He's come out and said that he's buying it to fulfill some kind of free-speech absolutism fantasy. If you think Twitter is toxic now, wait until it's just Parlor with 100x the users.
- 650REDHAIR 5y agoI had a moderately successful Twitter profile years ago. Few thousand followers, good engagement, etc, but left after awhile because of the effort and the fact that I was no longer in a position that benefited from minor social media stardom. I recently returned with a new account and holy crap the toxicity within the crazy-silo’d communities is off the chains. It’s not a fun place to be if you aren’t specifically using it to advance your own agenda. Occasionally I will end up on Twitter to read a thread linked from somewhere else, but if I’m forced to log in to read I always close the tab and move on with my day…

- parkingrift 5y agoIt is alarming that you, and so many others, talk about freedom of speech in such a derogatory or negative manner. Humans and human societies are capable of self governance. It's worked just fine for speech in the real world.
