Twitter may go away like an old version of AOL. Da free market. I never been on the Twitter.

An honest question, will it be replaced by another echo chamber or are people "moving past" this type of social media?

So many lefty accounts getting banned for being critical of musk. Falcon is so gullible.

The only Mastodon I know is the band, that I have seen and those hairy beasts. Danks for the suggestion but I am not cool enough for that.

It's essentially a decentralized form of social media. Instead of a single corporation, Mastodon allows individual users to host a server, while allowing each server to still communicate with other servers on the Mastadon network.

One benefit: each server provides its own rules moderation, rather than one corporation making all those decisions. Each server is also able to decide which other servers it will communicate with - this means that the worse content can still be excluded (even if hosting its own server) if the community at large refuses to communicate with it. Gab, if any of you recall that cesspool, was technically on the Mastodon network but still excluded for all purposes. In my opinion, this is the best solution between corporate censorship and rampant hate speech.

One negative: this means it's not as simple as going to mastodon.com and signing up - you need to find a specific server or host your own. Pretty similar social media experience beyond that, though.

Twitter is less of an echo chamber compared to, say, here. It's the same half dozen people beating on each other with verbal sticks.

On Twitter, one could presumably bludgeon thousands, nay, millions.

---

Based on this mastodon response, I'm guessing even more compartmentalized. As Shivas said, servers will form their own little blacklists and such. Sounds like a cross between reddit and discord. I guess that's not terrible? I mean, r/conservative exists, and it is pretty well walled off from the outside world. I imagine something similar will happen here.

And then everyone will just use tik tok. It's like Twitter, but you also gotta be hot. It's like the upgrade from radio to tv.

Why do you hate free speech? Why are you actively supporting twitter deciding what people can and cannot say? You sir, are a communist.

I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them.  I also attack my side if I think they're wrong.  People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

When is that general amnesty supposed to occur? Elon said "next week" on November 24th - it's now eight days later and the big news today is that Kanye is banned from Twitter again, despite neither breaking the law or engaging in egregious spam (Elon's two explicitly stated exemptions).

Actually, Kanye's post did break the law in several countries.

Yeah that's probably true, but goes to show how even Elon's 'reasonable' limits on free expression aren't reasonable when brought to an absolute. How does that standard hold up when countries often have conflicting notions of criminality and expression?

The only standard that matters is the one that Elon chooses.  It's his platform, so whatever arbitrary line he draws is the line.

More importantly it's even less free than when he took over.and even easier to impersonate people.

This is where we disagree.  It is Elon exercising his absolute right to choose what speech he sponsors.

We don't have the absolute right to choose what speech we sponsor - Elon isn't free to sponsor certain prohibited forms of illegal content, for example.

Besides - even if he could - 'free speech absolutism' is usually in reference to no restrictions on a societal level, rather than the individual level.
