Most decent-minded people have already switched to Bluesky.

Most censorious, hate ridden, Trump obsessed losers have already switched to Blue sky.

 

Their echo chamber is sure gonna convince the masses. Go on there and say Transgenderism is a mental illness and see what happens.

I provided the evidence. It's not my responsibility to make it comprehensible to you. But if those straightforward articles really are mumbo jumbo to you, that would explain a lot.

I did as you suggested. There were plenty of anti transgenderism comments. Others disagreed, but civilly. Here's the search term I used:

Got it. So you dont know what all that algorithm talk is either, someone is telling you its censorship.

Musk's statement: 

 

"Algorithm tweak coming soon to promote more informational/entertaining content. We will publish the changes to 
@XEng
.

Our goal is to maximize unregretted user-seconds. Too much negativity is being pushed that technically grows user time, but not unregretted user time."

 

And we are to assume from this that everyone that makes negative statements about Trump will be banned. Got it. 

 

 

 

I wonder how he measures multi-millions of people's 'unregretted' and 'regretted' user seconds. Will he be putting out categorized statistics?

 

Weird.

In your case, an eye that flinches at examining the evidence.

Are you trying to make your comments look ridiculous? There was no mention of algorithms in either of the articles I linked to.

IMHO - I believe he's referring to people like Maxine Waters who not only gave public speeches inciting violence and intolerance but also attended the Floyd riots to cheer them on.

And I believe he's referring to people like the wacko in NOLA who posted and sent videos of his intentions to kill directly to ISIS that Zuckerberg's platform let flow unchecked.

 

Just a couple of examples - using an algorithm to not only disrupt this sort of "speech" but to also track and identify the source and relay that data directly to the CIA, FBI and the pentagon.

 

People need to realize that we live in a much more dangerous world now compared to when the Bill of Rights was written. Todays' benchmark of "Fire" in a crowded theater doesn't go far enough. We The People have been so busy enjoying technology that no one noticed the exponential growth of "Keyboard Commandos".

Freedom is NOT free and the bill's come due and it's gonna be costly.

Why would I do that?  Is it what the average Musk follower believes?

It never examines the evidence as it always claims it as anti Trump, false, socialist or left wing!

It is why I have stopped replying to anything it posts!

Well maybe you believe making personal insults and unproven allegations about people who post is somehow civil.  But in the bluesky world, that stuff is prohibited. In the discussion I followed there was none of that.

See. Censorship. Prohibitions.

Not only is it the right of private websites to enforce civility, but it also serves to foster a rational exchange of views.
