These are not conservatives, they are criminals, authoritarians, fascists, and unhinged conspiracy theorists, who should not be given “free reach” to spread their message to millions of people.

On the other hand, pg, the creator of this site, was banned under the new management at Twitter. Ditto many other people whose only transgressions were saying words like “cis” or relaying publicly-available information.

Free speech indeed.

pg posts many times a day on Twitter. He was briefly banned when Elon and he started arguing, but they quickly worked it out.

Yes, that’s true, and doesn’t refute anything I said.

I mean, literal Nazis post hateful shit every day and don’t get banned. So the takeaway is that as long as you don’t anger the toddler-in-chief you’re good to go. Free speech!!
