If you can't find it anywhere open. Take what's in the tweet and post it to your mastodon and link that. It helps bring that information to others in the fediverse.

The PlayStation community for Lemmy! Come and join us for daily news and discussions!
Rules:
- Stay on topic.
- No hate speech or personal attacks.
- No console wars or PC elitism. We are all gamers.
- Be a decent human.
- No piracy talk, links, or directions to copy-written content. Emulation discussions are allowed.
- No NSFW content, shilling, self promotion, ads, spam, low effort posts, memes, trolling, etc.
- All bots must have mod permission prior to implementation and must follow instance-wide rules. For lemmy.world bot rules click here
- Do not make false reports. If you believe a post is a borderline rule break that is fine, but using the report feature as a super-downvote is not allowed. You will be met with a warning, followed by a ban for abuse of the report feature.
- Links to Twitter, X, or any alternative version such as Nitter, Xitter, Xcancel, etc. are no longer allowed. This includes any "connected-but-separate" web services such as pbs. twimg. com. The only exception will be screenshots in the event that the news cannot be sourced elsewhere. Please report posts containing these links so that mods can remove them.
- Have fun!

Good call, mods, no sarcasm.
Thank you
I'd love this rule to become popular on all the good instances
Thank you for your service, mods! 🫡 A lot of places online will bemoan the Nazi takeover of Twitter and then keep supporting them. You guys actually have the balls to do something. Thanks!
Nice, hopefully this catches on
I've seen 2 of these posts today
c/playstation isn't playing around
Good fuckem
I like it. I left when it became serious that he was going to buy it. No regrets.
I hope other communities follow this lead.
good
Does it also include links to pbs.twimg.com (CDN where images are hosted) and similar connected-but-separate web services?
This is a great question. I am fairly confident that a post directly to those related web services has never occurred in this community. We don't even really get too many X links either but there are many game announcements and rumors that occur on X which have been posted here. So I will say yes, but we will rely on the community to report these posts for inspection and subsequent removal. If it becomes an issue we will name the additional web services and make the rule more specific. If it becomes even more of an issue I will look at implementing an automod.
Edit;
The ban is more about denying support of the platform in the form of preventing web traffic. So in the spirit of that, any X-affiliated domains fall under the ban.
I have thought to do this for a while as well in some forms of communities i'm a mod or admin. Sadly a lot companies announce something on X, for example nintendo in the last year about switch 2, so i haven't done it yet. I probably have use in the past some links to source like that because i usually like to use the original source of a news. But i agree to refrain from using a plattform like X.
This is why we will still allow posts in the form of a screenshot. But we will not be supporting traffic to the site or reliance upon any 3rd party alternative site that does.
Luckily for us, PlayStation started an official Blue sky account. I am also a mod of Nintendo on lemmy.world. I am discussing with the mods there about implementing the same rule. The only difference is that I am the sole originator of this community, whereas c/Nintendo was originated by another mod (which is in another time zone so I am waiting for their input instead of moving forward unilaterally).
Why? (Honest question)
The long-term reason is that the platform as a whole is becoming more and more (arguably already is) a safe haven for fascism, racism, xenophobia, anti-lgbtqia+, etc.
The acute reason is Elon giving Nazi salutes at the inauguration being the final straw. This community will not support Nazism or fascism in any way whatsoever.
Previously we showed a preference for links to Nitter or Xitter but it wasn't a rule. Now we reject the platform in all of its incarnations and in any way that provides traffic and or reliance upon it.
Right on, man.
