Is this the same Elon who disallowed links to competitor sites? Who announced that the term "cisgender" would be classified as hate speech? Who suspended accounts for criticizing him? Who closed the site so it could be viewed by logged-in users only?
I understand advocating for free speech, but seeing that vision realized in Elon's management of Twitter requires willful blindness.

This is a tech-startup website that exists to monetize SV-style start-ups. The whole point is to make as much money as possible, and any FOSS love is wholly incidental.
I'll take down votes all day.

The more you suppress it, the more people seek it out.
The petty tyrants out there with opinions like yours deserve the freedom of speech they get because it shows that some stuff you think is valid isn't actually as valid as you think it is.
