk away from and ignore corporate media platforms, or else they’ll never be defeated. And content creators need to also learn to not post their stuff to these platforms.
Some people take umbrage in supporting a publication owned by a nazi.
Soyflakes.
Haha nice one that’s so based and kekpilled my duderino
IKR.

That makes sense. I guess the instances I’m using are pro-censorship and not Lemmy itself.
I’d be more than happy to see all links pointing to xitter banned. FB/Meta would be nice too, but I think it’s more important to sending a clear signal on neo-nazi salutes being a red line.
Yes.
Slippery slope of censorship. Where would it stop?
with a federated linked network of social media sites run by it’s users
what if there became a Nazi ran Mastodon or pixelfed or Lemmy instance?
Was presented with this question. Lets simplify it and remove the spin.
Are you ok with your enemy using the software you've published?I quickly answered,
yes! It's open source. This must include enemiesSimilar to free speech, censorship aside, if not willing to defend essholes being essholes then don’t really have free speech
Linus Torvalds slipped, tossing Russian maintainers. Politicizing open source makes it open for some, but not for others.
Which is a real dilemma cuz i hate everyone equally
To answer your question, the fediverse welcomes Nazi fascists commis gays whatever running instances. If don’t like the instance moderators can always jump on another instance. And instances owners do not federate with instances they don’t like.
… and the world goes on just fine
The way I see it, the slippery slope that we’re currently on is tolerating nazis and bigots.
You could just go on X if you feel like it, no ones stopping you. I dont know why anyones surprised a ‘ML’ website doesnt want to host content by the literal richest person on the planet who just seig heiled on a TV multiple times.
… does ML still block curse words?
Things that aren’t Nazis might be a good stopping point
Yes… we should probably ban Xitter links… but maybe allow other front ends? You know, because screenshots can be forged.
Yes
If you dont like X posts, you can not open X links. But dont make others unable to view it if they want
i respect your opinion, your right to have an opinion, glad you shared your opinion, glad to read opposing opinions, Glad your opinion was not suppressed or censored or shadow banned, that someone having purchased access doesn’t drown out your opinion, and others refrained from ganging up to suppress the opposing view.
Sometimes in echo chambers the opposing opinion turns out to be right.
This is not one of those cases. <-- my opinion position
But i really liked that you posted and the opposing opinion was given a fair access to eye balls
I said that if you dont agree with something, thats ok but dont take it away from other people. You said that same thing, but also that im wrong. Thats interesting
Clearly marked and qualified it as just my opinion
Will survive someone disagreeing with you.
I just pointed that its interesting that you agreed with me and said that i was wrong at the same time. Really dont care if you agree or not
Yes and ban Meta too.
Yes. Ban it. No more traffic to big social media. If something is newsworthy there will be a blog post about it.

go back to cheering musk’s nazi salute you disgrace for a human being
It’s why Soviet WW2 veterans who had served on the Western front were sent to the GULAG.
This American defector seems to have gotten by a lot better than he would have if he’d stayed loyal to America. Says he spent a few days in a cell but I don’t recall mention of any gulag.
Yes, PLEASE! Even without the whole Sieg Heil debacle Twitter is ass to use if you’re not a registered user. Same with Meta & co.
