Can We Block x.com And twitter.com Links on Lemmy.ml? (lemmy.ml)

With Elon Musk's Nazi Salute and manipulation of twitter, he has more than shown his true side. Many communities have started blocking Twitter links. There are multiple mirrors you can use to show posts without giving traffic and ad money to Musk

xcancel.com, nitter.privacydev.net, nitter.poast.org, lightbrd.com, etc.

See https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances

Can we do something instance wide here?

I'd be fine with that. Best way would just be to report posts that do, so we can ask their creators to use the xcancel links, and remove them if they don't.

Great! Can we add that to the instance rule list on the sidebar?

While I don't mind this, I barely see anyone posting twitter links here anyway, so it likely won't make much difference, even to us, let alone to twitter

Then not many people will be negatively affected, great!

Those usually get downvoted to hell anyways.

Not that I'm an .ml member but, thanks for considering this in the first place.
