Never thought I’d see the day where he censored a bunch of white dudes but here we are.
He is not a free speech absolutist that’s for sure
He’s more of an absolute piss baby
Well his own speech is absolutely free. I’m pretty sure that’s what he meant.
He'll also trample absolutely any rules necessary to support speech he happens to agree with.
His own speech cost 44 billion
Yeah how is this feller making sense of this in his own head? I can hardly believe I once thought this guy had love in his heart.
It's obvious, he tried making sense for a long time and it just didn't work out. He then chose and tailored an audience for the cost of Twitter so he could have an audience that logic does not apply to.
(Note he said that after the "free speech absolutist" claim.)
Well, then I’m going to start writing to my representatives to start passing laws to hold those who spout transphobia and speciesism accountable to the law.
Not to mention that one of the first things he did upon taking ownership of Twitter was to game the entire thing so his own tweets get the most attention on the site.
Honestly, I think that White Dudes for Harris should sue the platform for an illegal contribution to the Trump campaign. It is by definition a media platform and by denying the account they've clearly crossed a line.
He's all about free speech he absolutely agrees with.
Just African-Canadian things
Haha underrated comment
They should join Mastodon to get away from Elon’s narcissism.
On the flip side, hopefully this news story pushes more people away from X
I can't imagine anyone being pushed by anything if they weren't pushed away until now
I think it's the usual "it hasn't impacted me personally, so how bad can it be" maintaining the status quo at all costs.
Once something happens that they care about, they'll be on the Fediverse that day crowing loudly about how awful Xitter has suddenly become...
I will forever victim-blame these folks.
They are an advocacy group, they go where their audience is. Of you are looking for white dudes what's the point of looking for them in the fediverse, where 98% of them already agree with you?
As people have pointed out, they're an advocacy group, and trying to reach less aware people. The fact that Elon banned em shows it was most likely working.
Can we please keep calling it Twitter, just to piss off Elon?
this would be awesome for c/enoughmuskspam
