Remember back when Elon kept calling himself a Free Speech Absolutist? That just gets funnier every day.

No explanation other than Elon is a thin-skinned little bitch baby who’s carrying water for fascists.

I don't get why people still use that platform. It's so hostile to the users. This is an election year and we're just going to give him all this influence? Society is a big dumb animal.

Anyone who follows the alt-right, did Joe or anyone else go ape shit over this yet? I'm assuming that because they were going crazy over the previous Twitter about certain infractions under the old guard ... so this new shit must be driving them crazy. Being free speech activists and all that.

FreEdOm oF spEAcH!

I don't understand why people don't collectively quit Twitter and flock to Mastodon. It's very simple, it's better for everyone

This was always going to happen.

Muskrat bought twitter specifically to make it Parler, GAB, and Truth Social all rolled into one.

Banning, shadow-banning, or purging any and all dissenting views or content that differs from the Far Right narrative on the sites is the norm.

Who the fuck is still on Xitter? Jesus people, get the hell out of there!

Elon "Free speech absolutist" Musk.

So only fascists allowed now.

Censorship for thee, not for me.

The Nazi bar is open for business

No official, public explanation. We know why...

X it's the new "Truth Social"

Elon bought it to make it the christofascist heaven on earth.

I don't like that, "leftist", has become a word used outside conservative circles. It sounds shitty and is as meaningless as, "rightist".

What were journalists and leftists doing hanging out in a Nazi bar anyway?

Are we allowed to say he's gone mask off yet?

Remember when Musk painted himself as a free speech absolutist who would bring freedom to Twitter, and all of his fanboys believed him, and when he never delivered none of them did ever fucking care?

Needless to say, just like if r/conservative/conspiracy bans you you're probably doing something Right, X is just the new, louder, conservative/conspiracy echo chamber, although i still don't get why everyone senseable hasn't abandoned the platform yet.

What a coincidence. People critical of israel got banned

The account @Zei_Squirrel, which had 200,000 followers, explained in a Substack post that it was suspended over criticisms of Israel and Bill Ackman but was also not provided with an explanation from X. “If they don’t unban me, it will prove beyond all doubt that Twitter and Elon Musk are just explicitly doing the bidding of the genocidal Israeli regime and its deranged supporters like Bill Ackman.” The post continues, “There is no possibility that anything I have posted rises to the level of being ban-worthy, but nothing that Zionists posts constantly, explicit calls for genocide and mass killing of Palestinians, isn’t.”

Night of the Long Bans.

If people would just use Mastodon instead of Xwitter this sort of thing would not happen.

Don't care. The only people that can get kicked off of shitter are people still on shitter propping up it's waning credibility. There are no respectable people left on shitter because you can no longer simultaneously be there and be respectable.

I really do wish there was a viable popular alternative to Twitter. Phony Starks has been awful.

T…. Time to leave?

Dead platform!

Where is the "vote" to reinstate their accounts that closes like 58 minutes after going up?

time to follow them on mastodon I guess.

It's a conspiracy and fascism echochamber. No prominent journalists should be there either way

I mean... it was no secret that xitter was a rightwing shithole, for quite a while now...
