It's just bizarre that the same people complaining about this are the same people that said "Twitter is private and can ban whoever they want" and defended censorship.
Then Elon turns around does the same thing and suddenly they flip and claim they were always "free speech proponents" all along.
They should just be honest and admit it's all political.
But anyways, this NH post is now at 1320 comments. It's like CNN's talking heads shouting at each other.
- scrollaway 4y agoHN is not one person. Unless you have examples of actual people flip-flopping freely between the two, your comment amounts to "Person A said this thing, it's weird that Person B said something different!".
- refurb 4y agoDon’t gaslight. 90% of comment when Twitter was censoring before Musk were in support of it. Now 90% of comments in this thread are against it.
- scrollaway 4y agoIt's gaslighting to tell you that different people can comment on things? You know HN has hundreds of thousands of users, right?
- refurb 4y agoUnless tens of thousands of different people are commenting in each thread, my description is accurate for the vast majority.
- scrollaway 4y agoThen I'm sure it'll be easy for you to produce examples. Until then, this discussion is worthless.
- Terretta 4y agoBeing against it, and against a self-proclaimed free speech absolutist crowing about air-quoting journos he's ban-hammering, are two different things.
- 8note 4y agoYou're missing one key piece of context: Elon claimed to dislike the banning and censorship, and claimed that he wasn't going to do those things. People are making fun of him because of that, and really dont care about about the censorships or bans
