Not gonna lie, when I see that someone is banned on X, I assume credibility
- kylebenzle 2y agoWhy? Are many credible people banned on Twitter?
- munk-a 2y agoA lot of credible people have left Twitter - it has gotten much more overrun by bots and a lot of very hateful accounts have been reinstated and protected. It is a poor platform for reasonable discussion and I think it's fair to say it's been stifling open expression. The value is disappearing.
- bun_terminator 2y agothat was not the question
- munk-a 2y agoI think it was an appropriate answer at the heart of the matter - most credible people are leaving the platform due to the degradation of quality on it. For a literal example of a ban though there are few examples better than Dell Cameron[1]. 1. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/04/elon-musk-twitter-still-banning-journalists https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/04/elon-musk-twitter-st...
