It’s censorship behavior on behalf of the platform that is not applied evenly. Elon has convinced me to be a free-speech absolutist, you may not like it, I may not like it, but that’s the way it should be.
- beej71 5y agoGood luck defining "evenly"! :) I don't think Elon is going to allow Nazi spam, and he shouldn't if he wants the platform to be relevant.
- happytoexplain 5y agoAbsolutism implies achieving even moderation by not moderating - though even that is arguably not "even application", if one side of some issue thrives more on strategies that are harmful to conversation than the other.
- happytoexplain 5y agoAbsolutism feels righteous and is simple to describe and follow (and therefore makes it easy to avoid the appearance, real or not, of hypocrisy), but it's just not realistic.
