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.

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

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...

User banned (1 month): inflammatory accusations

Since Arab five year-olds being used as sniper practice aren't enough to get most Americans in the streets, I would hope the nanny state taking away one of our toys would do it.

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

That said, it's time.

They're so incredibly delusional it's amazing. Well looking forward to see Resetera really tanking as news aggregator

[kaleidoscopium]

They somehow think banning X links will solve all their problems, the fallout from this is going to be incredible

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

These people can’t help but out all their social media

[BIONIC]

Discussing the most important issue of our time in constructive:

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

We are not true to our principles. 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.

Just to be clear, what we're discussing is breaking any future twitter embeds while maintaining the already existing ones in order not to affect the readability of older threads. 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.

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?

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.

Just my two cents but Xitter needs to go from Era. I get that Xitter is a big site worldwide but just because it is now doesn't mean it will always be and we need to stand up for positive change.

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.

Like I said, we're already working on it.

[TylenolJones]

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

They always find something. They can never be happy.

[xiceman191]

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 

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

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?

r/OptimistsUnite is a shitty subreddit who capes for Elon, so they will not be banning it.

I don't know anything about the subreddit referenced here, but this post made me laugh.

"Those putrid optimists... Don't they know the END TIMES are NIGH!?"

It's hard for people to wrap their head around the idea, but the world is at war. It doesn't resemble the physical wars of yesterday because the wars of today are mostly being done virtually.

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.

More surprising that the Football game without FIFA didn’t meet expectations.

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.

[DavidCroquet]

FIFA will give them the license back if EA pulls a barve.

[Boredfrom]

Make the games smaller. Lower the production cost and timeframe. Adjust expectations.

Companies would rather risk everything on ever growing bigger projects to make all the money than keep things realistic and make only some of the money.

COVID also played a role in fucking with game development budgets overall, but it's mostly because companies don't give a fuck if they have to close a studio or lay off hundreds, their stock just goes up.
