The microblogging website for posting random thoughts with 280 characters will save us from tyranny. The revolution will be tweeted.

Sheesh the ego on this guy.

Still contemplating why I didn't register here under a clever pseudonym

I'm sure, in his mind, it's meant to piggyback on the protests in China right now, especially because Apple restricted AirDrop that protestors were using to communicate. Too bad he's the equivalent of a mid-tier CCP operative. And I bet he would bend the knee to Xi too, if that's what it took to preserve his status.

Lol forgot about that. Kinda deflates his argument a bit since it’s Trump’s preferred platform so obviously it offers more constitution than Twitter.

Really for embedded content (vs. stuff that requires contacting known ad host domains) it can just break from random things changing that break whatever detection filter the block rule uses. It usually gets blocked again after a few hours (which has already happened for UBlock).
