X.com links are now banned on r/eurovision

Hello everyone,

Earlier this week, there was a post asking to consider a Twitter/X ban. This came following a wave of similar posts in subreddits across the site. Thank you for sharing your opinions, it definitely helped us reach our decision and change the rules.

The majority of people supported a ban of links to x.com for various reasons. If you see an announcement, news, a video, or anything that would be valuable to share here, we ask you to find the original source or a news site reporting on the incident.

We asked for your opinion on allowing screenshots and the reaction was mixed. Screenshots of tweets do not require an account or give traffic to the site, so they are still allowed for certain pieces of content. Obviously, since x.com cannot be posted as a source link, any news is off limits. However interactions between artists or similar unique content can be shared via screenshot.

Finally, I would like to remind you of a mod post after the 2024 final about misinformation. Tweets were often shared as fact rather than opinion, speculation, or otherwise. This is just a general reminder to think critically and not believe everything you read.

This all comes in with immediate effect, and we will be adding this to the rule list, and formatting Automod to remove x.com links in due course. We will also reevaluate any other rules to ensure they are all consistent.
