That's an ironic argument from someone trying to argue for Twitter

Agreed, Twitter suspended accounts for "misgendering" and sharing Hunter Biden laptop stories. It was a bubble that protected leftists.
X, however, is pro free speech. Everyone is platformed. Everyone can discuss. Everyone can debate. It is a bubble that protects free speech from censorship. The left struggles to understand it and retreats to bluesky.
“Everyone” isn’t platformed on X, I’ve seen enough stories of Musk himself banning people he doesn’t like from the platform with plenty of audience cheering him on.
What’s more, the EFF numbers seem to tell a story of shadowbanning as another commenter said, not merely dying engagement.
You don’t have a “free speech” microphone on X. You just have a place where you can hang out with others that are also sharing views most of the people outside the US find atrociously medieval. Power to you I guess.
(And before you call me “the left” - I’m not; I just don’t live in the Overton window that is across the Atlantic).
