    This weaponised de-platforming that Elon does is genuinely bad. It's used against anyone he decides he dislikes.

    Obviously we don't care about feds like Bellingcat but he's definitely using this against leftists too.

    With any luck the feds will kill him.

        Nah I beg to differ. Previous management absolutely didn't engage in this.

        Reddit does with its suppression of subreddits it decides are a problem for it. But that's because Spez is also a fash.

            For what though? Violence or hate or overtly harassing people, I've nothing against harassing libs but it's pretty simple to see it's not something that exists to specifically target communists. You weren't targeted for existing as an effective commie, which is what's going to come down on any communists as soon as Musk decides to.

        No? Criticising repressive actions on these platforms is self defence.

            Nah I disagree. There's moderation and then there's this, this isn't moderation, it's what fascists do, and they won't hesitate to do it to us if we just sit around and say nothing when they do it to libs first.

            It's one of the few cases where we ought to still be against this behaviour. It will hurt us MUCH more than it will hurt the state.

        Wow, what a disingenuous reading!

      I don't think Elon is cool or good, I just think this specific instance is funny.
