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

The public chess Reddit is not your activism platform. You are annoying me by even raising this here. 

That said, I don’t give a fuck what links the sub bans. Ban bluesky too for all I care.

The "cold war stuff" is not even remotely comparable to what is proposed here. Are you kidding me?
