- bitwize 4y agoDepends. Are those people trying to undermine the public's risk-benefit analysis of receiving the vaccine through misinformation?
- vfclists 4y agoHow does a person seeking support for a vaccine-induced injury amount to undermining the officialdom's risk-benefit analysis of receiving the vaccine? Aren't vaccine-injured people also members of the "public"? You don't fool anyone by substituting "officialdom" with the "public".
- Spivak 4y agoIt's freedom meaning liberty vs. freedom meaning anarchy. A platform with aggressive moderation with the purpose of enabling people to express themselves is going to fare better (this site is an example of that). If your goal is to create a Socratic circle you will have a hard time getting anywhere until you remove the edgelords who are just there to start flamewars and yell slurs at people. Twitter right now is remarkably freedom as anarchy by this measure and it shows. As long as you're not posting death threats, inciting riots, or hate speech you can say pretty much whatever bad faith bullshit you want. Twitter, at least for me, has reached "don't read the replies" level of toxic.
