Going forward, we will not be allowing direct links to Twitter/X posts here on SquaredCircle. *

There’s no need to be driving traffic to Twitter at this point, let’s be honest. For those without accounts it’s a mess to try and use, it doesn’t embed properly, plus a large number of wrestlers and companies have moved over to Bluesky (tho sadly not all of course). Plus ya know…everything else.

Should anyone have news/something funny/etc to post from Twitter/X please:

A) Use a url replacer (such as https://nitter.poast.org/, just replace the corresponding part of the URL)
B) Find the comparable post on Bluesky and post that (e.g. Fightful posts, which are posted in both locations)
C) Post a screenshot of the post instead. (Either in the original post, or a comment, or whereever works).

It’s obviously hard to avoid using it entirely until all wrestlers/wrestling media does, but it’s at least the first step.


* I know this probably affects me much more than any of you as I post everything but still lol~

    Not the first downvote I’ve gotten, not the last. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’ll be able to live.

    You’re supposed to be on the floor unable to console yourself with how dumb someone on the internet whom you don’t know finds this.

    Well the amount of people who post Twitter url’s here is me, myself and I. I can go back 2mo (which is as far as I please for this scenario) and the number of people who make threads with Twitter links besides me is nil.

    While I don’t make posts often I can see on three occasions I have used it to make a topic. One of which was at 3mo ago with WWE releases, and another at 4mo ago with the new NXT design.

    You’ve also been at this long enough to know Musk keeps trying to break nitter and it was almost gone for a bit there. Screen shots are also easily faked.

    Not posting Twitter links at all, and going on with their day.

    Not a problem my overlord. (-_-)ゝ

    As I said I support not wanting to give him business or use his shit, I just think this isn’t it.

    Now for some brevity… on t.lemmy.zip your shrugging dude has a huge arm on one side.

      Hey, now! You’re not supposed to be joking and civil, you’re supposed to be slinging slurs and insults back and forth un…

      Fuck it, I’m not finishing it, y’all get the joke.
