Ban it for sure.
Proposal to ban X.com links
- Thread starter Snow
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
We can go after them next, once we've burned twitter to the ground
Less informed? We're in this political position because of the amount of misinformation, led by Twitter. Dumb people are being farmed by Russian bots.
In relation to football it would get rid of gossip and pretend journalists which are given far too much leeway in the media. Not to mention to people that don't use the site, X links are giant black boxes that show you nothing because you need to have an account to use it.
I think now is a good time for people to reflect if what they need in life is to really give a little bit of their money to a Nazi billionaire each month.
Show who they are and we'll get on them next. But it seems pretty obvious to start with the out-and-out fascists and racists.
I think maybe let’s draw the initial line at the one owned by a guy openly doing Nazi salutes?
Is that a yes then?
Not my say unfortunately.
Ban all americans.
Sweet Square advocating for Twitter belongs in the hypernormalisation thread.
Not my say either, but I think it would be more possible once we also have to XenForo update with BlueSky integration that @SilentWitness mentioned.
Why not?
Some users won't have anything to post if that's banned.
You make it sound like that as bad thing
Seconded
Yeah ban it
The question is how do we run the transfer tweets without it? All other uses of X could probably be replaced easily, is there an easy alternative for that?
Do your mental health a favour and live in blissful ignorance until the club announce something.
We either have a shortlist from Bluesky or we go without. I'm in favour of going without it as it's just become noise
What's the 88 mean in your username, out of interest?
Anywho, ban it.
Yikes
Jesus
I'd also support a ban. It's pretty much the only place I see Twitter posts, and I'd be glad not to see them at all.
Year of birth, 1988. I think I had made an account with hasanejaz as my usename long before with my uni email address but then never used it so it got banned
Had to pick another one then for the new account then.Im on Bluesky as well as twitter and have found that a much more pleasant experience however my Twitter feed is largely from sources I follow and I have little exposure these days to the offensive shite on twitter. Its a bit of an echo chamber of my own making but I still think there are useful avenues of great information via twitter.
I understand the sentiment for a ban but if we do ban it we will narrow some of the avenues to credible information etc from the platform. I would be ok with a ban but it might be one of those cases of cutting off our nose to spite our face.

America is England’s fault so it needs to be a package deal. Irish, Africans, and Asians only.
You know that the "18" is equally problematic, right?
Most credible sources will rapidly be on bluesky if they aren’t already imo. Time to be part of the wave that bins off the Twitter cesspit.
What’s wrong with 18?You know that the "18" is equally problematic, right?

First and 8th letter of the alphabet
Ah! Got it
Honestly, I'm fine with the notion. There already has been quite an exodus of both individuals and institutions from Xitter, and I feel like that will accelerate in the coming weeks and months. So telling the nazi platform to feck off is not only the morally right thing to do, but should also be bearable from an information sourcing perspective.
If that stops people linking tweets which link to articles and makes them link the article from the start then that's an added bonus to me.

Maybe slightly less common than the 88, but yes also very much in use by nazis alongside the 14 and 88.
I'm not in favour of this. Too much relevant information is posted on Twitter to get rid. Hopefully that changes over time but I think banning it now will diminish the forum's utility.
Are we really going to miss that much news?
Maybe some funny takes but are we to be less enlightened?

Bluesky integration is in the works but for technical reasons we don't have a timeframe for it.
In anticipation of some of the responses to this post, yes, we are aware Bluesky integration is on a wide number of XenForo boards, but on here it isn't as straightforward and requires backend work due to some of the requirements for it.
