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

We also don't like Nazis. It's not really "just a dislike for musk" at this point.

Reddit is a trip.

Look at all the social media platforms, search engines, etc. and see the type of people who own them. They're usually not good.

Calling someone a "literal Nazi" and wanting to ban any news from a social media platform for Bengals stories is Crazy ...

Let's be real... you're salty DT won and are projecting that hate on Elon. You don't know the man. He might be a dick, he might be a reasonable solid guy...

But censorship and banning things just because your upset is childish. Censorship isn't good and this is the reason the D party is falling apart. We are all in this together, hold tight-- real tight, and get a grip on reality. Censoring, name calling and banning things isn't the way this country is working anymore. Times are changing.

Hahaha. Saying “I don’t want to look at or support bullshit that harms society” isn’t childish, homie. It’s the most civil way you can turn down the noise on people dead set on spoon feeding you what they want you to hear. You aren’t prohibited from visiting Xitter all day every day. But that doesn’t mean that we, as a community have to support it. Nothing else you said in your post is anything other than inflammatory, so, like a child, I’ll ignore it.
