re: #111 No Malarkey!

It won’t effect me much. There are already lots of Nazis on Twitter, and I just block them. I also think that if Trump is allowed back on to spew his insanity, that might actually help Democrats.

The problem is that if Musk is going to be the kind of free speech absolutist he’s trying to pawn himself out to be and take out the moderating middle man, it won’t just be a matter of Trump returning to the platform. It’ll be making that one account whose name I refuse to name (you know, the one brigading against LGBT teachers and such and then playing victim) will absolutely become the prevailing and protected norm, and at risk users will simply end up inundated with death and hate without recourse.
