Weren't you the one telling us X.com should replace legacy media? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46891442 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46891442 As a reminder, a glimpse at X's front page a few weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46504404 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46504404 I think it's very telling how you went to Reddit first when complaining about politics on social media, one of the only big ones that still hasn't been completely invaded by MAGA sycophants. Just admit you take no issues with politics on social media, you just want them to align with your views.

  Have you opened the second link? It's mind-boggling how anyone can still claim that.

    Is a two year old article the only thing you have?

      Nope! Looooong list at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_by_Twitter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_by_Twitter. Like when they banned posting the word Substack or linking to websites in your profile under Musk for a while. And @elonjet is still banned, despite an explicit promise not to.

  It's pretty funny how you tried to completely sidestep the accusation, but still managed to confirm it

  No online platform has free speech. No online platform should have free speech. Besides, free speech is a constitutional / legal thing, a platform does not need to host it. Claiming Twitter has free speech (as in absolutist, as in you can say what you want and won't get banned) means you've drunk the kool-aid / accepted the propaganda.
