X is the most mainstream online community for free speech. It has wildly free speech
Sure it does. https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/14/on-elons-whim-x-now-treats...

Is a two year old article the only thing you have?
Nope!
Looooong list at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_by_Twitter.
Like when they banned posting the word Substack or linking to websites in your profile under Musk for a while. And @elonjet is still banned, despite an explicit promise not to.
Have you opened the second link? It's mind-boggling how anyone can still claim that.

All of those topics can be found other places if you look, then it updates your algorithm. I mean vaccine skepticism? Youtube and instagram have a million videos
It's pretty funny how you tried to completely sidestep the accusation, but still managed to confirm it
No online platform has free speech. No online platform should have free speech. Besides, free speech is a constitutional / legal thing, a platform does not need to host it.
Claiming Twitter has free speech (as in absolutist, as in you can say what you want and won't get banned) means you've drunk the kool-aid / accepted the propaganda.

You shouldn't expect his position to make sense. "Leftist outrage!"
As a reminder, a glimpse at X's front page a few weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46504404
I think it's very telling how you went to Reddit first when complaining about politics on social media, one of the only big ones that still hasn't been completely invaded by MAGA sycophants. Just admit you have no issues about politics on social media, you just want them to align with your views.
