In reply to the discussion: Ban x- xitter links now. Stop making excuses. Reddit is doing this now. [View all]LeftInTX
(32,811 posts)6. We're not the size of reddit. All that will happen here, is that less information will be available.
It won't cause important people to switch to blue sky.
Tweets are sometimes the only source of information. Too many Democrats are still on twitter and only about 1/2 of my local ones are one blue sky.
It takes bigger names to take it down.
So far, I haven't seen that Reddit has abandoned twitter. I'm reading that there is talk of it.
Reddit has 73 million daily users. Those that use twitter will than migrate to other platforms when they see that their tweets are not being shared.

OP
I'm not sure how reddit works, but if reddit goes to an all out X ban, then it will hurt X signficantly.

You know things are already depressing enough. Do you really need to accuse DU members of being collaborators?

I stopped going there the day after the election, and deleted my account on the inauguration.

You can ban them, in a sense, by placing the posters who post Twitter links on ignore.
