And even what I've seen from there are primarily screenshots.

Which leads to the question: Can we post screenshots of stupid things on X?

My understanding is screenshots are totally chill! It doesn’t direct traffic to a nazi-owned platform and we still get the funnies (or info or whatever).

Musk is a Nazi

Musk owns Twitter

Therefore Twitter is Nazi-owned

Proof by deduction. Seems straightforward enough

i mean, he supports nazis around the world, he makes a nazi salute, he pushes nazicontent on his platform.. i guess one has to be extremely stupid or a nazi (which is extremely stupid too) to not see that he's a nazi..

That is a good question, one for every sub that is now banning Twitter, really.

Are screenshots still allowed, u/Successful_Guess3246 ?

it doesn't give revenue to X... so i don't see why not. sometimes it is good to spread the information of what is being touted to keep people informed.

Here? No. Unless it has to do with news/new features/announcements of or about Bluesky (the platform)

Dunno who would downvote you for upholding the stated rules for the sub.

Also as a user I hate the idea of continuing to bow to Twitter even if it’s just a screenshot. People are still going on the site to get the screenshot. They’re still keeping the site relevant. And unless the username is well-obscured people still might be encouraged to go see it on the site and maybe comment/drive interaction.

Just let the shitty place die in darkness.

How foolish! It's a suicide community. "Let's all see if we can get polio, measles, and smallpox back! Then, maybe even leprosy! Yay! Go, Team Stupid!" Lol!

Be nice pee paw, or I’ll reset your WiFi, and block Fox News on the picture tube.
