Besides the obvious right wing interference in politics, star link weaponization in some countries - how can anybody stomach the saving-humanity-agenda while running a major social media unresponsiveliy without caring of moderation, its consequences for real people?

I think the lack of moderation is a feature not a bug. People actually get to express themselves freely, very unlike the sterile feeling you get from mainstream social media, with content engineered for maximum engagement and political correctness for maximum ad revenue.

X doesn’t seem to care any of that.

Because someone's moderation is censorship to someone else. Begging Musk for free speech is another issue in itself though so you better don't bet on X allowing you to speak forever.

Free speech is one of these things that is always used as a trojan for doing ultimate good.

Let us empower anybody to say anything they want AND enforce everybody to have to listen to it.

Anonymous free speech is not free speech. There is no accountability. It should not should not be a human right. Its destroying our societies. The evidence should be clear by now.

If you really think that free speech is the trojan horse and not "moderation to fight misinformation or bad behavior" we are not the same.
