  That's one type of suspension. There are multiple types. Many of the suspended never got an email what's their violation, or which tweet to delete. Just "you violated the rules". More importantly, right now none of this matters, because you may get suspended, unsuspended, suspended and again unsuspended and then suspended on a whim. Happened to some of the journalists. It's a mess. This is not a left/right issue. It's shoddy management and leadership

  Do y'all not realize or not care how utterly petty, pathetic, and out-of-touch you come across? Like, you won, your guy is in charge acting like a petty baby tyrant and you still manage to frame as "conservatives are so persecuted". Sorry you can't post Hunter's nudes on Twitter, that must be tough. I love threads like this, with people furiously voting to try and offset the sinking realization as the cognitive dissonance gets too overwhelming to ignore.

      >Saying we won is a tacit admission that everything I'm talking about is true. I'm fairly surprised to see this common format of internet-argument fallacy on HN! "You made X framing declaration, therefore you admit everything I said is true." It's pretty patently bad-faith and oversimplified.

      All I can really say here is that I hope we can elevate beyond "left" vs "right". Elon is doing the same thing every other wannabe-populist does. Take the beacon light off of him, his riches, his flailing ego, and... sow division. Every single thing he's done for the past 4-8 weeks has been about doubling down on distractions, as he sells more TSLA, lol. Why is the supposed "liberal tech guy" bumping fking shoulders with Ian Miles Chong on a regular basis? I mean, come on. Please, see it for what it is. Ego and populism, through and through and through. Exactly what I told my ex I was freaked out about when he floated this in March. At least Bezos had the sense to keep his hands off the Post. We need class solidarity (, we desperately need ranked choice voting), and seeing Elon for who he is, would be a great place for us all to start.

  >If you're on the left Why do this? It honestly seems like most cases of anti-right bias in moderation are really just due to a rightward bias in the personality types that have a higher tendency to break common social media rules, and the remaining cases of potentially true bias are numerically small. And yet even giving your implied complaint the most possible benefit of the doubt, it still makes no sense to use sarcasm to look down on people for simply having different politics from those experiencing the bias.
