Community Update: Twitter, Threads and Lemmy.World

Hey folks, Just wanted to give everyone a little update on the direction of our community as well as house keeping best practices moving forward. I'll start with the hottest topic. As you guys are surely aware and have experienced, Lemmy.world has struggled with uptime recently. Long story story, the folks running this instance are saying this is due to the fact it is a targeted DDOS attack ([post here](https://lemmy.world/post/2923697)). Nonetheless, the mods did discuss the pros and cons of possibly moving to another instance or creating a "backup instance". Neither of these seemed viable as it creates a confusion, a fragmented /c/gunners community and difficulty in moderation. Most importantly, despite its issue, Lemmy.world's uptime isn't significantly worse than that of other instances despite being several magnitudes bigger ([data available here](https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances)). Being in the biggest instances significantly eases discoverability, especially for someone new to Lemmy. With that in mind, it seemed obvious that the best decision is to stay with Lemmy.world. While we're on the topic of Lemmy.world, when Threads was just launched and also when Twitter (also known as X, but I'm calling it Twitter) started locking Twitter content behind sign-ins and rate limits, etc we announced temporary recommendations on how to post Threads and Twitter content. The idea was that eventually Lemmy.world would make a decision on what their relationship with Threads would be like. In the end, their decision was basically a [wait and see policy](https://lemmy.world/post/1274909). So keeping in mind that Twitter API does not work with Lemmy (and Elon can go back to his old ways at any time), and some people have very strong opinions against Meta getting into the fediverse - let's create a simple rule around both Twitter and Thread tweets/posts. Rules: 1. There must always be a way for a user to view the full text of the tweet/post without having to click the Twitter/Thread link. 2. There must be a link available somewhere in the post for those who want to view the source content There's two "best practice" ways we can do this: - Screenshot the tweet/threads post, and short summary (including person who tweeted) in the title (because there's a very short character limit for posts on Lemmy) and then full tweet/post content in the body with the link below the text (also in the body). I recommend this as it is visually the best way to share content especially since football content often has photos as well. - Insert the link to the tweet/post in the URL field. Short summary (including person who tweeted) in the title and full text in the body. This is for people who don't want to screenshot the post. Isn't as visually appealing, but the user gets all the information they need anyway so I think it's fine - we don't want to create too many barriers of entry to posting. Happy to discuss any of the topics above (or even others). I think we're fluid with our decisions - we're trying to make decisions that are as comfortable for all as possible and encourage interaction and engagement as we grow this community.--

[James Benge] Arsenal paid £4.5m for Turner, sold for £10m (including achievable add-ons)

After Auston Trusty, Turner is another player on whom Arsenal make a few million in profit. Initial fee to New England was around £4.5m. It's hard for a rich PL club to make profit on any signing. This is hardly season-changing money but any boost to the coffers helps. https://twitter.com/jamesbenge/status/1689220806818050048
