But according to Elon, he's a "free speech absolutist" who will bring "actual freedom of speech" to social media.

Yet another example of how every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Conservatives are dollar store versions of human beings.

Free speech¹

  1. Unless you’re a slut, unionist, or too brown
[-] swag_money@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

Brown slutty unionists are my kinda people tbh

The Holy Trinity

[-] Marin_Rider@aussie.zone 2 points 11 months ago

2 of the 3 are something you can change, so that's a win

[-] SheDiceToday@eslemmy.es 0 points 11 months ago

Pretty sure I can change all three in the right pardner. giggity

[-] Senseless@feddit.de 2 points 11 months ago

Free speech*

*for myself and people of my liking.

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Equal free speech, some are more equal than others

[-] Erika2rsis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 11 months ago

That's an insult to dollar stores

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Yeah you can actually get some decent stuff at dollar stores if you know what to get

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

He meant freeze peach. You'll get your can in your inbox soon, silly goose!

Under Musk’s leadership, X has become increasingly hostile toward nudity and explicit content. This week, X started flagging NSFW posts as “sensitive material,” as Rolling Stone reported, and restricting flagged accounts to limit their reach. Sex workers said their engagement tanked and their accounts no longer show up in X’s search, even if they weren’t notified about being flagged.

Let sex workers be, you weird puritans.

There absolutely should be no free speech is what he meant.

[-] SlikPikker@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

Only for Nazis

[-] hansl@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

When no one can speech, speech will finally truly be free.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works -4 points 11 months ago

Hey dont insult the Puritans, they were generally egalitarian and anti-slavery, also John Brown came from a Scottish Puritan background. If you got the Puritans of old to interact with these modern fuckwads youd pribably need a hazmat team to clean up whatever was left.

[-] DocMcStuffin@lemmy.world 71 points 11 months ago

Porn and adult content was one of the hold outs on Xitter. If they're going after that now, usage and users are going to tank again. If they keep this up, eventually the only thing that will be left on Xitter will be right wing assholes, white nationalist, and fascists.

[-] Blinding@lemmy.world 44 points 11 months ago

Pretty sure that's the end result they're hoping for.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

Look he just didn't get the engagement he wanted on parler

[-] DocMcStuffin@lemmy.world 32 points 11 months ago

Parler shutdown this year. I guess Elmo didn't get the memo on what does and doesn't work for a social media website.

Parler’s New Owner Shuts Down Site: ‘No Reasonable Person Believes Twitter For Conservatives Is A Viable Business Model’

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

That might be Elon's intention.

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

"Bring the mountain to Muhammad" kinda thing since Truth and Gab never took off.

[-] Phegan@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

I've said this about all the right wing social networks. Right wingers want to be on a platform where they can spread hate and bully people, no one else wants to be on that platform, leaving the right wing no one to bully, rendering the platform useless to them.

[-] uis@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

For some reason I read Xitter as Xitler... Time to take medications.

[-] Starkstruck@lemmy.world 49 points 11 months ago

Tumblr users fled to Twitter after the porn ban, now Twitter is making the same mistake.

Downvote Musk spam.

The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the headlines every day. Don’t be a useful idiot.

[-] frizop@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I wish I didn’t have to work so hard to avoid this sort of content every single day

[-] bappity@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

another hit from the self proclaimed "free speech absolutist"

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago

Don’t a lot of those angry incels go to Twitter to see tits though?

[-] Erika2rsis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 11 months ago

Honestly, if Twitter suddenly cracking down on T&A ends up causing another X-odus to the fediverse, then it is mildly amusing that the "masto" in "Mastodon" is literally from the Ancient Greek word for "boobs".

[-] rbos@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

Good old boobytooth is the place to be!

[-] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

It's all comes around in a great big circle or a single boob

[-] fleabomber@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago

Poor fools, it's always run on porn.
