now it's Musk's platform and he gets to do whatever he wants
you're cool with that, right?
- noncoml 4y ago> you're cool with that, right? Yes. Just as I don’t watch Fox News, I don’t read Twitter now And it’s not because they are just biased. It’s because instead of the essence, and discussing using logical arguments, they care more about “owning the libs”. Plenty of left wing media do this too, not as successfully, and I tend to avoid those as well. What I’m not cool with are people that idolize corrupted, divisive, self centered, entitled folks like Musk. But I guess HN has many wanna-be-Musks.
- pavlov 4y agoOf course. I’ve never heard anyone say otherwise. It’s his to do as he pleases (without breaking laws). In Twitter’s previous incarnation as a NASDAQ-listed company, Republicans were asking for more government control over it and other social media. Now that it’s a private company, that seems to have stopped.
- ImaCake 4y agoNot really. One thing Mastodon allows is for us to have 1000s of admins with the power of Musk instead of one. You might think this is just as bad, but at least it provides people with choice.
- _8j50 4y agoSure, but i am free to avoid twitter as well. Long as he does't break the law or cause social harm.
