I understand that, but on the other side, it will not punish Elon Musk, but the MSX fans who have provided interesting info about our beloved system.

I know there are only a few Twitter links in the wiki, so the impact will be limited. They can be removed for me, but it is not primordial.

The less traffic there is on twitter, the less money Elon Musk will make. And we can share our passion through other ways. So it doesn't bother us.

Agree, the wiki is about MSX and MSX information, whereever that may be found. It should not be redacted because the site is now owned by some guy that you personally don't like. Otherwise, we can start to remove many more links to info from MSX users who don't like each other as well. Theres enough fueds in MSX land that the wiki will become very barren.

Save your personal opinion for your personal website and the forum.

I don’t know if archive.org also does a backup of tweets? If so you could link to those (prepare for when the platform goes down )

Grauw, this goes beyond the simple opinion of liking a guy or not.

Not really. In your mind, perhaps.

For me Twitter is a means to stay in touch with the Japanese MSX community, something that wasn't really possible before Twitter, and I'm not going to let manchild Elon spoil that for me.

I've had a bunch of good tech discussions with MSX people (not Elon) there, too, as well as learned useful new things there. It would suck when if I were to share a finding citing its source on the wiki, it would be redacted by zealous antimusk fanatics just because his name is associated with the platform an MSX person has posted on.

So yes Elon's a dick, yes everybody is free to mock him and leave Twitter. But the MSX wiki is a shared commodity and as long as part of the MSX community lives on Twitter we have no right to blacklist them. (Just like Twitter has no right to blacklist Mastodon.) That is my opinion.

Sorry for sounding so confrontational, it seems the tone in some of the recent threads has rubbed off on me (example on the previous page). I wish things would calm down a little and we can have fun discussions again.

Why do you think the Sony HB-75 has a HBI-55 included?
At least in the Dutch brochure and the review of the P in MCM1 this is not mentioned.

I think only the japanese versions include it.
