A lot of subreddits are banning/proposing to ban X links in response to Führer Elon’s wonderful gesture of love and tolerance. Should this instance follow suit?

Also, Instagram/Threads/Meta links. Same question.

    We tried centralization and doesn’t go well.

    Well, no. Centralised social media did, and is, doing extremely well by most metrics.

    We can build our ivory towers and feel happy and safe within them, but it doesn’t change the fact that we’re not missed and the above probably like that we’re not there pointing out its flaws.

      Centralised social media did, and is, doing extremely well by most metrics.

      Such as censorship (everywhere). shadowbanning (X), ownership by an egomaniac slyster (X), blue badges (X), and being ganged up on (reddit). i’m ignoring platforms for addicts such as tiktok, youtube, and instagram.

      Which matrix are we ignoring in order come to the conclusion legacy social media is doing well? Be specific.

      we’re not missed

      You are right.

      At the same time, those platforms are not providing enough value for users to stick around.
