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.

    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.
