Silicon Valley CA where the only politics is left, and even more left.

Twitter post Elon is Awesome,

They are crying foul now that rules are actually being evenly enforced instead of just on the right. The activists that claim to be journalists having to follow actual rules for once in their life

What is the saying... To the privileged equality looks like oppression, well that is what the Activists that work for mainstream media are feeling today on twitter

Do you still feel this way after they suspended PG?

  • I disagree with the rule, however the rule was broken so yes I still feel the same

    My number one complaint about Twitter, YT, Twitch, or any other large platform is the arbitrary and uneven enforcement of rules, Person A does action and gets nothing, person B does same action get permabanned, often as a result of their political influence, notoriety, internal connections, or in the case of twitter often just being of the "correct" political party

    I would prefer a different rules set, always have for twitter but if they are going to have a rule it absolutely unquestionably needs to be enforced equally across the platform.

    • The only person I saw suspended during that insane period was PG. Hundreds of people in my TL were saying "FU heres my mastodon ban me if you want Elon" and didn't see any repercussions whatsoever.
