Twitter Doubles Down on Safety With Expanded Filter Options and Quicker Response Times

[DUCKofD3ATH]

Singling out one quarter over a year ago where a loss in users has happened doesn't exactly seem to imply what it is being used to support, in particular since the numbers have been going up prior and since that, with the latest numbers being up 2 million users (which is 14 million more since the mentioned 2015 numbers): https://www.statista.com/statistics/282087/number-of-monthly-active-twitter-users/

The latest numbers are such that Twitter's growth is far less than was predicted.

• 10/2016: Twitter user growth continues to stall - Business Insider

I see a trend, how about you?

Seems like they are the exact opposite of being 2 million down currently (and have being going up since the one time they were down over a year ago).

Your use of "alt-right" explains why you don't see bias when it comes from the ctrl-left.

What makes you think I don't see bias from the left? I'm mostly on team GOP, along with the nonpartisan group of people who just don't give a crap about political correctness. You sound like the SJWs I've seen here in Berkeley if you're equating Republicans and those intentionally offensive people who are whining about getting banned from Twitter. They're called alt-right, and we don't like to associate with them.

Coincidence! Because the alt-right is also against political correctness. See? You've got common ground with those you despise.

"Intentionally offensive"? What the heck is that? You mean they take unpopular positions and hence should be ostracized? How intolerant.

Who is "we"? Berkeley Republicans? eRepublicans? Or are you communing with a mouse in your pocket?

Oh yes, protect us from dangerous ideas...

I didn't say I despise them, just that I don't think they're a majority, and I think they can go to random other sites without Twitter needing to care. When I say intentionally offensive, I mean the stuff they say to get attention: Nazi stuff, white supremacy, advocating sexual assault, attacks on people based on religion, things where a moderator would think they're probably trolling. Maybe they aren't, hard to tell. Republicans don't like associating with them.

BTW, alt-right people get triggered by political correctness. I don't. I just don't care about it. If someone wants to make up words like "womxn," doesn't matter to me, but I'm still going to accidentally offend people with "outdated" terms. There are so many cases where all synonyms for one meaning would offend either alt-right or SJW people, and that's because both sides are all babies or have too much time on their hands.
