Yea see, Elon opening the floodgates to shit like this is why people want to run for the hills.

No. Unlike the right wingers, I don't actually want to delete people I disagree with from the world.

But my timeline would definitely be improved without "speech" like that.

Other than Facebook and Instagram, There are no serious or viable alternatives to Twitter

I'm not sure why I'd want or need one. Socializing with (often hostile) strangers has always been the worst part of social media to me, and Twitter is almost exclusively that.

So you think the original comment is ban worthy? Or that any speech that "would definitely improve" your personal timeline should be banned?

If you're going to say no, then what exactly do you think is going to change with regards to Twitter? Is it because you think that comment would be banned today?

Supposing this is about Elon Musk buying twitter, what specifically are you afraid of?

People want to be able to criticize Enron Musk without being doxxed or worse. He has done it in the past and didn't even own twitter back then, so it's only logical to think that there'll be a huge collection of info on critcs. He's the most thin skinned person in the world, takes everything personally and he's all around mentally unstable. Also Musk PR dept. will be able to leverage twitter infrastructure. Basically…

> Basically what Putin wants to do with Ukraine, Musk will do with Twitter

This is your brain on propaganda folks
