Well it is run by a jerkoff.
Imagine you had a relationship that turned out toxic, and then you decided to protect yourself by severing it. Later, when you even hear about X, your heart is filled with negative emotions, and you realize you need to move on.

Beware of this festering pile of excrement that is the conservative subreddit. Ready your sanity and eye bleach before venturing in

They are still on reddit
To befair the only lemmy community I've seen thats blocked X is /c/Playstation.
So reddit still has 49 more than we do.
In fairness I don't see a lot of Twitter links in general here with or without a ban. Most people use xcancel when they have to and have no other option.
IMO a ban here would be more symbolic than effective.
I think vegan did. Not sure if thats on .world though

or !vegan@lemmy.world
Edit: I am still confused about linking, sorry.
Yeah that'll show him. I'm sure he's gonna lose a ton of sleep over the miniscule amount of traffic that's going to drop for his shitty website that he bought and drove into the ground.
Wait actually he cares way too much about how people view him so it might actually bother him a ton. It's hard to say really.
Either way stop using Twitter and reddit. Both terrible.
Nah, they're not big on non-compliance. So consider an uprising. Spez wants to play with a big oligarchs, he won't take a chance on pissing anyone off.
And block all their domains/IP ranges too. People really need to understand how third party tracking works.
Good idea. We should do this here.
Assume a single instance should be able to do this no? If so, kind of sad that I don't think any have that I am aware of.
/c/Playstation has, and lemmy.world has asked users if they should as a sticky.

I wonder how long their corporate overlords will allow this to continue.
Kinda wild to me it took this long but I'm not going to be mad about doing the right thing.
And so begins the stun lock. Genius move actually with adversaries so predictable
To be fair, Reddit bans everyone for everything now
Wow, leave it to redditors to make change without actually making change. A few of those subs had open discussions on instituting a ban and they discovered x links were in the dozens per year. Musk is definitely gonna feel that. What they should have done is ban all twitter images as well, those fuckers make up 3/4 of posts on /r/popular. Or ban/restrict musk news, because it feels like the remainng 1/4 posts are "news" that cover musk, including dozens of discussions on whether the nazi cheated in fucking videogames or not ( same as here come to think of it ). But no, they're addicted to those and unable to make meaningful changes, so they're left with these halfcocked "bans".
