Anyone looking for "free speech" can already find it on Twitter in abundance, they don't need a replacement.

The only draw to being a Twitter replacement is not being like Twitter, which means not being a safe space for Nazi and Nazi-adjacent content.

Only a fully decentralized system can guarantee free speech. And yes, that even includes letting the Israelis have their say too.

[krapp]

Freedom of speech must include freedom from speech or it isn't free.

Israelis can say whatever they like, I'm not obligated to listen to them.

[FreeTrade]

Agreed. That's what the mute button is for. There is no conflict with free speech and a mute button.

From what I’ve heard, Elon deletes a lot of stuff he disagrees with.

[andrewinardeer]

Yes, Nazis exist there.

Nazis are also finding safe spaces on Reddit, Wikipedia, Telegram, Tinder and virtually all other large social sites if you care to look. Nazi safe space isn't exclusive to X.

[janice1999]

On Reddit? If anything its moderation can be heavy handed.

[krapp]

Elon Musk sympathizes with Nazis and shares their views and his platform has been explicitly designed to cater to the extreme right and amplify that speech while purging the "woke mind virus."

When the Nazis show up to your bar and you don't kick them out, you have a Nazi bar. Elon didn't just not kick them out, he put up a big sign that said "Nazis drink free." Let's not pretend the site formerly known as Twitter is a politically or culturally neutral space in this regard.

You mention Nazis a lot

do you know even Nazi is, how can people be "Nazi" according to you??

[esseph]

Ask grok, buddy. It loves that topic.

[tonyhart7]

> people tell the AI to call itself mecha hitler

> Grok doing the user request

> people call Grok nazi/racist etc

It literally debunked

[esseph]

I'm sorry, what was debunked?

[tkel]

Unless you're an anti-fascist ... Musk made sure to personally ban the large anti-fascist accounts immediately upon taking over twitter

Also the word "cisgender" is banned

[krapp]

Yes, I'm intentionally being facetious using "free speech" with the same implication that most people complaining about the lack of "free speech" on Bluesky or Mastodon do, which is to say the freedom to post racist right-wing propaganda and hate speech without consequence.

[xigoi]

No, I want actual free speech, where Nazis are allowed to freely post their nonsense and I’m allowed to freely laugh at them. And Twitter is not that.
