That’s a well deserved ban, no different than getting banned for saying the n word really.

I am genuinely reveling in the screeching and look forward to it continuing. Masterful Beethoven to my ears.
Welcome back to the real world, you've been allowed to stay in your Matrix goo pod far too long it’s time to hop out now

My name is Donald irl, I live in an hipster far left area, you wouldn’t believe how many people I’ve run into that introduce them and I say my names Donald “ yea I’m not calling you that so I’m calling you Don or Donnie” etc
I’ve said ok **** off. No joke
People are so pathetic how obsessed they are against trump, you’d think he was invading their dreams and thoughts like Freddy Krueger
Elon Musk will soon get another tranche of stock options worth $23 billion because he hit the promised Tesla stock target again. Those $23 billion alone are enough to pay for half of Twitter.
Borrowing money is a normal thing even for rich people. That does not need to mean that they can't afford to pay a bill themselves. It just makes sense to borrow money instead of selling more Tesla stock, if you think that Tesla stock will go up. Imagine Tesla stock goes up 30% in the next year. A loan will never cost that much.
But it’s the most prosperous. I think capitalism is wonderful and shouldn’t be controlled or manipulated.
Wondering if other social medias will follow in his footsteps and open up more free speech as well.
In my opinion Greta Thunberg was a victim of what I would consider child abuse committed by her school and parents by scaring the hell out of a mentally disabled child with the most dire predictions about climate change that may or may not happen since climate models have a very low accuracy rate in predicting any changes way out in the future. In addition, I do not like the fact they are using a mentally disabled women as a shield to prevent any real discussion about climate change as well to.
Why wouldn't you just use Truth or Parler since that's what they would become.Wondering if other social medias will follow in his footsteps and open up more free speech as well.
It’s not so much that people on the left want to create a bubble. It’s that those ok the right actually do create a bubble.
If I have a strong sense of belief that everyone should be respected for who they are are and whatever their life choices are. And they should be left to do what they want if they aren’t harming others.
If your beliefs are such that it interferes with others fundamental rights including about who they are and love, then I’m not going to get on with you. It’s not so much as creating a bubble, it’s about being nice.
In my area there’s like 80% black community and they call eachother that word all day in casual chat.‘ I just don’t get why people should get banned for anything if they call eachother it and happy why should someone get punished by saying it or posting it
No I don’t care about the word
But you just compared my identification of a helicopter to the n word
How can you be this extreme?
If you don't see that the right is doing the same, then you aren't an independent thinker like you think you are. You have a massive blind spot. Almost every social media site that caters to conservatives just outright bans anyone who disagree with them. Look at this thread and the contempt people hold for people who have opposite political views on both the left and right. People have a need to feel like they are part of a larger group, and the powers that be have used that in order to divide people.
If the word isn't bad, why don't you just type the full word in this thread?
In any case, if he gets rid of things such as Tweetbot I'll be done because the Twitter app itself is a disorganized advertising nightmare. Like Instagram.

Hopefully next he makes it like TikTok and it turns into an even bigger sewage stew where people just consume videos of the mentally handicapped doing the Darwin Awards challenges
This thread really brought out some interesting characters.
I do know the block option will be in full-use now on Twitter.

One controversial topic for example is abortion. One side says that abortion is murder and the other side says that the woman should do whatever she wants. I also have a strong opinion about the topic, but it would feel quite absurd for me to unfriend someone who has the opposite opinion. I rather try to convince him of my opinion.
"You can't say retards. That's just as bad as the N-Word."
"But you won't say one of those words...."
Unless Elon gets rid of it...because he doesn't have to report to a board anymore...he can do whatever he wants with the company now...
Silencing dissenting opinions never truly stamps them out, only forces them to retreat into darker corners, where they fester and grow.
Allow any and all speech to be shared, and organically will society weed out less favorable opinions.

Wasn't that the entire premise of 4-chan? to allow all opinions to be shared, even those that are despicable and it just festered and grew and turned into a movement?
Yeah, IMHO, this sounds great in theory and in a utopia this would be make sense, but in our current environment, I don't think this will work...
Just my 2 cents on the matter...
This is not historically been the truth. And moderation is society weeding out less favorable opinions.
First, those are not the two sides of the debate, many people would never get an abortion themselves/their spouses but they still support people needing one to be able to get them.
What do you do if you’re unable to convince your friend? Just agree to disagree regardless of how terrible do you think their opinion is? Abortion is one thing, but what if your friend is a white supremacist?
Yes, if you value that friendship that much, I think it is worth it....you can't convince everyone...there is never a right or wrong answer to many aspects in life and you just have to life with it....which is why living life is so challenging...lots of gray areas...
