If there's one thing I think we've learned from Twitter, it's that for most people, none of that actually matters.

De-platform folks on the alt-right?

Twitter lives on.

De-platform folks on the left, re-platform folks on the alt-right?

Twitter still lives on (though with far fewer advertisers).

Ban journalists and then invite them back? Journalists: "Please sir, may I have some more?"

It seems only folks who are chronically online actually talk about any of this, and only a vanishing few actually care enough to do anything about it.

That said...

> but at least I have a choice to look at whatever I want without corporate nanny censoring world for me.

Yeah, I don't know which Twitter you've been visiting, but this is just flat out not correct. Twitter is absolutely censored. Maybe it's censored in a way you like, but let's not pretend it's some sort of free speech free-for-all.



I dont pretend that Twitter is not censored, but Facebook censorship is far more intrusive, random and puritanic. This is not about some political views, but I just practically dont see how platform like this can succeed.

After all Instagram and Twitter have really different audiences for a reason.


When were people on the left de-platformed?



Interesting!
