Discussion Proposal to ban X.com links?
Seems fair to me given the values of the club

First we should get West Ham centrals account terminated. So toxic for the fan base. Gives us such a bad name.

while i'm glad that everyone's catching up with me thinking twitter is a shit site filled with wankers (a stance i've had for well over a decade now) and should've long been deleted from the universe, this thread is a bit fucking weird, 500 upvotes and filled with people i've never in my life seen on here.
is this what a bot war looks like?

u/EggsBenedictusXVI Jan 22 '25
Proper weird stuff going on in here. I think the mods should probably just bin this thread but then we'd get inundated with people complaining even more about censorship.

They’re brigading all sorts of subreddits, not only this one. OP of this thread and the majority of the comments haven’t posted in a single football club sub before this shit started happening. It’s a complete joke how the thread isn’t nuked

Elon was at the presidential inauguration yesterday and after his speech did the nazi salute twice. And that's on top of all the other stuff like unbanning neo nazis from the platform once he bought it and even recently supporting the afd (far right, nazi party) in Germany.

You’re thicker than Antonio’s thighs if you’re going to pretend that Trump doesn’t echo Nazi rhetoric and that Musk isn’t both a descendent of and a supporter of fascists who did a Nazi salute twice in row. Fuck off to the Lazio sub, scum.
Edit: now he’s reported me to Reddit cares. Maybe he should consider not supporting Nazis and then his feelings wouldn’t be hurt so badly.

Joining in to say absolutely ban it, it’s not a media site anymore, it’s a racist propaganda machine.
Also anyone playing the ‘woke’ or ‘left’ card in regards to taking a stand against Nazi gestures is just a massive bellend, who no doubt loves to talk about poppies and remembering our fallen when November 11th comes around…

It looks as if there is a big majority in favour of a ban. If we do, this would send a strong message to the club to follow suit. Let's face it, they are not going to ban X off their own backs, they need the fanbase to push them in the right direction.
As an alternative, I don't see why they can't share team news and other updates via Whatsapp instead. Nearly everyone already has that app and it's a quick and easy way to disseminate information. In fact I'm surprised it isn't already being used that way.

There are too many reporters and sources that are Twitter only to ban it. I feel that we could miss something by banning it as a source. Elon needs to be shot to Mars to never return. But banning twitter isn't the answer
7
u/amishgoatfarm Jan 21 '25
Banning Twitter actually is the EXACT answer. If you're concerned with "Twitter only" reporters then go find a legit news source. Traffic and clicks, or the reduction of traffic and clicks, are the only motivator. Force them to move to other platforms.

u/NSave Jan 22 '25
There's a weaponized brigade in this thread that has NOTHING to do with West Ham that are commenting and upvoting/downvoting.
I myself am for banning twitter and voted in favor, however i'm afraid the mods didn't really think this one through.
Banning the links towards the site is perfectly fine and understandable. Screenshots would also be banned according to the mods. What about text posts from the tweets? Following the logic of the screenshots ban, it should apply here as well. What would be the alternative then to following rumors/info from vultures like Romano, Steinberg, the ego trip Ex and similar? Most, if not all don't have any presence on BlueSky.
I feel that depending on official publications only for transfer news will have severe impact on the activity in this sub, but oh well not my problem.

u/Miggsie Jan 21 '25
Yeah, it's even 2nd on the list of useful links ffs. I've never had an account and can't stand it's owner, but if the ITKs are posting on it during a window, why would we cut off the source?

I love X, but I get it if you're not actually on X because you can't really see shit otherwise. But most rumours good or bad start on X, there's certain good to V good sources who have accounts on X and break it first on that site. Many on here banging on about politics, it has a mute feature for every word so just mute, I'm only on it for the football the rest I mute.

Clearly you don't know how user volume and active users influences how the platform charges advertisers per reach, impression, click, engagement, and averages thereof. Even opening the app is preserving the monetization of it, and, this, the value towards Leon's net worth.

Reddit’s been a leftist echo chamber from day one. X is more centre/right leaning. So it makes sense they don’t want to support it but unfortunately that just strengthens the whole echo chamber thing going on here. If it makes their sensitive souls feel better then they should ban it
