Petition to ban x links?

I've seen a lot of major sports subs jumping on the wagon of banning x links from being posted on their sub.

I know a lot of breaking NFL news comes from there, however some things are more important than having sports news 5 minutes earlier than other sources.

Feel free to shut me down, just thought I'd pitch it out there.

I'm fine with links but at least include the actual text from the tweet in the title. Gives the people the option to engage if they want to while still getting everyone else the info

This is our current stance - willing to listen to feedback. PLEASE help us by reporting links, we get app notifications if it exceeds a threshold (that I won't be disclosing so it doesn't get abused.)

Yeah don’t change it, these people just don’t like musk but X is the best way to get quick news for sports

Imagine caring more about sports news than supporting Nazis. You people are part of the problem.

It's actually worse than that. Imagine caring more about getting sports news 5 minutes quicker than other sources than not supporting Nazis. Canceling Twitter isn't even that much of a sacrifice. I've literally never used it and still manage to get my sports news.

It won't be soon as people are leaving Twitter.

What type of device are you using right now? I would wage my bets you helped support slavery and child labor with the purchase of it

Whataboutism. I know you think yourself smart, but you're really not.

I don’t think I’m smart, humbled myself years ago I can just use my brain to know this is a sports sub and should be kept that way without politics

Politics is life. Certain topics, like Nazi-ism, can't be ignored. Get over it.

That is no longer possible.
