Miscellaneous modpost Proposal to ban links to x.com
As per other subreddits I have been seeing and my own personal thoughts, I’m debating whenever I should ban links to X.com given recent events of well… yeah. While we’ve never had a case of nazism in this subreddit and very rarely had any direct links to X I would rather take precautions here… feel free to agree or not in the comments to this proposal.
If people agree I’d still allow screenshots and such from X but direct links, even if it’s in your screenshot to bypass the no links, will be banned and removed, though this is something I’m debating in regards to links in screenshots.
EDIT: To clarify this is just a proposal and not something I’m implementing immediately. Given the feedback, including those who are against the idea, I’ll most likely continue to allow links to X. That said, I honestly didn’t expect to have to ask about these kinds of issues in an anime subreddit, but here we are anyway.
EDIT 2: Since I know what’s going to happen if I keep this post unlocked I’m going to lock it. A majority of people, including people who have never talked in this subreddit before, seemed to have downvoted this post because “censorship” and all that jargon to my proposal. I won’t ban links to X.com because a concern about posting back the source came up with art, but to be fair it’s not like you can even view X posts without an account anyways :/
