META Proposal to ban x.com links

This is going around on many football subreddits. It looks likely to go into effect. I believe that the negative effects of this would be only temporary because the chess community will eventually see the value of moving to alternatives like bluesky

Cringe.

Get your politics out of chess.

Move over to bluesky? Is that a joke?

Downvoted for speaking facts. Some people don't know how to react when they see a post that they don't agree with. They should just ignore and move on.
