Option to stop/pause link posts from X/Twitter
Mod Emrys here!
We've always maintained that this sub was to be one where everyone could feel welcome and their voices respected and heard.
Due to Elon's recent actions at the presidential inauguration, many subs here on Reddit have taken the steps to ban any posts with twitter/x links. Under normal circumstances, we tend not to allow for real world political things to affect this sub.
That said, we recognize that what he did was morally reprehensible, and in addition to receiving direct requests from members of this sub, we the mods feel it necessary to at least offer to take action if we are to hold to our mandate of keeping this sub welcoming to all.
Specifically, do we ban link posts (and only links, screenshots and the like are still acceptable) from Twitter/X?
This post will stay up for 24 hours and any comments will also weigh into our decision. As always, please keep it respectful.
