Vote on Whether to Allow Links to X on r/MSS
Hi Everyone,
We've been discussing the potential implications of allowing links to X (formally twitter) in our community, and we want to hear from you. Many redditors are uncomfortable with the platform's current leadership, specifically concerns regarding the behavior or views of the individual running X, who some believe aligns with harmful or extremist ideologies. Some users feel that X has become a breeding ground for online toxicity, harassment, or divisive rhetoric, which do not align with the values of this subreddit or the broader community (see removal of 4Chan).
There are differing opinions on whether links to X should be allowed here, and we'd like to make an informed decision based on the consensus of the community. We do understand that the nature of r/MSS in recent years has been built upon leakers and scoopers on X, so these restrictions could hinder visibili9ty for our community if you do think X should be banned. There are other ways around this too, like requiring the use of xcancel.com. Here you would add the word cancel between x and .com in the URL of the tweet, which also means you do not need to be logged into X to view.
Please take a moment to vote below on whether or not we should allow links to X:
- Ban all content from X/Twitter including links, archives, and screenshots.
- Ban links to X but allow archived links (i.e. xcancel.com)
- No ban, let things continue as is
This vote will remain open for one week, and we’ll make the final decision based on the results. Your input is important to us, so please be sure to participate and share any thoughts you have in the comments.
At this time, we do advise scoopers and leakers to move to other websites for continued engagement, such as BlueSky. Posts from other websites containing the same content as that posted on X will be prioritized whether or not this ban goes into effect.
Thanks,
