Funny how shadowbans become a thing on Youtube.
I remember saying 'I disagre with you because "X" and "Y", after one day the comment don't even appear on the commentary session, only if I login with my account, to give me the illusion of 'he still there'.
Totally reason if someone insult or use bad words and the creator use the report button, but now creators are so fucking snowflakes that only single disagreement is reason to simple shadowban and making no one interact with that commentary.
And those people still have some nerves to talk about democracy.

Don't care about Twitter or Musk but the meltdowns have been entertaining as fuck.

That's the funny thing to me. None of the people bagging on Elon Musk and calling him an idiot have ever contributed anything to society other than social media shitposts much less started multiple cutting edge technology companies that have pushed forward the automotive, aerospace and energy spaces at the same time. This man is not an idiot. They're just angry that they can't do anything about him. He can't be canceled.

Guys Elon Musk is really really dumb... he didn't even build the rocket himself. His tweets are very harmful. Well, glad I got that off my chest, time to go masturbate furiously to some videos of Ruzzians getting blowed up real good as I am a very virtuous gentleman.

Beat EviLore at pool.
Stupidity. It was said before just now people are actually looking for it. If you search the word, it you can see it was posted like a month ago as well. Just no one has reported it because they have like 5 followers.
He didn't get rid of the mods or anything. He just fired the person who was in charge which is a common thing to do when you buy a company.

The point is, I think, is that he didn't invent anything himself. He was born wealthy and paid his way up, taking the credit for those he stood on the shoulders of. He is not an engineer or scientist, he contributed nothing to these achievements aside from money and, from reports, abusive managing techniques. In regards to SpaceX he merely repeated the same observations thousands of others did before him, realizing that the way governments were going about space travel was unsustainable and needed private sector interjection. It was far from some insightful or new idea - people had been petitioning the USA and Russia for that since like 1996.
But off course he is a savvy businessman. Otherwise he wouldn't be the richest man in the world. But don't mistake financial smartness with any other vocation.

One thing I'm quite interested to see is how moderation changes, especially when it comes to transparency. I always respect when platforms make their rules clear. If someone's violating the rules, they should know what rule and why. That can then be an example for others of what isn't allowed, and people can rightfully criticize if the rule isn't being applied to everyone.

Jordan Peterson was banned for "dead naming" Ellen Page.

Allowing people to choose what they wish to see is entirely different from the platform itself restricting things from what people wish to see in a heavily targeted manner.No he doesn't. In his statement to advertisers he literally talks about the ability of users to choose their experience based on their preferences. Which allows people to insulate themselves from content they don't want.
Now that concept sounds familiar

Twitter mods and engineers shaking in their boots as we speak. Musk will clean house and set more open views so both ends of the political spectrum can have their fun.
All the Twitter workers had to do is just do what they did way back when it was a neutral kind of site where people were just posting normal boring stuff. When things over the years amped up on political stuff, they had a choice. Clamp down on both sides, or let both sides freely do their thing. However, they clamped down more on one side only. So much for social media being for the people to speak their minds. You'd think the last people on Earth at tech companies waving the ban hammer would be geeky coders, but here we are.

I don't even like the dude, he's a smartass.
Most of his videos he just waffles.
He's a psudo-intellect.
Anyone that listens to him is missing a brain cell. He sure is, well documented.Dude is a lunatic.

This reads like a typical Twitter response. Ignore entirely the point of my post and who I was replying to and just ramble on making nonsensical claims so you can muddy the topic at hand.
Let's say he is all those things, who gives a shit? The fact he was banned for not going along with the gender ideology nonsense is a dumb reason to be permanently banned for and it shouldn't have happened.
Thats the problem, a certain group of people are 100% okay with people being removed from social media only because THEY don't like them. This type of thinking and censorship is WRONG period, regardless of who it impacts.
Their are so many dumb people on Twitter who if they were banned the platform would legit lose nothing. But I'd rather have everything out in front of me and let me make the decision if I want to see it or not. Twitter themselves making that decision for me is wrong.
Also only women can get pregnant and Trans women are not women.

Reeeers and other leftists: deliberately searching for tweets containing n word and racial slurs that they would otherwise not even see......and then going "look!!! Twitter is full of the n word!!"
So do you think those posts are OK? Do you only think they were bad because people didn't notice them before?

Disingenuous baiting. The other place is trying to claim that those posts exist just because Elon took over.

Wow, you too man? So racist and bigoted shit is OK if it wasn't largely highlighted in the past?
Good lord man. I didn't peg you for this type, but thanks for letting me know to ignore you.

Ive never seen a post with an n word in it. And ive been using twitter for years and followed Trump and lots of conservative peoples tweets.
Im sure they exist. But just saying these people must be trying really hard to find them.
It's all in the wrist

You can merely perform a Google search right now and get tons of results. Even from the past 48 hours. Are you pretending that we can't merely observe reality?
I won;t link any because it's disgusting and would get me rightfully banned, but don't pretend like it isn't happening. We can all look and see.

Why would I? I have better things to do.
If I don't see them, why does it matter to me whether they exist or not? It's not like Twitter is shoving racist tweets down my throat.
Just like there's billions of websites out there and I'm sure a ton of them are racist, but but I don't go look for them.
Anyway whats happening with the left right now is reminding me of this scene. Its a witch hunt. We must find those evil racist tweeters wherever they are hiding and burrrnnn themmmm!!!

Each to their own.
He did go mental, it was sad. I have pity for him. He documented it. He posted it online.
I've got an advanced degree in mathematics. If I tried to talk about current issues in HVAC my arguments would have a veneer of authority but collapse under any real scrutiny. Jordan Peterson is known for his opinions on things beyond his training and the bulk of his schtik is using the cachet of being a professor to entertain a specific audience.
