Nice letter. I appreciate the sentiment.

I’d invite him to join in as a lurker first. Then he could sign up and donate if he felt it necessary.

Free Republic has never banned users for their political views


But users need to be prepared to defend and explain their views. Some here criticize others for not being conservative enough, or supportive enough of Trump, or not critical enough of RINO Republicans, just to name some issues which are hotly debated here.

“could transform Free Republic into a modernized hub, integrating features like real-time posting or mobile apps while preserving its independent spirit.”

NO! No modernization, no app.

BBEB: Bravo! Brilliant idea. On a side note it never hurts to ask.

Don’t we already have real time posting? What are they talking about?

Agreed, why the need for a Free Republic app, when we can just log on the way we always have?

Not trying to hijack your thread, but what better subject (a vanity) to use than this:

What do you like most about FREE REPUBLIC ?

My first answer is : That it has never changed. The format and methodology of FR works.

Agree. It still functions as it always has. So many sites have changed, not always for the better, over the decades.

Amen. For crying out loud, there is no excuse for the tight-fistedness around here. Why should Musk play enabler?

...it’s about allowing all voices, especially those marginalized by mainstream gatekeepers, to be heard.

Leftist nutballs get the hook pretty quickly. Don't need no commies.

Well, they do get heard. Whether they remain after that is another issue.

If he did, the enemedia and their commie pals would work feverishly to attack this site more than they already do. A large donation in private would be nice, though.

I don't know if he reads FR, but when I posted this over three years ago, he did me one better and joined President Trump's team shortly after.

He MAY be lurking. I don't know.

Excellent letter. Well thought out and well constructed.

You might think about posting it directly on X directly to Mr. Musk. You will have a better chance of him reading it there.

The moderators on Elon’s X found a way to ban me for constantly poking holes in liberal arguments. They said I broke the terms of service by wishing harm to someone, but I actually did no such thing. They banned me for life over some made up BS that I didn’t do. This was done to me under Elon’s X, not when it was Twitter.

My point is, Elon’s X is still shadow banning, lifetime banning and turning away voices their moderators don’t agree with. They’re still lefty moderators running his site. It’s not the bastion of free speech that they claim to be because they’ll silence voices that they can’t beat in a fair argument.

I’m now on Truth Social where I can say whatever I want to say. The hell with X.
