    Dumbasses continue to use the platform then bitch about it. Either stop using it, or shut the fuck up.

      This. Twitter is now under ownership and control of a spoiled fascist richboy and this is absolutely 100% transparently clear. This is how the platform is now and it is not going to change. Twitter as we knew it is gone. It’s dead and not coming back. Move the hell on, people, please. Stop supporting this absolutely wretched waste of oxygen.

    he wasn’t complaining about shadow bans in a philosophical sense, he was complaining about them being used against the “wrong” people the whole time. the sooner we realize that right wingers make self-serving complaints and dress them up as matters of fairness or civility, the less likely we are to fall for them in the first place.

      Conservatives operate on the principle that there’s an in group and an out group. The in group is protected by law and the out group is bound by it.

        “Meet me in the middle!” says the unreasonable man.

        You take a step forward. He takes a step backwards.

    It doesn’t matter. I’m not a Twitter user anymore. The site has lost both its value and influence… I really don’t give a damn what the man-baby does with his toy.

    Breaking news: Elon is a hypocrite. In other news, snow found to be cold.

    I mean, it’s not like this is new. He ranted about free speech for months, then as soon as he bought twitter, he started removing journalists that spoke out against him. He’s scum, plain and simple.

      Once again I am reminded of Hank Green saying “A lot of people who say they want “free speech” actually just want to be the one in charge of which speech is free.”
