Your post title comes the closest out of anything I've read so far to actually explaining what the fuck got censored. But no cigar.
Elon should have just denied it so that the onus would be on posters like you and me to post some proof along with the claim, if we want to make a claim. Instead, Idk about you guys, but I have seen this screenshot of Elon's response a dozen or more times without any shred of... anything. I haven't even seen a direct link posted with the screenshot, so for all I know it could be nothing but a jpeg.
I realize it is in all likelihood real and that it's my job to verify things I read if I care to know, but a point approaches where any statement boils down to a claim, and you have either presented something on that claim or presented nothing.
When I become fuhrer of my own forum I will just prune posts that present nothing, and leave a message (to the effect of "post again with source or argumentation"). Not comments, mind you, but posts. In some cases all you'll need to present is an arguement, because the claim is of logic. In other cases you need to present a live hyperlink, because the claim is of report. In certain cases a photograph, because the claim is of action. In all cases I would gleefully smash delete on posts that just "present topic"
Like what did you present? The topic? A prompt? To start a conversation? About the topic? The topic on which nothing has been presented? Circle of noise and waste. My authoritarian attitude on this is the difference between investigating the truth versus gossiping about Becky, like women
Don't take this as a personal attack... it's so many people, it's genuine people more than bad people, people just wanna chat, I get it, but where can I find a place that's worth a damn to read, if our comments are "general internet chatter" that could be taking place at the same quality literally anywhere. The same FUCKING jpgs everywhere, same convos everywhere, kill me. I used to know places that were ran the way I describe, but they have melted away like so much delicious butter.
