I thought that when Elon took over it was opened up for free speech. Guess I was wrong.

The idea of free speech online is like lifting your dress to tinkle on a posie in a field. You'll get in trouble and the flower won't grow.

X is great.

But it's not perfect.

Most likely, there are some woke censors plus AI.

Elon is too busy with SpaceX and Tesla so he does not have the time to do everything on X.

“I thought that when Elon took over it was opened up for free speech. Guess I was wrong.”


Pre-Elon it was very restrictive. I was suspended for trolling troons, got back on. Then suspended for trolling Judy Woodruff about Q Anon.

Got back on when Elon took over.

It was wide open at first. For the first while everything was 4Chan level racism etc.

But it has gotten more restrictive over time.

Right now, posts with any slurs against races or against troons or fags get hidden.

Stink-Indians are the most protected class right now.

Indians are mass reporting any “insults against indians”, and those people seem to control suspensions, so demanding H1B termination or deportations or ability to block by region are on the edge of mass reporting and banned by their ethnic cronies.
