Quote from: Legend on Nov 07, 2022, 09:30 PMI didn't think it was controversial for people to describe twitter as left leaning. Regardless of truth, that's a take I've seen for years from other left leaning people.
Yeah its pretty obvious and most people would describe it like that like you say.  When i say left leaning, I mean some of the most extreme left leaning.  But then again you still get the absolute far right still able to spout nonsense with nothing to back claims up on other platforms and probably even twitter. I don't pay attention to twitter that much, tbh.



People from both "left" and "right" are targeted and banned no doubt.  If what elon says about moderation all being the same still, then i don't get how it can be a bigger cesspool than it already is.  That just means that things that people are trying to get away with now would have always gotten through the moderation.  Now lets see after bigger moderation changes come what happens.  Its still waaaaay too early to say anything definitive.

Either way twitter will never be any sort of main social media for me.  Unless it just magically gets boring and mundane.

IMO, most everything one can say free speech wise is pretty much allowed beyond hate speech and violence, etc.

My thing is while the vast majority of people are usually good people, you get them behind a keyboard and fairly anonymous, and they push the boundaries likely even if they don't believe some of the stuff they post.

I'm actually really impressed with their new verification plans. Will be hard to get enough subscribers to pull it off, but they could become the only form of social media secure from interference.

I'm 50 50 on if twitter dies within 12 months or becomes bigger than facebook.

I'm in a similar boat.
On the one hand, there seems to be some serious desire to improve twitter.
On the other hand, it seems very "flying by the seat of Elon's pants".

Spoiler for definition for the idiom:
<br>To &#39;fly by the seat of your pants&#39; is to decide a course of action as you go along, using your own initiative and perceptions rather than a predetermined plan or mechanical aids.[/quote]

It's one of the things that has helped make Tesla and SpaceX successful. Despite having thousands of employees, they're as agile as startups. Musk is "in a powerful position with a big hammer."

he's the "authoritarian" of his company.  

that can work well in business culture especially when the top of the company has creativity and vision.   "steve jobs".  

it's also why i think anyone suggesting government should be run more like a business is crazy,.. they're basically lusting to give up their freedoms.  governments inability to move quickly is not a flaw,.. it's an important feature that prevents anyone from taking control of it to the detriment of everyone else.
