In reply to the discussion: Should DU Remove Twitter Content? [View all]moniss
(6,414 posts)are seeing coming at us in short order is tons of Tweets about every crackpot Hunter Biden post getting linked over here in posts by trolls. I'd rather not have to spend time wading through all of that. It gets to be a bit like having to wade through hundreds of e-mails every day just to get to the one or two that you need/want to respond to. I think the mods here do a good job and loading them up with having to do tons of removals of hate/racist/anti-Semitic/homophobic etc. tweets that will be getting linked to posts here by the GQP trolls is not necessary and can be mostly avoided. If someone sees something on that platform and wants to say "hey I saw someone say....fill in the blank...." that's fine but you and I know that these kinds of posters are all about misleading people into clicking on something. I don't believe it's necessary for us to give that company/individuals clicks in order for someone to share with us a description of something they saw that they feel may be of interest over here.
This is just my take on it and I don't want to see the DU devolve into more and more crap postings. I know there may be some good people on that site but they have basically gutted their moderation and so I think it is wise to look ahead since we know what happens when moderation is minimal. Therefore I think the poll is timely in order to gauge how people on DU may feel about this and I think the discussion and variety of opinions here on all aspects is healthy.
