As for this community to comply with the latest instance rule, Xitter (X/Twitter) links won’t be allowed. (This has been effective since 26-27th depending on your timezone.)

Link to the original post here

To summarize:

  • No X/Twitter links, shortened X/Twitter links or similar allowed. Screenshots from X/Twitter are still allowed but better avoided if possible.

  • Exception: in rare cases, https://xcancel.com/ versions of a link may be allowed, but this will be exclusive to some hard to fact check sources that DO require a link to an X/Twitter post.

No other frontend links or loopholes will be allowed.

Thank you for your time and understanding. Stay private!

    We do have to be strict about this, as this rule comes from the instance and we must comply with that.

    Still, avoiding traditional social media in general is a thing I support, so for me this rule is great. And I believe it also aligns with the view of a community who cares about privacy, as X/Twitter does like users data a lot.

      Can you link to the explanation on this instance? As an outsider, it’s not immediately apparent to me.
