#52"And by free speech, I meant less speech, obviously."
Not less speech just less that affects us, but more of what makes us money.

#53I've been pretty wait-and-see on Twitter since Elon took over but this is a very outwardly bone headed move.

#54This is, frankly, pathetic.
Absolutely pathetic. There’s no nuance to this.

#55FB and IG banned but Snap, TikTok, LinkedIn or YouTube are fine?
Would be hard to ban any mention of or links to YouTube, since it's not "just" a social media platform, but also used for video hosting. Twitter of course hosts videos too, but it's a lot less advanced.
What is an advanced video ?

#56Seems reasonable. Let's all remember the spirit of '20, everyone: Twitter is a private company, if you don't like it build your own twitter!
Obviously people are building their own platforms, or else Elon wouldn’t feel the need for this policy.

People absolutely should. And people should also hold Musk to account for being a liar and a hypocrite. These things don't conflict.

It is, and they can do what they like! I have moved to Mastodon without too much fuss and I'm enjoying it so far.
Does that mean it's a good idea, that it's not rank hypocrisy, or that it's in any way in the spirit of a "marketplace of ideas"? No.
Let's say I was a person rooting for Twitter under Musk to succeed; even viewing it through that lens, this seems really really super dumb, and I can't imagine people sticking around if they can't promote their work elsewhere.

#60Surely this is all some kind of Christmas comedy pantomime where there will be some huge reveal at some point. It's so far beyond anything even vaguely sane, it's tragic.
