I thought linking to tweets was pretty much banned in the fediverse. Apparently not?
Edit: sorry for the thought crime of thinking I saw some general agreement in several posts a couple weeks ago where it seemed wildly popular to ban links to a platform that funds Nazis. I'll try not to commit that heinous act again.
It depends on the instance, because there are no universal rules across the fediverse, that's the point of the fediverse, and I don't believe this instance voted to do the pointless act of banning Twitter.
I fully realize this. I'm referring to a larger discussion which was an idea being thrown out which a lot of communities and instances seemed on board with.
That’s fine but your comment was basically “oh not everyone is doing the same thing on the fediverse?” Which you just acknowledged is the point of the fediverse. So you should criticize specific instances rather than just making a blanket statement
In order to block that, every single admin on every single instance would have to set up blocking tools. From there, anyone that decides to start their own instance would have to decide to also set up those tools. Thats the main draw of the fediverse, you cant block anything because someone can always federate with an instance that doesnt have that thing blocked.
