Elon Musk is thinking about making a twitter competitor. I think it is a very important development that we all need as free speech and hate speech are being threatened big time. But I of course will have to reiterate that if one cannot say mean words on a social media website then it is by no means "free speech". Lets all hope that whatever becomes popular in the 2030s allows for public use of the words faggot, nigger, etc. not because everyone should use them. but because they're 'the great filter' of censorship. if you ban one word, you have shown you will ban them all. look at twitch.tv there is no end to their word banning with words like "simp" and "virgin" being banned. it's classic propaganda to ban any word. you're trying to restrict the way people think and express themselves. which as Elon Musk says, is antithetical to what a democracy is all about.

@i I feel a lot of people miss understand the meaning of free speech. You are free to say what you want on social media. Everyone has free speech it’s just how much punishment you receive for going against the status quo and that’s been the case forever.

@Flock It sounds like you're the one that does not understand free speech because social media has never had free speech. When people say free speech they are referring to the US Supreme Court standard. That is what people want from Social Media, but none are brave enough to give it to them.
