He "thinks" blocking hampers free speech (also is allegedly computationally expensive for the servers).

lol I was wondering what happened. Flagged for "spam" but the only thing I do is mock and block blue ticks. I figured I would get banned for harassment at some point but this is somehow even dumber.

I figured he was suspending people because he wants to force Twitter users to see ads, which equal revenue.

i doubt it matters what content you block, elon probably told a team to do something about block lists by the end of the day or you're fired, and the best they could do was detect when people are blocking accounts above some arbitrary rate and temporarily halt it

the fact that it says spam is probably just because they copy/pasted from an existing spam detection algorithm and didn't bother changing the text

I don't ever block any ads, I do at most one retweet a week, but I do block bots and accounts that only post hate speech, so yeah that earned me a 3 day probation for spam.

Hey bluechecks, get this

Nobody "forces" anyone to declare their pronouns. It is something they choose to do, voluntarily, in order to be nice to others

:actually: I think you'll find that the only people who do that are virtue signalling cultural terrorists and every time you see it they are launching a forceful attack on everything you hold familiar and dear. It is important to remain in a heightened state of awareness as they could kick down the door at any time and assault you with a letter that is addressed without a Mr or Mrs in front of your name.

Nah. "Ironic" Holocaust denial can gently caress right off.

Yeah, it's 100% a joke that doesn't need to be made. This is just the kind of thing I see floating around that understandably annoys a lot of people, but then it gets turned around by chud types. If I decide to go onto Facebook, I'll probably find a couple of my cousins crying about how hypersensitive libs are persecuting Roseann and continuing the destruction of the series reboot they don't watch anymore because the wokies got the only person who matters thrown off, or something of the sort. Then they'll joke about making Jewish people fight by throwing a nickel between them, and wonder why anybody suspects them of antisemitism.

i watched the roseanne clip and while she does have some jokes woven in, the whole thing is so incoherent and unprompted that i don't think you can write it all off as a joke

like if i had to guess, i think she was joking when she said she wished a holocaust would happen, but i don't think she was joking when she denied that the real holocaust occurred, and especially not about the classic jewish media conspiracy stuff
