It's good people like you who consider free speech some laughing matter don't lead the conversation.

I don't even want to think how dim the situation would be without him having taken over.

If you think that true "free speech" is possible on any platform with an algorithmic feed, I have a bridge to sell you.

Seems to me to be more possible than on a manually curated platform where any whiff of a differing opinion gets downvoted, [dead] and [flagged].

When Musk took over he added the "Following" tab back as front and center. People do like following the algo still, but also frequent the Following tab, something many competitors still don't have.

No need for anyone for ever having had to pretend, there's no platform with the amount of criticism of even the owner of the platform as X.

If that confuses you, look up the definition. It really is defining to Freedom of Speech that people that don't like specific speech still support it!
