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.
While I generally think such things should be community level as default, I’m fine with it if it happens.
I haven’t run across an x link in over a year that was worth clicking on. It’s a shitty site/service that’s turned into a festering pit of nastiness. It’s not something I feel strongly enough about to campaign for it being instance banned, but it’s already something I avoid.
Someone posted that there’s a service ‘xcancel’ that lets one view a tweet w/o an account or logging in. Just add ‘cancel’ after the ‘x’, eg. https://xcancel.com/…
Isn’t this just a nitter instance? I thought nitter died when twitter removed their free API…
No idea. However, it seemed to be working a few days ago, someone posted tweets there and one could view w/o hitting the main site.
