It is objectively much worse now. Which is natural when you effectively disband the safety teams and allow all previous banned accounts back onto the platform.

It is objectively much worse now. Which is natural when you effectively disband the safety teams and allow all previous banned accounts back onto the platform. Also where as Twitter at least tried to comply with codes of practice, X has simply just given up. Also a lot of it has to do with Musk being the face of the platform and endlessly trying to start culture wars.

  > banned for discussing views They banned people for their position on taxes?

  the only conservative views I've ever seen get "censored" are those pertaining to race, gender, and sexual orientation. You know, areas where some modern conservatives like being discriminatory assholes. I've never seen someone get censored for promoting small government or low taxes.

      Predictable retort

      phrenology is not real science. neither are the claims that intersex people don't exist, or that homosexuality is some choice that goes against what nature intends. my dad makes a lot of these dumb arguments, and then doesn't believe me when i explain that there are disorders which cause people to have a missing sex chromosome, or body parts that don't match their chromosomes, or try to explain how gender dysphoria works and is treated, or even that gender as a social construct is separate from sex as a biological facet. he's not using science to back up these opinions, he's just an old man with dated views and hides behind the "basic biology" rhetoric. it's funny how the real world consensus among actual scientists and doctors does not conform with conservative politics here.

    And in fact many people complaining about censorship before the takeover and shouting their hateful views still ended up in trending all the time. IMO there wasn’t enough moderation and there’d be times accounts very clearly in violation of the terms not get suspended.

  Why not just say "nazi stuff" or "white supremacist views" if they are so unobjectionable that they should occupy our public spaces? Afraid of defending those things?

I wonder if there are measurements to prove that it is "objectively much worse" - besides the decrease in traffic, decrease in users, and decrease in advertising that can be mainly attributed to a period of adjustment & political bias.
