In some of the music communities I'm in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They're all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match... Mark was right to call the people he's leaching off of fucking idiots.

You're not getting downvoted for protecting freedom of speech lol. Freedom of speech doesn't mean that you're entitled to having every platform ever politely entertain your opinions. It protects you from the government and that's it. There's nothing else. If you express a racist opinion and people go after you in the comments they're completely within their rights to do so. If you roll up at that point and try to defend them... Well, you're not defending freedom of speech are you? They already said what they were going to say freely. At that point you are quite literally defending a bigot and asserting that they should be able to say what they want without consequences.

I'm not going to express any racist opinions, not now, not ever. It's not about that.

People should be allowed to say what they want as long as it's not illegal. If you don't like what they're saying, you don't have to look at it.
