Either https://xcancel.com/ or https://archive.is/ is fine then, but only where necessary as detailed in the original post.

I think either https://xcancel.com/ or https://archive.is/ is fine, but only where necessary as detailed in the original post.

I know, it's difficult when people pile on with bad faith takes. Anyway don't worry, I think it's clear what you meant now.

Ok fair enough, I accept the explanation you provided. Folks are taking issue with the following comment in particular.

What does it take to impress you? To what would you assign their disturbing success?

In isolation, this sounds a little too close to admiration for the Nazis, which is why we got some reports about it. It seems to me it's just unfortunate phrasing, because together with the explanation you just provided, it sounds like a reasonable take for you not to want to paint them like some hapless foe that was easily defeated, because that discounts the difficulties faced by those who fought the bastards.

What point are you trying to make here @Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com?

Can you help recommend a reliable archiving service? We may be able to include an archive site as well for the same purpose. Xcancel was recommended by a lot of folks, so that's the main reason we picked that front end.

Would they go to all that effort to nab a few downloaders? They don't even get prosecuted if caught, usually.

If you feel like you want to always include a xcancel link alongside a tweet screenshot then I honestly doubt anyone would have a problem with it. The "rarely and sparingly" is just to make emphasize that in many cases it's not really necessary, like for memes. If there's any doubt as to whether a tweet is fake or not then I'd encourage you to provide the xcancel link.

sohn eines schweinehundes!

Hi fuckwit_mcbumble lol,

We are still configuring the threativore automod settings. Initially we will set it to autoreport any suspected violations for human review. Once we have confirmed it is working as expected then it will auto-remove the post or comment with a specific modlog reason to explain the policy.

I think our preference would be to stick to xcancel.com links if you need to link for factchecking. I hadn't given much consideration to archive links though, to be honest. I'd be interested to know your thoughts on those, and I'll review the comments again on that topic. We can always tweak the policy if need be.

I think they could be summarized as:

• Opposition to any form of censorship and/or concerns about "slippery slope" of banning Xitter links - i.e., what about Meta links?
• It's important to be able to post newsworthy tweets in order to hold them to account and have a record.
• Concerns about fact-checking - i.e., how can we check veracity of Twitter links if all we have is screenshots?
• Some folks wanted to ban all Xitter links, including screen shots and xcancel links, for a complete blackout.

We've tried our best to address those concerns in the policy above, which is a bit of a compromise position that tries to take as many of these concerns into account as we reasonably could. But of course some are mutually exclusive positions, so it's not going to satisfy 100% of users.

Thanks for the question. The ban also applies to other Xitter-owned domains such as their photo blobstore (pbs) domain.

We had a total of 7 "vouched" for users (you can see this by hovering over the icons). Once a user has been vouched for, then they can participate in all votes unless that privilege is subsequently withdrawn.

Dbzer0 is stable, relaxed with the rules, and perfect for a topic like this.

Haha, perfectly put in the original post too.

i figured the punchline would come eventually

Key few paragraphs below:

But the two groups also want different things. The nationalist right wants an economy that prioritizes and assists American-born families (specifically, traditional nuclear ones), sometimes at the expense of business interests; the tech right wants a deregulated economy that bolsters its bottom line. The nationalist right wants to stop almost all immigration; the tech right wants to bring in immigrant workers as it pleases. The nationalist right wants to return America to a pre-internet era that it perceives as stable and prosperous; the tech right wants to usher in a bold, globally focused new economy.

Already, the cracks have started to show. Last month, Trump’s pick of the Silicon Valley venture capitalist Sriram Krishnan as an AI adviser led to a bitter and very public spat between the two camps over visas for highly skilled immigrants. (“FUCK YOURSELF in the face,” Musk at one point told his critics on the right.) At the time, I argued that the MAGA honeymoon is over. The disagreements have only intensified. Last week, after former President Joe Biden used his farewell speech to warn about the influence of Silicon Valley oligarchs and the “tech industrial complex,” the white-nationalist influencer Nick Fuentes posted on X that “Biden is right.” Bannon in particular has not relented: Earlier this month, he told an Italian newspaper that Musk is a “truly evil person” and that would get the billionaire “kicked out” of Trump’s orbit by Inauguration Day. (Considering that Musk is reportedly getting an office in the West Wing, Bannon does not seem to have been successful in that quest.) In an interview with my colleagues Ashley Parker and Michael Scherer, Bannon described the tech titans as “nerds” whom Trump was humiliating. Seeing them on Inauguration Day was “like walking into Teddy Roosevelt’s lodge and seeing the mounted heads of all the big game he shot,” Bannon said.

[...]

We already can guess how this will end. During his first administration, despite making populist promises on the campaign trail, Trump eventually sided with the wealthy. Bannon, Trump’s chief strategist during the start of his first term, pushed for tax hikes on the wealthy. Seven months into his presidency, Trump fired him, and then proceeded to pass tax cuts. In his new administration, the nationalist right will certainly make gains—it is thrilled with Trump’s moves around birthright citizenship and his pledge to push forward with mass deportations. But if it’s ever in conflict with what Trump’s rich advisers in the tech world want, good luck.

Remember, it was Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Musk who sat on the dais at Trump’s inauguration. Bannon, Keeperman, and Kirk were nowhere in sight.

Are they both supposed to be the exact same repack? I looked at your previous post and a virustotal result like that can be quite normal for certain types of patchers. But it could be a virus (you never know) so if you have the option of a cleaner looking repack then I'd say go for that one!

Here you go, and thanks!

Thanks, I've got so used to using lemmyverse.link lately that I didn't even think of that.
