haha, good one!
- devmunchies 8y agoits the last recourse for the alt-right because other platforms censor them. I'm sure if you posted far-left stuff on there it wouldn't be censored either, but there is no point because most social media platforms don't censor far-left thoughts anyway.

- devmunchies 8y agogoogle results are a social media platform? And i said "most".
- ubernostrum 8y agoWell, there are all the people who point out that Twitter will take ages to respond to a report of a conservative-leaning account making threats and will usually end up saying "that doesn't violate our guidelines". But somehow quickly suspends left-leaning accounts which say similar things. Especially if you say them in the direction of a blue-checkmark conservative-leaning account.
- jewelthief91 8y agoGoogle is supposedly a "common carrier". Though I'm not sure how they're hanging onto that legal title.
- LyndsySimon 8y agoI wish it wasn't, but it is. It's a decent platform with a lot of potential, and the filtering that they put in place early on for inbox abuse were way better than anything Twitter ever did.
