It's more complicated than just the ability to post. Never discount the power of the algorithm. And that can be tinkered with:

- recuter 4y agoYour Bloomberg article is a rehash of the verge article discussed down thread. The twitter files are not a change of subject as they are precisely about the power of the algorithm, censorship, and how it was tinkered with prior to Musk taking over. It is literally your concerns but backed up with actual proof. Understand something: I think such things are very bad regardless of the direction in which it applies. I am a-political. I would actually be very interested in any actual evidence. It is a bummer that you think I will just be willing to put my head in the sand if it was Musk doing it, clearly you think I am somehow aligned politically with his views (whatever the hell they are supposed to be) and would be willing to look the other way. Nope, not the case. People do be like that and this is a problem. Again, regardless of affiliation, it is a problem.
- noarchy 4y ago>The twitter files are not a change of subject You didn't ask about the pre-Elon days. You asked about Elon, so multiple people have responded accordingly. Being unable to rebut them, you've chosen to try to divert the topic to something else. >clearly you think I am somehow aligned politically with his views I do. But I'll disengage at this point, given your insincerity.
- recuter 4y agoI asked what his viewpoints are supposed to be and literally nobody responded accordingly. Throwing shade doesn't cut mustard with me, sorry. > I do. But I'll disengage at this point, given your insincerity. Aw :( Yeah that just about sums you up. Have a nice day.
- HyperSane 4y ago"I asked what his viewpoints are supposed to be" If you have been paying attention to his tweets they are mainly really stupid far right takes on things.
- HyperSane 4y agoThe twitter files are absolutely nothing.
