So last year when Linda Yaccarino said, "With X we will go even further to transform the global town square — and impress the world all over again. Our company uniquely has the drive to make this possible. Many companies say they want to move fast — but we enjoy moving at the speed of light, and when we do, that’s X. At our core, we have an inventor mindset — constantly learning, testing out new approaches, changing to get it right and ultimately succeeding. [...] Please don’t take this moment for granted. You’re writing history, and there’s no limit to our transformation. And everyone, is invited to build X with us." What she really meant to say was they're going to clone OnlyFans.

Or she just looked over at how well Tumblr did after banning pron and decided to let let people do their own thing in their own corner =P

  You can say "porn" here, it's ok.

    "pron" sounds funnier. I still think "My toothbrush started to shit the bed" is out of place (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36284643 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36284643).

      I've been using stb for very (too) many years. As have many of my friends. Might be a uk thing, but I hear it often from USians, too.

  tumblr kind of had their hand forced by apple on that one. I don't think that would happen to twitter in the same way, especially with the appstore rules they already have a carveout for.

Maybe stop treating X like a day care and allow people to post stuff that are “NSFW” is what people want

To be fair - old Twitter was already about to launch a competing product. It got canned at the last minute due to their inability to moderate which is really important for adult content https://www.theverge.com/23327809/twitter-onlyfans-child-sexual-content-problem-elon-musk https://www.theverge.com/23327809/twitter-onlyfans-child-sex...

  > inability to moderate which is really important for adult content Given Elon Musk twitted about moderation being censorship (twist: it is not), what could go wrong!?!

    This is one where “won’t someone thing if the children” (underage and non-consensual) is relevant. It tends to be a lot more… universally agreed upon limits to whatever you think free speech is.

    His position was about moderating legal content. He thinks moderating legal content is censorship. He is in favor of taking down illegal content. If people think currently legal content should be taken down they should appeal to change the laws and it shouldn't be part of at least their platform to judge the legal content. That's his position, not my position.

      That's what he says his position is. He bans people who post the movements of his private jet. He also has had Twitter file lawsuits against people merely for saying mean things about Twitter. Of course, it's also possible that he's a complete idiot and has no idea what the First Amendment actually permits in speech, like he stopped paying attention after Schenck v US.
