Journalist says he finds it ‘surreal’ to have account on X suspended after writing critique of platform::The author’s account had over 100,000 followers and was around 14 years old, he said
I wouldn’t call it “surreal” at all, I’d call it “completely expected” given who runs that platform
Elon Free Speech Musk himself? Never!
He must have a tiny pp to be that insecure
The two aren’t mutually exclusive.
Depressing how quickly this kind of stuff went from outrageous to completely normal.
Well that’s actually exactly what I’d expect
First off, just call it Twitter.
Second, get off Twitter!
Séamas gave us of the funniest story threads I’ve ever read on that cursed site: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/992006545473966082.html
Yup - this is one that stayed with me. This has earned a place in internet history.
I wanna know the timeframe here. Ket doesn’t last very long.
Towards the end he says that it was about 35 minutes. Plus maybe green ket is like blue meth.

Holy shit, thanks for that
Musk is only a free speech absolutist for the speech he supports.

I just wish that a free-speech-absolutist-billionaire would buy the platform so things like this wouldn’t happen anymore. He could even rename it something cool (like ‘Y’ or ‘Z’) to get some street-cred with edgy middleschoolers…
What pains me the most is that idiots still simp for Elon after all of this.
They simp because of this. He is “owning the libs” by being a fragile thin-skinned clown while unbanning actual Nazis.
“Liberal finds it surreal that neoliberalism creates fascism”
Such a weird thing! :D
“Free speech absolutist”, my ass…

Well there’s your problem, it’s 14 so Daddy Musk started taking an interest in fucking it.
Anyone surprised by Musky at this point only has themselves to blame.
Technofeudalism
Have a lovely and ribald toast for a Musk stroke.
Llama still inhabiting former llama enclosure (recently and very publicly converted to a tiger pen) confused by strange occurrence of tiger bites.
Yeah what did he expect. It’s not a people’s platform anymore. It’s the owner’s. Better he be off and do his own thing elsewhere. Find better fields!
