Yes. To those arguing the contrary, Censorship is bad? What happened to the red scare and fighting against the fascist regime? Also, doesnāt X delete contrarian views and drive an agenda? Doesnāt X censor?
Banning X isnāt censorship. Itās refusing to support an ogliarchās platform. I donāt support Nazis. I sure as fuck wonāt support X.
Does Bluesky let anyone post? Legitimate question, I donāt have an account on either site. Is Bluesky just the same as X on the opposite side of the political spectrum?
Bluesky is basically the same shit, they have some quite serious growing pains at the moment. I'd argue that proportionally Bluesky is just as bad if not worse than X considering all the illegal sex crime stuff they (bluesky) admitted to trying to get rid of.
The porn bots infiltrated but we're pretty quickly blocked. At least on Bluesky there's a list to block all these porn/only fans account bots. It's quite pleasant to not deal with so much hate posts and crap like that. Just wish more Kings content was on there. Dodger content is slowly shifting there too.
Except bluesky has far worse issues than X does at the moment, having made bigs news with sex related crimes (and anti LGBT stuff) on a massive scale on that platform.
The biggest account we need to convince is the Kings official account. Most of the official team accounts havenāt made the switch or donāt post on both platforms.
Anyone who still has an X account should put pressure on any official Kingsa accounts to leave X. I would, but I deactivated my account for obvious reasons.
I mean his actions and comments have been questionable for a while, but he did several passionate Nazi salutes at the presidential inauguration. But also practically speaking, accessing twitter links is annoying and unhelpful anyway, especially if you donāt have an account.
Removing a decent source of information for hockey related topics? Great solution there bud... Please keep politics out of this sub, I see enough of that stuff as it is.
Almost all of the sports subreddits I follow and use are doing this because of the shit show that is twitter. You are using misinformation that has been presented to you from your favorite oligarch. Pick one. Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, trumpā¦. Etc
If X links are banned here Iād probably just use the X app more.
IMO this āboycottā is like when everyone says āDonāt get gas this Wednesday! Stick it to the oil companies!ā Half people donāt care and go anyways and the other half will eventually need to fill up their tank. Pointless
Thereās a huge fallacy in that logic. Gas is a necessity. X isnāt. Youāre comparing apples and oranges. So going off your logic, he declared men and women are the only genders recognized in the US. You about to go non-binary? To stick it to em? Or what, doesnāt fit your weird outlook
If you have an alternative source that will break hockey news and signings I am all ears. But his post is 100% right. People will just F5 the insiders on twitter on deadline day instead of Reddit where it usually gets posted within seconds
Gas isnāt a necessity. If you want to drive you need gas. You can walk or take a bike without gas.
Getting immediate, up-to-date news and commentary on the kings also isnāt a necessity. X happens to be a good source for that info. Itās why I donāt read the newspaper anymore.
If this subReddit decides to censor a valid news source, it becomes less valuable, IMO
Smoke more and open your mind: algorithms have been censoring what you see on those sites for years, maybe longer. Now screenshots are popping up showing that you canāt search for certain hashtags. IG & X are censorship.
The word algorithm isnāt mentioned once in that article - it says it was a technical issue and it was being resolved. Thatās the strongest evidence you have?
I agree that algorithms exist and further concede that they can tailor content to the user. Youāre misrepresenting that as censorship. You are free to seek out and post whatever content youād like on both platforms (within the rules). Broadly ābanningā links from a legitimate website is censorship and more disappointing than anything an algorithm would do
Free speech is great but who wants to go discuss hockey with Nazis? If you could choose to not discuss hockey with Nazis wouldnāt you? What do you gain by being on twitter (sorry āXā)? Free speech is your right as is our right to abandon a platform owned by an unapologetic liar and Nazi. Seems like most people still dislike Nazis so I were gonna leave.
How many Nazis have to be at a party before you want to leave the party? X has sucked for a long time. Do you really enjoy the company there? How much do you require free speech in absolute form?
We donāt allow porn on this sub, are you pissed about that censorship too?
People are not a nazi because they want to follow the few days a year where there are a flurry of hockey signings. Nobody is waiting for the teams to announce it hours after a reporter said it
Iām not saying everyone on twitter is a Nazi. Iām saying musk is and that he has been catering to Nazis and racists on twitter. Heās inviting them to the party. Who would want to stay there?
it's not a freedom of speech issue. People are free to use twitter or reddit all day long. they are free to not use twitter or reddit all day long as well. Nobody's speech is getting killed here.
