The cascade of link bans came after Musk made a hand gesture at a Monday rally that many compared to a Nazi salute, which many cited in their protests, among other things.

    Lemmy instances should follow suit.

      I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet

          I just added it as a rule for the communities I moderate. I also set my Bluesky feeds to filter out X links.

      Disagree, but I also almost never follow them anyway. I pretty much only follow a link if I think it’s to a first party article or something.

      I’ve thought that since they started locking almost everything behind a login

      De-centralized as long as you go with what I say…

        I’m not sure you understand what decentralized means.

        You’re perfectly free to go on Lemmy instances that don’t have that as a rule.

        How can you have been on Lemmy longer than me yet have such a fundamental misunderstanding of centralized/non-federated vs decentralized/federated?

        Here we go. If let’s just say all the instances came together and did the same ban because some hivemind mentality had taken over. It would metaphorically be centralized again. The chances of that happening-probably zero.
