Sudden movement in the sports subs to ban twitter seems to be emerging. r/hockey and others.

It seems there is a movement on a lot of the sports subreddits. Especially Canadian hockey subreddits to ban twitter links.

hockey https://old.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/1i6h6sm/can_we_ban_twitter_links_now/

They all seem to be getting massive support and upmarseys. Some subreddits like hockey are user proposed but others like the Maple Leafs sub are being hosted by the mods.

leafs https://old.reddit.com/r/leafs/comments/1i6kj05/subreddit_discussion_should_we_ban_twitter_links/

This extends beyond hockey though. Liverpool football club has the post locked down while the mods discuss. Same situation with Manchester United

RedDevils https://old.reddit.com/r/reddevils/comments/1i6idm3/proposal_to_ban_xcom_links/

I have nothing extra to add but here's Vancouver Canucks sub too just to show that it's a lot of subreddits.

Canucks https://old.reddit.com/r/canucks/comments/1i6kc8y/can_we_also_ban_xtwitter_links_from_this_sub/

Lots of discussion of Elon of course but a lot of people also just pointing out that X links are simply trash anyway and suck to use.

Some of these posts seem to be getting brigaded according to the mods at reddevils.

New mod seems to have taken over the stickied comment now. Saying that they are discussing it internally.

Original mod refusing.

Edit 4: leaking into some non sport subs?

ehbuddyhoser https://old.reddit.com/r/EhBuddyHoser/comments/1i6mccr/proposal_to_ban_xcom_links/

Mod has already said no. Although one of the reasons is the mod doesn't remember there ever being a single twitter link post anyway. Rather than a ideological reason.
