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.

I’ve never used twitter in my life, still have a vague interest in what Musk is doing to it though.

It’s never that simple. Politicians use it, businesses use it, world news has been made on it. Regardless of whether you use Twitter or not, it has been and is used to sway public opinion. You can NOT use it all you want, but it can still have an effect on your life.

That is, unless you can convince literally everyone else to stop using it.

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.

I haven’t seen any of the anti cancel culture people complain about anti-war groups being targeted currently. It was never about the principle, they just want to be able to say the n-word in public again.

Elon, complaining about all the “crimes” other people are committing and he’s going to come in and “save” us all.
AKA, all his “complaints” are the crimes he intends to commit against us all.
Conservatives worship hypocrisy.

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.
