I’d argue X is giving Musk plenty of data too (from the platform and indirectly whatever government agency he is currently invading).

Sure. And maybe he’ll do illegal shit with it. Shit, maybe he already is. But at least for now there arent claims that he is hence them not being subject to the same level of scrutiny and censure as TikTok.

Oh agree. I’m just already cynical (so to speak).

On a personal note I’m not on Twitter/X. Can’t be doing with that. It’s a shame as it is a great source of info, but for the most part, that has been overcome by the cesspool that it is. Then when you take into account the owner, it’s a clear nope from me. Other platforms are emerging. It will take a bit of getting used to, but life goes on.

Effectively since they’ve shoved it behind a wall the only thing worth posting is images and videos because they can be viewed without logging in. Where pretty much every other bit of social media doesn’t require that.
And let’s face it, it’s not helped in stopping spam.

New proposal: instead of an immediate site-wide ban, how about we start by phasing it in in stages?
E.g. let’s start by banning one specific person from sharing stuff from that Xesspit.
That’s discrimination. Just because you don’t agree with that particular poster’s views, doesn’t mean they should be banned before anyone else.

Yep, I stand with @Limiescouse

I don’t agree, because it’s not about simply about the videos, it’s about the incessant dumping all over the forums, in such volume that we’re essentially being treated to their personal feed.
You can disagree as much as you like: you’re still wrong.

Even if it was someone whose views I’d agree with, I disagree with the diarrhoea being posted all over, because that’s what it is.
Instead of banning individuals i would go with banning in certain threads. Start with prematch threads. Then move to post match and other threads in The Albert ect.
I still find @Magnus using x in the Russian War Crimes thread very useful so would keep it available for that thread as long as possible.

That’s a better idea, but perhaps too piecemeal. Maybe ban it from certain categories first, starting with The Albert and 2024/25, or something.

Why do you guys keep debating this as if this is some kind of democracy?

I believe that you can mute individuals.

We’re not.
We are laying out our own individual cases of doctrine for when someone finally has the balls to revolt and place themselves in charge as TAN’s new dictator

Just blanket ban it from the site.
Then, the people unable to use their scroll or ignore functions can finally untwist their knickers
