Not even close. People still get banned a lot, Elon caved to ADL. Also did you pay money just to get a blue checkmark?
I paid money to support Right Wing free speech, reversing an unrelenting assault from the Left for years.
Reddit trannies banned me over 30 times. Elon hasn't banned me once.
He earned my $8.
I don't trust that Elon has our best interests at heart in the slightest (he's no free speech absolutist), but there's this weird defeatist/tribal streak among people on the Right that he shouldn't be trying to keep it the #1 social media platform in the world or even make it profitable at all. Basically "Twitter is a cesspool so it needs to die." These people will point out how much of a traitor/grifter/liar he is by not sacrificing twitter on the altar of free speech. No he can't make any concessions to advertisers. No you can't pay his stupid $8. LET. IT. DIE. If you don't become Torba and get banned on all the app stores then fuck you and your $44B you WEF stooge.
I understand and agree with the complaints about censorship. But don't be surprised that the boss is not listening to people demanding he sacrifice his time/money/platform for the greater good. Elon's in it for Elon, but this is how it would have to happen even if he's totally fighting the globalists. Play the long game.
He doesn't need to be either (as I think you say later on). A free speech absolutist would run Twitter into the ground. What you need is someone who allows as much free speech as possible, consistent with the paramount goal of the company's survival.
For the record, Twitter was never the #1 social media platform in the world by any metric.
Carry on. 👍
He wants it to be that with the X app, outside of China.
thenoticing hashtag was on trending for a while before it got taken down by Elon.

he earned my $8 -gross
You're right, fuck paying for services. Its much better to be the product being sold, right?
Chill out dude, I was just poking fun at elon and the situation, idc what you sign up for
It's terrible for Twitter to not be reliant on advertisers which pressure it to censor content.
That guy shills hard for Twitter and Elon, but even he's pushing his luck by equating Twitter to 4chan.
Can you try sharing this on Twitter, as an experiment?

The dipshits accusation of anti-semetism only works under the premise that what Soros is doing is solely because Soros is Jewish. Some might consider that a Fraudian slip of what he too thinks of Jews.
Twitter might end up being the new Digg.
Also, "Shitpost Malone" is an excellent fucking name.
Then Reddit was selected as the new Digg. I wonder what the next hangout they have lined up to take twitter's place is.
I noticed that you had a Twitter account when you got a retweet from Elbridge Colby. Impressive job, also at putting your money where your mouth is (I'm still hesitant to hand payment info to Twitter),
He retweets me quite a bit. I've never been able to talk China policy on Reddit or on here, so on Twitter I suddenly was able to interact with lots of top policy experts. I've been very into studying issues surrounding China & Taiwan for years so I've finally been able to put all that to use.
Since I was coming off of debating with you on Russia, I actually started off somewhat hostile to Bridge early on, because I was confusing some of his positions with yours. But then I started to watch his videos & quickly realized I'd gotten him wrong & became a major supporter. Ironically - I've spent the last 6 weeks mostly fighting to reduce the US military in Europe & to reduce US aid to Ukraine.
I think his position is going to be the mainstream position for the Republicans by next year & I think (and hope) he plays a major role in the next administration.
This tweet is engaging with a Ukraine hawk & debating on the merits of shifting US aid away from Ukraine to Taiwan: https://twitter.com/dekach1n/status/1656004491043569726
When you are new to Twitter you have to start slow & get very little visibility, but it grows & starts to snowball.
I would highly recommend you build up your account on there. You are able to reach a whole different level of person on there, and if you're able to make good points, you'll be able to engage with very consequential people.
Interesting post until you started masturbating.
The top people who you totally rub shoulders with on Twitter are worried about optics and income. On (allegedly) anonymous forums, we feel more at liberty to express ourselves honestly and, to me, that makes others' comments seem less constrained by ulterior motives. Maybe that's not true for you, but you take your account name with you everywhere. While I agree you can reach high-status individuals on Twitter, I also find the average user's intelligence lacking. Depends what you want, I guess.
Almost no one holds my position, because my position is that it is good for Western hegemony and power to be weakened. Even those who oppose sending money to Ukraine do so because they think it weakens the West. And those who support China or Russia do so either out of nationalism (which I know you think is my motivation) or because of some deluded belief that that is the communist position. But I think that the bad things that the West does will continue until it is no longer the world's hegemon. A bipolar world will be a more humane one.
Did you see his video on extended deterrence? That's actually how I became familiar with him - because he came after a talk by John Mearsheimer about extended deterrence when I was watching and reading everything by Measheimer.
I'll be surprised. All the elites are united on Ukraine and having a major presence in Europe. Voters may disagree, but voters have no power, and besides, foreign policy isn't important to them anyway.
It's good advice. I'm thinking of in what way I could best contribute to exposing the media and academics.
Many republicans now take the opposite position. You can look at various ones like Rubio, Hawley, & others, who endorse a more "America first" approach, which means cutting off the $33b in security subsidies we give to the rich EU every year to subsidize their welfare states.
Start by finding like-minded people with decent reach & following them & making constructive comments, looking at who they engage with & expanding from there. Stay away from negative comments of any kind, particularly on a new account. You can be critical, but negative engagement is not nearly as effective to build up as positive engagement.

Well, I haven't been told to kill myself on Twitter yet, so there's that.
Twitter will never be like 4chan unless someone is able to blast "Fuck niggers, fuck kikes and fuck jannies" on twitter without getting banned
