I find this newfound outrage over Twitter really strange. No one bat an eye when former Twitter executives silenced non-mainstream, unorthodox and "right-wing" views. Most people were banned over a single tweet.
When Elon came and made the platform semi-usable, sometimes reversing the censorship game, everyone freaked out.
I once thought that was funny, at least. Now, I think it's infuriating and really dumb.
There should be no double standards. You either allow free speech or you don't.
- holler 4y ago> like Elon Fucking Musk, can take that away from you I was thinking the same thing, was this person in such an outrage when Jack Dorsey was at the helm?
- trynewideas 4y agoIf it helps as context, the author launched fosstodon.org in 2018.
- kevq 4y ago(writer of the site here) I've never liked Twitter, or any mainstream social media for that matter. The only one that came close for me was Google+, that was brilliant, I thought. So yeah, nothing to do with the shit show that is Elon Musk, it's just good timing. :-)
- holler 4y agoHaha ok that makes sense, thanks for clarifying! May I ask, what was it about Google+ that you enjoyed?
