Petition to ban links to X and Facebook
Given the increasing divisiveness and misinformation associated with platforms like Facebook and X (formerly Twitter), I would like the community to consider banning posts and links to these sites in our Reddit community so that this could help foster a more respectful and productive environment. Recent political events on these platforms have highlighted their role in spreading misleading information, stoking political polarization, and facilitating harmful echo chambers. These issues have led to the proliferation of divisive content that often detracts from meaningful discussion. By restricting links to Facebook and X, we can prioritize a more thoughtful exchange of ideas, ensuring that our community remains focused on fact-based, civil discourse while reducing the risk of external influence or manipulation from platforms that have shown a lack of accountability in moderating content.
