We would have reddit screenshots of twitter screenshots
Ban video posts with no description first
100000000%
People would probably finally start using xcancel
I wasn't convinced until now.
Use xcancel, you assholes
we should ban pictures of text
be me
want to post a greentext to chapo dot chat
Removed by mod "pictures of text are not allowed"
okay.jpg
start typing up le maymay to post it
click "create"
text doesn't turn green
no meme arrows
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU
>newfriends cant meme arrow
at least that says what it says in the title and alt text
Since lemmy doesn't really allow hypertext, I think I would be okay with pictures of ergodic text like House of Leaves
I only post from X dot com, the everything app.
What is this “twitter”?
Banning twitter posts would be asinine. Hexbear already tried to do that when Elon bought twitter and it failed.
This is because many news agencies, journalists, public figures, and even governments post new information on twitter before any other website.
A twitter post is good as long as the hexbear post gives a link to the tweet and the tweet is from a reliable twitter account.
The worst posts on hexbear are the reposted images and videos from reddit without verifying that the material is legitimate or linking to the original source.
Naw, let's just give it a try
it's always people with 0 posts telling me how to post. I say this to mean that everyone should post more.
i don't need to post to know a link to a video with no description is low-effort and low-quality
Ok, let's not do it then
Twitter screenshots have been with us since the days of old on the chapo subreddit.

provide link or lib

linking directly to x results in week long ban, USE FUCKING XCANCEL IM NEVER GETTING AN ACCOUNT
Linking to the original source is always better. Work around sites come and go leaving deadlinks. Let your browser worry about redirecting to xcancel.
what would happen if we banned r/trueanon reposts
It'll be all r/tankiethedeprogram posts
all of our hearts would grow 3 sizes
I honestly don't know how anyone goes on that hellsite anymore. Any screenshots I get are from other sources.
Would Twitter screenshots as Beanis thought bubbles still be allowed?
X 
What about a technical solution?
If someone posts a twitter link the backend should rewrite it to an xcancel link. I think it would be a pretty simple fix that would prevent sending traffic to once of the worst fash sites while also making it easy for people to post links.
I don't really like xcancel. It doesn't even appear to archive stuff and is slow as fuck.
i would rather see bluesky banned because I think it woukd be funny
Maybe we need some labelling system (like CW:x.com) so people who don't want to see it can filter it out. (of course would require lemmy to support filters too).
I guess they can be relevant, if a public figure posted something bad and then deleted it...
Immediate uptick in Reddit screenshots
