Wasn't Lemmy supposed to be for free speech/anti-censorship and shit? Or maybe I got it wrong? Yall do realize there are many reasonable things on X and not just the right-wing/Elon stuff. Right?

You have to be willing to walk away from and ignore corporate media platforms, or else they'll never be defeated. And content creators need to also learn to not post their stuff to these platforms.
Yes, we do realize that. But we can no longer fight them on a platform literally controlled algorithmically from the top-down by the worlds richest man who is backed by the commander-in-chief of the world's best-funded military. Maybe deleting our accounts is a better strategy then ratioing losers on a platform subject to increasingly open and brazen manipulation.
Posting on a website ran by an upper class fascist is just giving your name to the upcoming hitlist

I'd be more than happy to see all links pointing to xitter banned. FB/Meta would be nice too, but I think it's more important to sending a clear signal on neo-nazi salutes being a red line.
I never click them anyway. If the meme isn't wild enough to get pixelated into a shitpost gif then I don't need to see it. Not once in my lifetime have I ever clicked a Twitter/Facebook/Instagram link and thought that the click was worth it.
As a source for OC art and pics? No
As a URL in post? Yes
Yes
Stop asking and just ban it already
Yes.
Absolutely
Yes. Not only from Twitter, though. Spotify gave money to Trump's inauguration. So did Google, and Amazon.
If you dont like X posts, you can not open X links. But dont make others unable to view it if they want
i respect your opinion, your right to have an opinion, glad you shared your opinion, glad to read opposing opinions, Glad your opinion was not suppressed or censored or shadow banned, that someone having purchased access doesn't drown out your opinion, and others refrained from ganging up to suppress the opposing view.
Sometimes in echo chambers the opposing opinion turns out to be right.
This is not one of those cases. <-- my opinion position
But i really liked that you posted and the opposing opinion was given a fair access to eye balls
I said that if you dont agree with something, thats ok but dont take it away from other people. You said that same thing, but also that im wrong. Thats interesting
Clearly marked and qualified it as just my opinion
Will survive someone disagreeing with you.
I just pointed that its interesting that you agreed with me and said that i was wrong at the same time. Really dont care if you agree or not
Yes. Mostly because it's difficult to view the full content without logging in, and I refuse to do that on principle. Screenshots and mirrors are fine, I just don't think we should be generating traffic to that site.
Do you think Lemmy should act like Meta, which banned Pixelfed links and Mastodon instances?

Yes.
Add youtube and, facebook to that list
No. Banning any kind of link is bad. People should decide themself if they want to follow a link. Extensions like the firefox extension redirector even allow to redirect to archive websites directly, to preserve sources of knowledge while avoiding the mainstream platform of the link.
does not make any sense to ban if you dont want x link just dont open it but letting data to not flow on instance and instead using screenshot will just decrease the storage
No
There are still some anti empire posts on X.
Does Musk want us to brigade his threads? I guess if it sells more Tide then probably, but I've never seen an ad on X.
I think both Twitter and Musk are incredibly toxic for society, but we don't want to set that precedent. People can make their own choice whether to visit the site. At most, links to Twitter should be flagged as such.
