Other social media sites have been doing it. Do we want to join in?
EDIT: Some people are saying that this is a power that ought to be left to communities… do we have a specific delineation of powers that relegates these decisions to communities? If not, then I recommend that these users propose such a delineation of powers. I would be very ok with this proposal failing because instead we got a more explicit set of checks and balances.
I like this idea. Two things to clarify, although they may seem obvious.
Otherwise it sounds good to me.
I agree with both of these points.
In your opinion, should “posts” include the body, or just the post URL?
I’m not sure. That could probably be left as a gray area, ultimately it will be up to individual moderators to remove these posts so maybe we leave that to their discretion.
Like if someone writes multiple paragraphs and they happen to link a tweet to help support what they’re saying, I think that’s fine. But if the body is just a link to a tweet to get around the ban, then obviously that should be removed.
Banned posts should include the URL, but screencaps should be okay. Twitter and all of social media needs to learn that if The Slime that leaked out of your parent’s/grandparent’s TV set now leaks out of the internet, we need a 1990’s-style lessening of regulations, except because the censorship is not wholly governments induced, we instead must add regulation specifically to prevent corporations from filtering content for advertising purposes. No more political ads, no targeted content, no more false copyright claims. All of it must be sued into oblivion, the profitability of the internet instantly torched, and a peer-to-peer Extended Reality federated network must rise from it’s ashes, or we will be doomed to a life like Brave New World but with 1984 surveillance.
