Freedom of speech as long as it fit's in Elmos narrative. It's bit naive to think twitter offers this.

  Eh, it's a lot less restrictive than Bluesky with its block lists maintained by weirdos. What are some things you aren't allowed to say on Twitter? I see people talk all the time about how great Bluesky is, yet I never see any great posts there. The discussion is almost always just in relation to Twitter. Reminds me a bit of when people were pushing for Lemmy.

    Can't say cisgender, can't repeat ADS-B data, can't interview people Elon Musk doesn't like, even off platform. Didn't they ban the devs of Nitter, too? https://fortune.com/2024/09/25/twitter-x-account-suspensions-triple-transparency-report-elon-musk/ https://fortune.com/2024/09/25/twitter-x-account-suspensions... If you aren't banned, either Musk agrees with you, or you are small so he hasn't noticed you or doesn't see you as a threat.

      You can say cisgender on X, I'm not sure who told you that you can't. There are, quite literally, thousands of people doing so every day. https://x.com/search?q=cisgender&src=typed_query&f=live https://x.com/search?q=cisgender&src=typed_query&f=live This is a pretty silly point to be arguing about, but I can pretty confidently say you're dead wrong on that. As far as running flight trackers for celebrities, assuming that's what you mean by "ADS-B data", I think you'll need to use Bluesky for that I'm afraid.

    Twitter actually ban and "shadowban" accounts completely at random for every weird reasons. The difference between it and the rest is that it turns blind eyes on most blatant of ban evasions, so much so that its own support sometimes recommending it to users when they were banned. This had been the case since it legitimately was Twitter and there were no injected African spams.

Very frustrating to be on the receiving end. > The difference between it and the rest is that it turns blind eyes on most blatant of ban evasions, so much so that its own support sometimes recommending it to users when they were banned When was this?
