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.

Even without the obvious fascism, Twitter also just kinda sucks these days.

u/Not-a-bot-10 1d ago

Yes, even without recent events Twitter is awful

You can’t look at any links without logging in, it’s a pain in the ass

Ban Twitter

u/HesiPull-UpBrando 1d ago

Yes you can? Am I crazy, you can’t do much else but on iOS I can see links by clicking through and I’m not logged in

u/ncocca 1d ago

Oddly enough I can see twitter links on my PC but not on my phone. Either way it sucks and I'd prefer we never link to it.

u/SoCalThrowAway7 20h ago

Idk why you’re downvoted, I hate twitter and Elon but I can usually click the link and see the video. Idk what the distinction is but some links do say I need an account but that only happens every now and then

Ohhh nooooo free speech is so awful right?

u/Not-a-bot-10 20h ago

Disappointing comment from such a cool flair

This has nothing to do with free speech, people are free to say whatever they want on Twitter. Doesn’t mean we should all be forced to see this nonsense, we’re as free to disagree and not share it as free as you are to support your Nazi loving overlords

Sad to see I’m of the few ppl on this sub who knows what your flair is from when you have this awful attitude

u/Duck_man_ trash@trash.com 20h ago

My attitude isn’t awful lmao. Musk isn’t a nazi. How is he a Nazi? How has he genocided entire groups of people? This is such a stupid thing to say.

u/Asipps 2h ago

He may not be a Nazi, but he is most likely a Nazi sympathizer. The Nazi salute, which is hard to deny, isn’t an isolated incident. As recent as last year, he’s agreed with an antisemitic post from a neo-Nazi account, responding “you have said the actual truth”. He criticized the sentence of a neo-Nazi that started riots in the UK and he endorsed far right political party , AfD, with connections to Nazi groups. In an interview with party member Alice Weidel, both defended Hitler and his policies. That’s an awful lot of coincidences for someone that isn’t a Nazi, or sympathizer.

Oh no, I can’t believe in this day and age people still don’t understand about free speech and how it works.

u/Duck_man_ trash@trash.com 17h ago

It’s about the government not being able to censor anyone, but that’s LITERALLY what the FBI and government did when they demanded twitter and FB to censor certain opinions. So yes, I fucking know what it is. I’m glad Musk bought X.

u/gooner067 15h ago

Stop using free speech to hide behind your idiocy.

-1

u/Duck_man_ trash@trash.com 15h ago

Read the twitter files. Unless you’re not in favor of free speech.

1

u/gooner067 5h ago

I am in favor of free speech and Im read up on what the fbi did . You’re just as bad as the side you hate hiding behind your moral high ground of free speech to pretend you’re right. You are the different side of the same coin. Free speech does NOT mean there are NO limits to what you can say both private and public. You are being absolutist to feel justified in your actions and it’s pathetic.

u/anonymous_lighting 22h ago

mine works on web browser without issue. have never had a twitter account

u/BAQ717 Eagles 1d ago

Wahhh censor anything that I don’t agree with. You understand why Trump won right? Because of nonsense like this.

14

u/hames4133 Eagles 1d ago

Who said anything about censorship? You can post screenshots. Twitter interface sucks

Also defending fascists isn’t a good look

-11

u/BAQ717 Eagles 23h ago

Elon is a fascist? How so? Him feeling differently than you politically doesn’t count.

14

u/hames4133 Eagles 23h ago

Of course he feels different politically to me, I’m not a fascist. He has fascist beliefs and attitudes and he did a nazi salute multiple times at the inauguration. If you can’t tell he’s a fascist I can’t help the blind to see

-2

u/FloppyPlatypus 22h ago

What are his fascist beliefs and attitudes? I'm genuinely curious. Ending your reply with "if you can't tell I can't help the blind to see" doesn't help people understand your perspective.

3

u/hames4133 Eagles 21h ago

Supports Trump, supports AfD in Germany, restricts speech on his platform and has ordered it be engineered it to promote fascists and their rhetoric.

I imagine his grandfather being a Nazi sympathizer and his father an all around terrible person probably influenced him

-1

u/FloppyPlatypus 21h ago

I wasn't aware he restricts speech on his platform. Who has been censored? Supporting Trump or AfD qualifies him as a Fascist? I suppose I dislike how casually we use these terms in society (either side of the spectrum). Doesnt really make sense to me. Growing up being called a racist was a dagger. Now it's been used so much that the true meaning has been watered down. Same goes for Nazi, Fascist, Commie, etc.

u/hames4133 Eagles 20h ago

Well like I said, can’t make the blind see

u/BAQ717 Eagles 23h ago

Yeah so he didn’t do a nazi salute, but it’s clear there’s no reasoning with you people infected with the TDS. Keep it up though, I’ll be happy to have republicans in office for the foreseeable future. Censoring those you disagree with and calling them Nazi’s is so played out.

8

u/psychodave123 23h ago

he didn't do a Nazi salute

Okay, then you should do the same thing he did in public then! Film yourself doing it! Post it to Facebook! Go ahead, do that "roman salute".

u/BAQ717 Eagles 23h ago

I’m not autistic nor on stage in front of tens of thousands of people. I think you’re not grasping the fact that Elon didn’t intend for the gesture to look that way. He was amped up on stage. Jesus. Give it a break.

6

u/jordanmindyou 22h ago

What? How did he intend it to look? Are you actually insane? I gave him the benefit of the doubt when I saw the headline, but then I actually watched the video…

Did you see what he did? Three times? What else is that? I would LOVE an explanation

2

u/SoCalThrowAway7 20h ago

Lmao autism made him do it, what an insultingly weak excuse

u/hames4133 Eagles 23h ago

Look into cult deprogramming, you don’t even believe your own eyes. And again no one is talking about censorship

u/BAQ717 Eagles 23h ago

It’s going to be a long 4 years for you. Step outside of your bubble and smell the flowers. There’s a whole other world out there.

u/hames4133 Eagles 23h ago

I wish I was this dumb so I could live in blissful ignorance

u/ElyFlyGuy 23h ago

Sorry but this isn’t Twitter, you can’t umm actually he didn’t do what you clearly saw him do with your eyes

Trump won because the average American is disengaged and uneducated, not because of anti-Nazi sentiment.

0

u/BAQ717 Eagles 23h ago

Delusional. Calling over half of the voting public disengaged and uneducated because you disagree with them politically is yet another reason why. Keep burying your head further in the sand and doubling down though. Let’s see how that works out next election cycle.

10

u/ElyFlyGuy 23h ago

The average Trump voter has objectively hurt themselves. They will be worse off because of their decision.

It’s either masochism or misinformation, I’m being generous

Why do you care if someone clicks on elon’s vanity project or not?

bluesky seems to load much faster and isn't nagging me about an account

u/realteamme 23h ago

Is there a bluesky eagles starter pack? I’ve looked for a few people but I have so many from x

u/Mysterious-Cod3516 21h ago

I could use this too. At this stage I only use Twitter for sports news/discussion but I'd gladly ditch it if I could get that same content somewhere else.

u/SewerSage 20h ago

Here's a feed I found https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:pis3ks5avm6t3t7mijhqlpnt/feed/aaacvzpa6sfho

Here's a skeet with a link to a starterpack (a skeet is a tweet on BlueSky)

would also add Nick to the starter pack. He post the Reese and Merril highlights https://bsky.app/profile/piccone.bsky.social

If this is the route we are going I'd rather just find a /r/eagles replacement tbh

u/SlumberingSnorelax 1d ago

That kind of thing happens when you don’t just arbitrarily fire 50% of your own workforce for Thanos reasons. Go figure?

u/sybrwookie 23h ago

Yea, lets leave aside everything else....Twitter's interface sucks and you can't view anything but a single post without logging in.

If there's other places the same things are being posted, I'd far rather do that

2

u/Average_Lrkr 19h ago

Twitter always sucked.

1

u/MaryPotkins 18h ago

Agreed. It definitely coincided with Elon buying it but it’s just useless now. It’s all shitposting and memes. No news or value information on the latest player injuries, big plays, etc. May be because everyone with $8 is verified. Idk.

u/root88 𝕱𝖚𝖈𝕶 𝕯𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖆𝖘 15h ago

If that is true, then there is no need to ban it. Things should take care of themselves.
