@DetroitDan @t0nyyates if you recall it was @yoyoel who called bullshit on that long before musk was on the scene. musk has tried to exonerate by force of will his mostly mistaken prejudices with respect to the moderation of pre-musk twitter. i disliked lots about pre-musk twitter’s moderation, but by comparison to current twitter, they were actually trying (sometimes failing) to adhere to norms they openly set out. now it’s just musk at the colliseum, thumbs up, thumbs down.
