Time to dust off this tweet again
- Classic.
- Which is a summary of this article: https://www.techdirt.com/2022/11/02/hey-elon-let-me-help-you-speed-run-the-content-moderation-learning-curve/
Good. Fuck Chaya Raichik and her little army of bigots. And fuck Elon Musk for removing the rules that helped protect trans people on Twitter in the first place. Let this basket of deplorables fight it out amongst themselves.
While we're at it: joinmastodon.org

I'm just going to deadname Twitter and ask why some of you assholes are still on there
Oh, I got my hopes up, but this headline is slightly misleading. It's just shadowbanning posts that have misgendering and deadnaming in them. A baby step in the right direction I guess
I wonder if Elon still thinks cis is a slur
- I wonder if Elon still thinks cis is a slur
  Probably. I'm guessing Mush is one of those "Never admit you were wrong, because that is a sign of weakness" kinda morons.
  
  Also, the petty manchild bigot will never forgive all trans people for his ex dating Chelsea Manning 🤦
  
  Sadly, the crap about never admitting to anything is working for a lot of them.
- I mean... Isn't always shadow banning a much better option? Otherwise they quickly go and create a new account.
  
  Well there was someone who was shadow banned on Reddit by mistake for years, and they thought everyone hated them because no one replied or upvoted. So it's not always the best option.
  
  I think shadow banning is unethical. You trick people into yelling at the void, never knowing why nobody ever responds or interacts with them.
  Sure, fuck bigots and all that, but undeserving people inevitably get caught up in automatic filters and by overzealous mods.
  I say ban and give a clear reason why you banned and use a combination of browser fingerprinting & IP address to ban new accounts.
I guess Space Karen wants just enough normal people to stay on Xitter in the hopes it makes money?
Musk isn't pulling that service from it's debt load no matter what he does.
- We found out that Reddit has been operating at a loss for twenty years now, so I expect the next great and amazing business move from Musk will be a ~~pump and dump~~ IPO where they offer first crack to the Sooper Dooper Twitter X Blue Premium Ultra users, and all the right-wing shitheads will talk about how amazing and glorious and brave this move is while none of them buy any shares at all.
