That 'censorship regime' (your words, not mine) was doing a very good job compared to the clown running it today.


Somehow Elon's Twitter is even worse for anything remotely queer. I run into the "sensitive content" click walls any time I follow a link to anything on furry Twitter these days, and it's never a tweet that remotely warrants it.


I wasn't expecting anything different from a company run by the archtypical techbro. Musk is doing a lot of damage in a very indirect way: plenty of people see in him their justification for being jerks.


Everyone likes the censors when they are on their side.


Yes, but Twitter was arguably doing a reasonably good job of that part of their mission. You can debate about the business side, it's not easy monetizing something like that but they showed rather a lot of restraint and if they messed up they fixed things.

The people that see this differently are typically the same people who believe that 'the Twitter files' were revelatory, when in fact they weren't. Strong overlap there with eternal Trump supporters and various complot theory proponents, I'm not sure what degree of evidence would be able to convince people like that.
