Quick update on Xitter links (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

As for this community to comply with the latest instance rule, Xitter (X/Twitter) links won't be allowed. (This has been effective since 26-27th depending on your timezone.)

Link to the original post here

To summarize:

No X/Twitter links, shortened X/Twitter links or similar allowed. Screenshots from X/Twitter are still allowed but better avoided if possible.
Exception: in rare cases, https://xcancel.com/ versions of a link may be allowed, but this will be exclusive to some hard to fact check sources that DO require a link to an X/Twitter post.

No other frontend links or loopholes will be allowed.

Thank you for your time and understanding. Stay private!

Why xcancel specifically? It's not the only remaining nitter instance.
