Gotta love the lemmy hive mind being pro censorship just to hate on elon
This has less to do with Elon and more to do with twitter itself. Why were other platforms created in the first place like Lemmy? Could it be to decentralize these platforms so that no one entity can control them, including the government? This whole shit show with Brazil shows us exactly why these platforms should exist. The oppression of the people need to stop.
Instead of complaining about others and offering no contributions to this platform, I'd love to hear your take on this and start an open discussion. It seems like you have something on your mind, so why not speak it?
censorship of what? Twitter, now X?
when i was on twitter, before elon took it over, i remember reporting many openly fascist accounts and they used to regularly go down (to reappear under a different name with some new numbers attached). Hate speech, racist slurs, calls to violence… verbal scum. You call taking that shit down "censorship"?

it looks like they're trying to protect their democracy? Shutting down a coup and it's enablers (sounds familiar?) isn't censorship.
It is when you're on team coup...
Censorship isn't the same as consequences.
They gotta love my mailing lists. Backups stored on every subscriber hard drive

Elon, free speech advocate, this you?
