Should Twitter links be banned from lemmy.world?

I'm not sure if this is the best place for this post, I'm just curious to see what everybody else thinks.

It seems like a lot of communities (outside lemmy) have had enough and are banning twitter links after Elons recent Nazi salute.

Direct xitter links? Yes. Ban them. They bring no value a a screenshot couldn’t provide.
- Anything worth any value on Twitter will be reported on by another source. Link to those if you want corroborating evidence. The point is to not give the Nazis the traffic at all.
Yes. Fuck giving them traffic, and you have to log in to view parts of it anyway - screenshots are better if truly needed.
The playstation community just did.
And nothing of value was lost.
Just screenshot it. I want nothing to do with that cesspool.
Yes
Yes
Why not just post screenshots? Not give anyone reason to accidentally give them traffic. People can still see what you wanted, win win
If Lemmy doesn't, who will?
Yes. Twitter has nothing of value left to offer the world. Anyone who's still on that platform is either not paying attention or supports neo Nazis.
Yes, ban direct links to twitter.
Yes they should be banned
blahaj local here, I believe that there is little to be gained from allowing continued linking to these walled gardens (especially since accessing anything on Twitter without an account is more of a hassle than it's worth.) I think it would be good to cut off the Twitter links, possibly with the rare exception for archive pages deemed able to promote discussion well enough to be worth compromise?
I'm not a .world local if that matters, but yes.
yep
Twitter no longer exists.
But X links should, indeed, be banned.
- If the Musknazi wants you to call it X, YOU FUCKIN CALL IT TWITTER
  
  That is an excellent point.
I would say yes at this point, for sure.
No. As much as I disagree with giving them traffic, they do allow for context if someone wants to divulge. Can we ban them from the main post link and have them in the description of the post?
- I don't have an account and musk stopped letting people without accounts read twitter links a while ago
No, lemmy.world should not censor itself. I can decide for myself which link I click on. If people think they have to link to Twitter, then let them do it. I will never do that and I will never follow Twitter links. But I would still like to be able to do so on principle.

Same in English.
同じです、でもに日本語。
Of course, we need the echo chamber to feel more like an echo chamber, you know?
No, because this :::waves arms maniacally::: is a nothingburger.

  Like this?
