Let's check another response to Vipershark's question!

Quote:The same options for support that existed while Biden was president and well before? Donations, BDS, protest, advocacy etc. This particular ceasefire was never going to achieve Palestinian emancipation, just like none of the previous ceasefires have. But there are and have always been people working towards peace. [...]
Ok, sounds like he's about to make a reasonable point here! Let's check the next sentence...
Quote:Maybe now that democrats aren't in charge some liberals might start actually working with those organization instead of screaming about lesser evil voting to anyone who talks about Palestine.

Where is that Palestine ( ) dude with the KanColle character? Hammer of something? He posted that the ProPalestine polices would have made the difference in voting, totally.

What I thought as of like yesterday it wasn't as simple at flipping a switch?
Also lets be real, the whole "figure out how to make it work" is just code for, just let it blow over.
If yall really want to kill x links, you can do it now, and STILL work on bringing back the old tweets. But you know...

They're so incredibly delusional it's amazing. Well looking forward to see Resetera really tanking as news aggregator
They somehow think banning X links will solve all their problems, the fallout from this is going to be incredible

Discussing the most important issue of our time in constructive:

We have all collectively let a lot of awful shit slide because we want to talk about videogames. Selectively making a stand on this particular thing that will negatively affect the site's usability for thousands of people should only be done after careful consideration.

If people want to use screenshots they can, we'll have some guidelines for that to try and protect against fake nonsense, and we're not going to be breaking links to the platform (that'd create a huge mess). What we're talking about is just making it so people can't embed in the future.
I totally get what you're saying and I do want to try and make sure this does as little damage to us as is possible. I don't want this to be a "We stabbed ourselves in the stomach in order to spit on Musk" situation.
That said, all this is happening at an awkward moment given we're currently trying to set up for a major site upgrade. So it's going to take a minute.
Alexandros, post: 134700039, member: 8501 wrote:That sounds like a solid plan, thank you for the reply. Have you decided on how regular (not embedded) Twitter URL links will be handled? For example, if the source of a piece of news or rumor is a twitter link, will it be able to be posted as a url in the OP?
B-Dubs, post: 134701038, member: 143 wrote:Given the technical side is going to take a minute, we're taking the time to iron out the details as much as we can. That way we can make a proper announcement and have some guidelines available.

We can work with screenshots and links but embedding directly is benefiting an actual Nazi.
As others have mentioned we can try and drive traffic to actual websites instead of social media which helps the health of the internet as a whole.

Don’t the users realize bdumbs and the ad team are working 100 hour weeks to get rid of twitter embeds?

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
They full of shit cause all the women's spaces get infiltrated by trans women and they ban all women that complain
had to share this

So they've been planning a major site upgrade. Which is ideally the perfect time to do add something like this.
But at the same time dubs has been speaking out the other side of their mouth that it would break current site setup?

Democracies are being literally toppled because of social media algorithms.
We are battling mass disinformation, resisting social manipulation, and fighting for the future of democracy.
Our digital choices do matter and reflect whether you're an ally, adversary, or bystander.

But those white people are always going to vote for their interests, as she always says, so it's the same logic. They're not temporarily embarrassed Democrats, they are voting for their own interests. So it's a moot point to blame them or complain about them if the only people who can put the non-Republican in are the people like her who wouldn't automatically vote Republican. "If they would just stop being white and vote for my candidate" ok but they cant. You can't divide by zero.
