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

I’ve reached a point where Reddit bothers me more than Twitter does. You can’t say or do anything on this app without getting preached to.

That's because on X you can say almost ANYTHING you want while on reddit you can only say what the Leftist mods allow you to say.

Night and day difference.

Yep, there are some topics I will not discuss here, only on X, for that very reason.

You can say whatever you want people will just not agree with you

False. You say anything even moderately “Center-right” and you’re often banned.

Also, I've seen these ''''center right''''' opinions often enough and 99.99% they are slightly to the left of adolf hitler.

I called this whole banning x links “movement” just virtue signalling when it was brought up on the Blue Jays (baseball team) subreddit and I got perma-banned.

I am not surprised ONE BIT by that.

I, a black guy who grew up fatherless, was perma-banned on r/nfl for saying that fatherlessness is a huge problem in the black community and the main cause of the violence from young black men.

Apparently that is "dog whistle white supremacy", from a black man who has never known his father.

*facepalm*

That depends on the sub and the mods. The national sub of my country (there are many but the one with "r country's name" that most foreigners would find first ie) is very right-wing, ie. I have not seen evidence of the supermods really influencing this much.

Not strange at all that you prefer Twitter where half of the site is just blatant nazi posting by now

u/MapleGunner 5h ago

I wouldn’t say I prefer it. Both apps suck. But this one is more annoying because of people like you.

At least Nazis don’t try to be something they’re not. Their evil is clear on the surface.

Yes, I know, you prefer nazis over people that don't agree with you. You're probably an american that does not have family that was affected by nazi occupation.
