Sure, I don't have a huge issue with "accounts exclusively promoting" such things, but I have a big issue with the other part.
Plenty of people have had multiple links for ages, and it's not a problem. They'll link their Twitch, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and similar accounts on Twitter.
Also, people here rightfully threw a fuss when they banned BitChute and similar links.
This is nonsense, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise just because of Based Elon.
This. It's the "no links whatsoever policy" that's idiotic. Only commies who hate Elon for shutting down one of their CP exchanges would object to him nuking what are essentially spam accounts.
Banning the accounts that solely exist to promote other social media sites is the equivalent of your example. Banning any links whatsoever is more like Walmart kicking someone out for even mentioning Target. The former is reasonable, the latter is retardedly over the top.
It's hard to make a comparison using the analogy at all, even, since Walmart is not intended to share information. Twitter - at least in theory - is. It's for people to promote themselves! People have always included links to where they are on other platforms.
I don't like it because, let's be honest, they're still going to allow links to places like Substack. They're trying to undercut competitors, but this could be expanded to other sites they don't like.
Eh, they're a business. I'm pretty sure Walmart would kick out somebody standing in their doorway with a sign that said "Shop at Target" too.

That's weird, because they clearly state they're not doing that.
They're saying that accounts that only post links to other social media and nothing else are going to be banned.
Read the third tweet.
You know that cross posting is what most people do, right?
