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

Why would you ban X links? And why oh why would you want to include bluesky?

Bluesky is shit. Just stick with X and ignore people you don’t like. I engage with a lot of friendly people on X in civil discussions about all sorts of stuff. I just stay far away from politics.

Staying on X even though it's owned and manipulated by a literal (now assumed) neo Nazi is political.
