That's an ironic argument from someone trying to argue for Twitter
X, however, is pro free speech. Everyone is platformed. Everyone can discuss. Everyone can debate. It is a bubble that protects free speech from censorship. The left struggles to understand it and retreats to bluesky.
What’s more, the EFF numbers seem to tell a story of shadowbanning as another commenter said, not merely dying engagement.
You don’t have a “free speech” microphone on X. You just have a place where you can hang out with others that are also sharing views most of the people outside the US find atrociously medieval. Power to you I guess.
(And before you call me “the left” - I’m not; I just don’t live in the Overton window that is across the Atlantic).
Defending my own shared identity, I have to repeatedly mention how bifurcated our society is. We are still trying to get out of the water.
