Twitter also has more (not total, but more) free speech than any other social networking site. For example, you are allowed to discuss empirical research on race, crime and IQ. That would get you rate limited or banned quickly on other websites, including HN.
- Doctor_Fegg 9mo agoYou literally get shadowbanned for posting the three letters “cis”.

- jatora 9mo agoPerhaps do not use slurs then? Unless you want to claim that term is ever used without pejorative intent?
- SilverElfin 9mo agoYou can happily say all sorts of vile things - every slur that exists - about every minority on Twitter and not face any issues. But not cis. Why do you think that is? Does that sound like free speech or a biased far right platform manipulating users?
- cubefox 9mo ago> You can happily say all sorts of vile things - every slur that exists - about every minority on Twitter and not face any issues. This is false, as I pointed out in the neighbor comment.
- cubefox 9mo agoApparently my previous reply got shadow banned by HN. Oh the irony. To repeat: the ban of cis was a reaction to the previous ban of t_r_a_n_n_y. If you are fine with the latter ban you should be fine with the former.
