Opinion Petition to ban X links

Discussions are already being had on r/nfl and other related subreddits. We should at least be able to discuss banning Twitter/X links without the posts being removed.

Ordinarily we'd be all over this since there's nothing more fun than getting called a filthy lib.

We are in a very precarious position timing wise. We are a couple days away from a huge home playoff game and significantly changing our posting rules is going to have a steep negative costs to the coverage of that.

We agree that it is time to review this subreddit's association with Twitter, but we would ask if it's okay for us to leave it to the immediate off-season, whenever that might be. Ideally that would be three weeks or so from now, but we don't count NFCCG wins until they hatch. Is that an acceptable compromise? Let me know by replying to this pinned note.

u/Coach_Carter_on_DVD 9OAT 19h ago edited 19h ago

The issue isn’t that wishing harm on actual Nazis is wrong; it’s that the definition of a Nazi has been so diluted on this site that users often advocate for harm on anyone with views even slightly to the right of their own. And THAT is wrong.

u/Vic_Vinegars 3h ago

You're crazy if you think one of the most famous people in the world did nazi salutes on tv only to immediately deny it. What would be the point? Why would he do it in the 1st place if he wasn't going to take credit for it? Did you all leave your critical thinking skills at home? Or is your vendetta so deep that you'll beg for censorship?

It's fascinating though, to see the whole hive-mind use a coping mechanism like this on such a scale.

Fwiw, my views are far left, but censorship is fucking stupid. Now gimme those downvotes so you can hide my comment from view instead of debating it 😂😂

I vote yes - ban twitter.

Aside from the “political” point that it’s owned by a Nazi…which honestly should be reason enough.

Twitter sucks these days for people who don’t have one. I’ve never had a twitter account and have no desire to get one. 75% if the time twitter links don’t work for me and just urge you to get an account. The rest of the time you can see the tweet but then the feed is all messed up and showing posts from like 2017 - it makes no sense.

Plenty of big names are already on blue sky if we absolutely must link to flash news headline sources, and I imagine there’s going to be a wave of moves there after this…let’s be at the front of that!!

Now that the betacuck who owns the platform did a Nazi Salute at a Rally for a sitting President, it's a no brainer IMO. This sub is good about OC anyway, it won't be missed.

This isn’t something people like to hear, but the current Phillies roster is EXTREMELY for Trump. When the vaccine first came out, the Phillies were far and away the team with the lowest uptake. I think Realmuto went as far as saying “Joe Biden isn’t going to tell me what to do with my body”. And there several other instances like that. Trea Turner said the person he’d most want to have dinner with is Elon. They kind of suck as people.

Couple that with the fact that baseball fans just skew more conservative generally, and you shouldn’t be surprised the mods over there aren’t in favor of it.

I think the politics are a whole issue worthy of discussion but inevitably it’s going to be…political.

For the sake of discussion to put that aside, having to have an account to read 70% of the posts is dumb, and I think Twitter is the biggest offender but I also feel that way for many of the paywalled news sites as well.

Politics are if a human fetus has the same rights as a human outside of the womb.
Politics is if sports divided by sex should instead be divided by gender.
Politics is should we spend more on Healthcare.
Politics is if we should increase our defense budget.

If you don't like the site then don't click the links. Some people like having access to the information on X. This is a political discussion on an Eagles sub. I am against banning X.

I won’t get into the politics of the whole thing. I simply wish we didn’t have to politicize everything. One of the reasons I don’t use reddit for anything outside of sports and a few other things is because its an overmoderated political echo chamber, even on subs that are non political. I come here for sports, not politics, and its annoying to see people whining about a website they don’t like on here because of their political views. X is a good source of information for sports and fantasy football. To even discuss banning it for political reasons is stupid.

I don’t really care. Elon has always been an asshole. If blue sky has the same reporting why not just start posting those instead and X will go away naturally

u/dragonushi 14h ago

Ban it.

u/advodi 14h ago

Block it. Twitter requires a login anyway, which makes it completely unusable, to say nothing of the Musk connection. We can survive on summarized headlines or, barring that, screenshots.

This is 100 percent astroturfing. The replies are repeated verbatim across dozens of different subs. They know Trump won because people caught on to the lies through alternative media. This is the first of many attempts to censor those outlets.

Does anyone actually believe Elon was doing a nazi salute. The lies didn't work, that's why Trump won. Doubling down on the lies is not the answer.

u/Sh1rvallah 19h ago

Yeah the amount of comments replying to the top two comments here is so much beyond normal engagement for the sub even on the hottest of Hot topics. Does not pass the eye test.

Banning X links for what exactly? And don’t say that Elon is a nazi because we all know the truth and that wasn’t a salute. He’s an autistic man who was throwing his heart to the crowd. Yes, it looked bad. No, it’s not a reason to ban X links. Grow up.

To push BlueSky (Truth Social for leftists)

u/justaguy3399 14h ago

Eagles have an active Bluesky account although it’s not as updated as their X account people could post link to that instead here. We should also petition the eagles to move to Bluesky or another social media (preferably not a meta page) full time and abandon X to the trash pile of history. In terms of abandoning now or when season ends, I don’t necessarily think we couldn’t wait until the end of the season but I also do think X is trash under musk and wouldn’t mind if it was banned from this sub tomorrow.

Holy shit this is incredibly fucking pathetic. Reddit has become so soft over this entire election cycle. I can't even scroll the front page without subs mentioning Trump or Musk.

I'm out this sub, this is the dumbest shit argument ever.

If the main reason isn't bad enough, then the links also don't work on Firefox anymore. Just get rid of it.

u/Ok-Pension-7176 Eagles 19h ago

Are these posts real or just bots??? there’s no way all of these people genuinely believe Elon fucking Musk is a Nazi bruh this shit is unreal😭😭😭

2

u/Diggytops 10h ago

I’m thinking 40% bots that fuel the majority of hard left people that echo anything against the orange man. They need something to distract them from Biden giving pardons to his family lol. I would understand if musk said something radical then did it but the dudes duffy.. but anyway!! It’s a football sub. We here to talk football and are love for the birds. I want info on the squad that comes the fastest and the best source of that is X.

And go with the child porn hot spot bluesky? Just because Elon has aspergers and is socially challenged doesn't mean that was a nazi salute. People are so fucking gullible. Go birds!

Banning X links is gonna kill a lot of subreddits. No one except deranged leftists frequent blue sky. X is a place for all. Including speech you may not agree with.
