Other social media sites have been doing it. Do we want to join in?

EDIT: Some people are saying that this is a power that ought to be left to communities… do we have a specific delineation of powers that relegates these decisions to communities? If not, then I recommend that these users propose such a delineation of powers. I would be very ok with this proposal failing because instead we got a more explicit set of checks and balances.

    I am personally for blanket banning Twitter/Meta, yet I’d prefer it were up to Communities, even though I’d disagree with leaving it a choice personally. Out of respect for others with differing opinions on that, I don’t want to kill the forum either and being heavy handed could potentially.

    I do see those types of services as a net negative on all of us by continuing to use them.

    Personally I would go so far as to ban links to any social media site that requires a login to even view the content linked.

    But yes, banning Twitter links has plenty of other good reasons for it too.

    As others have done the best solution seem to be blocking twitter links but still allowing screens, this way you preserve the content but don’t give them any clicks.
