It took me like 5 minutes to google a bunch of conservatives that got banned on FB. And it's not them that keeps me on X, it's the idea that some random activists are deciding which political speech I'm not allowed to see. It actually made me go and see what these people have to say.
Examples:
- Donald Trump.
- Milo Yiannopoulos.
- Paul Joseph Watson.
- Laura Loomer.
- Alex Jones.
- angoragoats 3y agoThese are not conservatives, they are criminals, authoritarians, fascists, and unhinged conspiracy theorists, who should not be given “free reach” to spread their message to millions of people. On the other hand, pg, the creator of this site, was banned under the new management at Twitter. Ditto many other people whose only transgressions were saying words like “cis” or relaying publicly-available information. Free speech indeed.
- wrycoder 3y agopg posts many times a day on Twitter. He was briefly banned when Elon and he started arguing, but they quickly worked it out.
- angoragoats 3y agoYes, that’s true, and doesn’t refute anything I said. I mean, literal Nazis post hateful shit every day and don’t get banned. So the takeaway is that as long as you don’t anger the toddler-in-chief you’re good to go. Free speech!!
