Some days ago I made a rule 9 which goes:

(Rule implemented 30.06.2023) Don’t make posts with link/s to tweets as their main focus. Melon decided that the content on the platform is going to be locked behind login requirement and I’m not going to force everyone to make a twitter account just so they can see some news.

From what I see you can view tweets now but you can’t see comments for them etc.

Should I revert the ban or should I do the same like I did with reddit in rule 4?:

No posts linking to reddit posts.

Personally I want to keep the ban because the platform doesn’t deserve traffic and is very unstable right now where we can’t trust that they won’t block us from viewing the tweets again. What do you think? I want to hear your opinions on the topic. I will do my final decision tomorrow.

    TBH, paywalled content leads to a lot of people who haven’t read it participating in shallow and contentious conversations based around clickbaity titles. I say keep the rule of no twitter.
