So im a pretty big free speech activist and in the last few days ive been going pretty hard on Muslims on X.
Im a memelord
But I'm also very mouthy and have no problem stretching the boundaries of speech. However i always stop short condoning violence or calls to action..i think its wrong categorically. We should never be violent or advocate for violence and i never will. I advocate for majority control and changes through legislation.
So imagine my surprise to see what now qualifies as free speech. A one week ban?
Im a bad man.
It is unfortunate that my memes are islamic related and i dont think its appropriate to post them here on a Q board or i would.
Nevertheless i dont trust Musk
GAW moderators also have to make decisions about what content we have to remove and whether to issue a ban etc.
We consider the Overton window at any given time. What we exclude varies depending on where we think the public awareness is at that time.
I don't want to speak for X and their policy, but sometimes there are strategic reasons for avoiding subjects for the time being.
This is wise Thank You
Makes sense,but we are the ones who have to move the publics awareness..... They are not going to notice stuff on their own,
We put up news and analysis which pushes the edge of the Overton window and then the memes can follow in the slipstream.
What the public will accept in a meme depends on recent events which move the window.
Good thing we are digital warriors then,that's a fine line to walk. And for the record,I don't have any problems with the moderation,you guys have to walk a fine line as well.
Thanks fren!
No problem. Maybe we need to push the window first and then the news and events drop.....rense and repeat. It would depend on how real the news is...
Just speculating,I don't have a AI supercomputer to track these things.
News like two tier policing in the UK and details about the Israel / Palestine war are the kinds of things that move that window. That level of news happens regardless of the memesphere ( I suppose ).
We can't realy be sure either way IMAO. Those events mentioned can be timed and manipulated,if their is a player with a plan and some hidden power......
I deleted my original Twitter back in 2015 after I was perma-banned. After Musk bought the company, I decided to sign up again and test it out. Within 3 weeks I was "suspended" again. They demanded that I take down one of my tweets to lift the suspension. (This way they could say 'he deleted the tweet on his own -- we didn't delete it!') This is the bullshit they use to get you to self-censor. I refused to delete the post and instead deleted my account. I'm not going back there to post ever again.
Have you tried to rejoin lately? I seem to recall that musk said there were still problems after the purchase.
Back when Trump / Musk did their conversation I signed up with a throw-away Gmail account just to listen. But, I won't post there again. Screw Twitter. They claim to be "free speech" but, they ban you if you piss off the right people.
Well if you haven’t pissed anyone off, then you’re not doing it right. 😁
happens to the best of us
I don’t trust Musk, either.
Without seeing your posts, think tactics. Play the long game. Nudges instead of mental shoves.
Gawd I love this board .... 100%
I didn’t do nothing, but I can’t tell you what I did.
Ummm it's more like I don't want to sync this account up to another
It's private? At least for now it is.
I think if someone was tech savvy enough and had the motive they could make the connection but I'm not important enough lol
I hope that seems reasonable.
That’s Okay. I am just ultra sensitive to the Elon hate. A lot of us have been pushed to the dark alleys of the internet to openly discuss basic subjects, like voat and 4chan. We have had to nimbly navigate the cancel culture.
Voat served its purpose, but unbridled free speech has its drawbacks. A moderated free speech platform is tricky. Making a judgement on your situation without seeing exactly what you said or memed, is also tricky. In that situation, I will default to Mr. Musk. Peace.
Fuck Moderation. Do they practice moderation with us?
Fuck no.
