The same people who lost their marbles over COVID/fear of death are now losing their marbles again over a private platform being raided & turned into a public square.

I stopped listening to these people years ago. Good riddance.

What’s the big deal? Isn’t this person free to choose where they spend their time? If they dont like Twitter they can leave. Isn’t that what freedom is all about?

Seems to me that many on the right don’t actually care about freedom… but more about their ability to subject others to their ideas… apparently freedom is the right of republicans to force themselves on others and restrain their critics from leaving.

What other interpretation should I make of someone objecting to an individual exercising their first amendment right to freedom of association?

There were plenty of anti-vax people on Twitter before the Musk takeover.

It's not a public square when the opposite ideology is pushed aside and the rules applied arbitrarily, both left or right.

It's never been a public square, it's just being polarized in the opposite direction.

It's a public square alright, the people that shout the loudest are the ones that end up being heard. People that want to engage in constructive nuanced argument are drowned by the noise of the loud extremists (from any ideology)

Right on, but I don't even think most are leaving, it's just MSM again making "people should leave stupid twitter" talk points and some random people here and there taking the bait and writing online (or mainly tweeting) that they will leave twitter. It's beautiful to see how they are losing power. Like how stupid MSM is looking RIGHT NOW as they try to buff the FTX scam while people can see exactly what went on if they just go to twitter.
