Should r/Halo ban or restrict X/Twitter posts?

Hey everyone,

As I'm sure many of you have seen today, plenty of subs (with user support) have decided to move away from X as an allowed submission link in their communities. The mod team has been reached out to in modmail and there have been a few threads asking for the change, so we wanted to more formally reach out soliciting feedback.

Obviously some recent developments expedited the switch, but over the past few months a number of big subs (for example, r/formula1) were already starting to move away from that platform for usability reasons. Without an account direct links to X won't let you view replies/context for tweets and may not let you view the content at all; switching to screenshots and websites that don't require accounts would improve subreddit usability. That said, making the change would have some growing pains (community managers and content creators are still predominantly on X) but if this is something that has support then we'd do our best to enforce it.

Possibilities:

• Ban X direct links while allowing tweet screenshots; would also make sense to require a tweet in the comments as proof the image isn't fake
• Allow X direct links but prefer screenshots and alternative social media if the same content exists elsewhere/is posted within a reasonable amount of time
• No change in moderation
