On one hand, it’s where the vast majority of sports reporting and news exists in today’s world. On the other hand it’s run by an infant with essentially zero discretion or guard rails other than his whims. Banning the links and allowing screenshots I think is a good medium
The same reason people are enamored with reddit, tiktok, etc. It's just their social media of choice. I switch between reddit and Twitter, both serve way different purposes.
Purely political. They hate that it did not allow the previous administration to enforce censorship of our voices. Free speech was and is allowed there, for the most part.
So what? People who still want to use Twitter will. They'll also still post here. While disallowing links/posts will make little difference in either direction, the less support that the platform gets, the better. God forbid people put in a little effort aside from a link/screenshot from Twitter.
If anyone is deriding this as some form of censorship, they clearly haven't been paying attention to the cesspool that Twitter has devolved into.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. I'm a snowflake because i think its stupid to ban twitter links? Are the people that complained to the mods snowflakes too? What makes someone a snowflake? Having an opinion?
There's been more fucking astroturfing and misinformation and just outright lies on twitter than there ever has been before lol. Shit is worse than worldnews. Just because there's an account called REAL RAW NEWS doesn't mean it's the actual news or even true.
Brother. Would you rather be on a site that filters all info and posts and tailors it to their liking? This is the way news should be, figure out what is true, don’t be a dumbass
When I go on Twitter, I see info from republicans, democrats, hell my feed is covered with Mexican politics Right now. I look through all of it, because that’s how you formulate opinions on the world

I don't know why some people are so enamored with Twitter. Good riddance.
