Proposal to ban Social Media site X

Twitter has in the past been an incredibly active and useful part of the overall Doctor Who fanbase. Yes, as discourse shifted in the 2010s, it became a less pleasant space to spend time on, but that is nothing compared to what happened when it was bought out in 2022 by Musk.

Aside from the rename to the far more generic X, the website formerly known as Twitter became progressively less and less moderated when it came to far right discussions, while at the same time a lot more rife with misinformation as Musk devalued the Blue Check Marks.

Given everything Musk has done over the past year and indeed, just recently when he gave two Nazi Salutes in a row, it has become increasingly difficult to separate Xitter from the far right allignment of its new owner. As such there is a growing movement on various Subreddits to ban links to Xitter overall, whether they be sports, anime or comic books. Subreddits such as r/Bleach, r/One Piece, r/DCcomics, r/Marvel and r/comicbooks have all taken the plunge while further subreddits have their mod teams actively discussing it.

I feel that a fandom like Doctor Who is fundamentally incompatible with what Xitter has become just like these other subreddits to the point that I would like open up this discussion. Can we ban X as well?

If people do want to post tweets from X, there have been discussions on these other subreddits to instead use Screenshots over links to discourage traffic. Or encourage the use of Social Media like Bluesky which many former Twitter users are moving over to. These options aren't perfect, but this is a bad situation overall.

Just keep in mind though that if you feel that someone is arguing in bad faith, whether they are agreeing with you or not, try not to engage with them. As people used to say "Don't feed the trolls."
