One has to be terminally online if they A care about twitter, B think it has anything to do with "freedom"

Why? There's no free speech environment if it lacks spaces that upset you for existing. X's existence in the name of "freedom", even if you disagree with the characterization, in turn protects your free speech. In fact, nothing else really does.

People should touch some grass instead of debating if insulting groups of people online is what the founding fathers meant by freedom of speech, or if it actually brings anything of value to society. Twitter is still censoring a lot of shit, it just changed side and now that it's yours it's "freedom"

btw freedom of speech doesn't exist anywhere to begin with. Even in the self proclaimed "land of the free" you can't swear on public tv lmao, libel, slander, obscenity, fraud, &c. are all illegal. Meanwhile nobody talks about freedom of press even though the US ranks closer to Hungary than western europe, so much for freedom of speech...

Reminder that twitter is a bubble in the internet, which itself also is a bubble, and that real life exists out there.

That makes no sense, in total.

Then it's a good opportunity for you to reflect on why it doesn't make sense, go and educate yourself a little. Congrats, you learned you need to learn a little today!
