Twitter has always been the platform of smooth brains. It's not surprising it is all full of shit.

They used to moderate. Scientific discussion there was also top tier

Twitter could be a very different experience depending on who you followed. That's not the case anymore.

I watched a recent clip of Musk from the Rogan podcast. He was asked if regrets buying it. He felt it was his duty in a way as it was run by extreme left wing types that banned everything from less extreme left wing through the center to the far right. Musk said they were censoring a lot of right wing views. He said when you are that far left anything including regular left is too far right for moderation.

It seems like they have abandoned most moderation now expect for the things he doesn't like. It's not free speech for all like they claim.

I'm fine with him moderating his social media platform the way he likes since he bought it, but don't claim its totally free speech and then do what he has been doing. I'm not a fan of the misinformation being shared there either but I don't expect them to be as good of a resource for open and free information anyways. There's plenty of other places for that, which are not governed by social media reaction metrics.

Don't you hate it when you're trying to type and your Enter key transforms into a Fake News key?

Don't forget people discussing the virtues of Nazism openly!

noncredible take: musk is a us gov sock puppet and if x is like this then its because that allowes 3 letter agencys to lure certein ppl in security to speak so they can be tracked better.
