It's definitely the most used embed on here, for a variety of reasons.

That said, it's time.

(Kyuuji, though Elon isn’t very high on my list either)

Using the Gaza and Ukraine threads as the reason they can't ban twitter is such disingenuous bullshit. People had been asking for twitter to be banned a long ass time ago, and had you, dumbs, then those threads would be full of twitter screenshots, not twitter embeds. And then when this popped off yesterday, you'd look like the progressive douchebag you claim to be. But instead, your laziness and ineptitude has you boxed in, and now you have to do a tremendous amount of work (you actually don't but I digress) to get to where you should have been a year ago.

Good job b-dumbs. Stay losing.

he comin for em

lol at hiding behind the gaza thread.

[DavidCroquet]

Poeple should've been embedding TikToks instead. The Only Pro-Palestinian Platform™!

[nachobro]

"We can't ban twitter, it's technically impossible"

Everyone else bans twitter.

"Maybe we can ban twitter, we're looking into it".

all these reddits that are "banning" twitter are just banning the links but allowing source-less (actually unable to source cause the links are not allowed to be posted) screenshots instead, definitely not ripe for abuse at all

[HaughtyFrank]

What…why are x embeds broken!

Benjamin has some explaining to do

Embeds have been changed so you don't need to replace the X anymore

I'm giving the mods the benefit of the doubt here and appreciate you being communicative B-Dubs, but I am gonna need to know what happened with that poll. What's that about.

Conspiracy theorizing.

We're not putting important shit like this up to a vote. Especially when most of the people voting don't know the details.

So moderation DID tell them to take it down. 

should have just left it up, like most polls it would have gone against the "correct thought" of the prominent members anyway

How is this so complicated? Tell everyone that twitter is banned and if you see someone using it to file a report, then mods just ban everyone who gets reported. 
Like what is MOBA paying bdumbs for if he can’t figure out the solution here.

its not complicated, they already have banned links to bore and gaf, i believe both show up as **** if posted.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

keep in mind resetERA is owned by a Swedish media company and their interests/desires may not be in line with the admin/mod team. We've seen a LOT of CEOs bend the knee to Trump/Musk in the last month.

i'll have to check out lemmy, its just gotta be ultra hard to compete with reddit which has over 500m active users.

get him mods!

[Cauliflower Of Love]

if only they had some kind of reporting system where users can report rowling potter cyberpunk twitter posts.

[Besticus Maximus]

Joanne's got a google alert where every time Kyuuji posts a lie a quid gets donated to a woman's crisis shelter

[Cauliflower Of Love]

Seriously, does NOBODY check the threadmarks?

Also, they literally don't give a rat's ass about twitter dude. Everyone needs to knock off the conspiracy nonsense already, it's exhausting.

[HaughtyFrank]

Fwiw let's not forget that Reddit itself is a shithole, too, even if it doesn't have a leadership like Elon Musk. If I could wish both Twitter and Reddit out of existence, I would.

Reddit is one of the few social media sites that still has explicitly safe spaces for women, queer people, and others.

Just yesterday it was tiktok. They're so full of shit

The situation in Gaza is an ongoing genocide, I don't see what trans people in the US have to do with that or why they need to be dragged into the conversation in service of making a point.

Because they are also affected by an ongoing genocide? Or is that not a thing now? Surely it wasn't just an disingenuous talking point and tool for ban-baiting?

[jooseloose]

From the constructive thread:

Not to be too "no ethical consumption under capitalism" about it either, but while Musk's impact is very overt and recent for much of the west and especilly the US, we don't really seem to share the same passionate resistance to other, similarly problematic, tech giants and business owners.

Twitter is uniquely pervasive, especially when it comes to the kind of news shared here, but there aren't broad calls for the site-wide banning of Meta services, or Youtube videos because it's the "ethically right thing to do".

It's probably just whataboutism, but the level of resistance to Twitter in particular feels more reflective of people's (entirely fair) hatred for Musk himself rather than the ethical implications of embedding links to a platform he owns

You are not obligated to vote for evil.

Are you implying that people who did vote, voted for evil? That comparison seems...inflammatory. It might be seen as antagonistic to other users. I wonder if this user has an extremely long history of the same? 

[Cauliflower Of Love]

"In fact you're not obligated to vote, take it from me - nep."

[Nintex]

You need to remove all this junk: ?t=GOIsCQjQl1RWE40IfJpc9Q&s=19

and then the X embeds work

Since I'm into film photography, I'm trying to get r/AnalogCommunity to ban it. We'll see what happens.

Oh man, bad news guys. It's over. Insta is done. -

Only used Facebook for Marketplace but gonna try and curtail even that. I'll do an "I'm going dark" instagram post explaining why and then I'm gonna delete the app for the foreseeable future.

r/Christianity bans X before Era. Insane.

I scrolled through like the last 100 posts on that sub. Not a single Twitter post among them. Why ban something that barely ever gets used on the sub anyway

[kaleidoscopium]

I checked it on our test site, the posts would be totally and completely blank. No link, no nothing.

Like I said, we're going to break future twitter embeds. That's already decided, we're doing it. What we need to do is make sure older, and important ongoing, threads don't get totally screwed over in the process and figure out what a post-twitter embed world looks like on Era. What are the standards for people sharing screens of tweets? What does thread creation look like when a game dev announces a new trailer or a game or something on twitter? What happens when someone invariably posts a fake, or altered, tweet designed to piss everyone off? There's a bunch of little policy things to figure out with a change this big and we want to make sure we can make an announcement that answers everyone's questions and covers everyone's concerns.

So, we're doing it, chill out on that, it's just a matter of implementation and what that looks like.

Capitulating to the mob, guess it wasn’t that big of a job after all he was just lazy
