what hypocrisy!
it's like my alcoholic doctor telling me I need to cut my drinking: his advice may be sound, but it's rich coming from him.
I'm referring to the people who denied or did not decry the previous twitter administration deleting huge volumes of tweets they didn't like, the people who now populate bluesky and the fediverse they themselves are quite open about saying, because it's a cozy little echo chamber world where the people who disagree are erased from their view
- wrs 2y agoThe previous Twitter administration was quite open about the censorship they were doing and the reasons they did it. You may not like the result, but at least they tried to deal with their inherent conflict of interest (commerce vs. societal good) in a thoughtful way. The current one, on the other hand, constantly trumpets its free-speech absolutism while Elon tells the staff to delete whatever he wants whenever he wakes up in a bad mood, and artificially boost his own trolling.

- wrs 2y agoI doubt it's completely false. So...same to you, I guess.

- fsckboy 2y agocensoring evidence of covid gain of function research and subsequent lab leak is not moderation shadowbanning which stops people from seeing content is also censorship, you're wrong (and don't confuse mix this site with twitter either)
