Is this not a comical level of fragility?

Also if Kat is subtweeting something specific here, I’m not terminally online enough to know what.
I just think if you acknowledge that something is a joke and then get mad about it that it comes across as a very pathetic waste of attention.

The Enviosity lore is crazy, supposedly he had a mental breakdown and panic attack on stream cause tectone didn’t invite him to a game show lmao

without them ever actually deciding if they wanted a belligerent schizo to be their public image.
Unfortunately, what is most valuable about the trans community is not trans people themselves but the political capital they represent, and there's not really a whole lot you can do about it.

For all the damage keffals did to kiwifarms, destiny, and others, I think potentially the worst damage she did was to trans optics.
The leftist media unilaterally threw Keffals into this position of representing the trans community

I like mac more in most ways except ofc gaming; in some ways that can be a benefit if your looking for a work machine though because there are less distractions.

because I don't. I just think there's a lot more of a nuanced discourse to be had beyond "private company so who cares about free speech".

free speech, that doesn't mean it can't have sub-communities with their own user-run moderation standards.
A publicly funded social media might not be the worst idea in the world; I don't want to pretend like I've thought it all through and I have the optimal solution to all these considerations

I think it does work when you're dealing with an online space that functions a lot more like lots of squares in practice to one big square. There are lots of tools you can use on social media to curate what kinds of users and discourse you engage with. Also when we're talking about a platform being

There’s a third option though, ignore them. Of course people will say insane shit on the Internet because they’re anonymous, there’s no getting around that, but nobody’s saying you have to take them seriously. Dismiss them, laugh at them, mute/block them if you have to.

Bots is a fair point. I still don’t think it’s enough to convince me of real ID but I can at least see the argument for it and that it’s a reasonable enough position.

Well they picked the right one but then they modified it to remove many of the elements that made it great.
You’re right though, it’s way better than the old one, just makes me kinda sad whenever I see it.

I feel like the steelman argument here for real ID is that it allows us to better identify when people are saying a certain thing because they have a vested interest in it.
I just am unconvinced that benefit is worth the loss of anonymity.

The feedback to disagreeable speech should take on of two forms, you either ignore it or you counter rhetorically. Neither of these require real ID, the only kind of solution that would really need that is IRL harassment to scare them out of it, which hopefully we can agree is bad.

I’m very anti-Id pro-anonymity but if you can convince me that it’s significantly important for this scenario I might reconsider my position.
Also can we agree on this being the best flag?

landscape to account for social media being the predominant means of speech.
Traditionally free speech has been an issue of government overreach but corporations can exert very similar influences over society, for example Elon’s effect on the 2024 election.

Social media has become an increasingly inseparable part of speech in the modern world. I think if we believe in free speech as a concept we should probably have our minds open to the idea that now for free speech in ideal to remain in-tact, that protection has to extend into the private digital

- Recipient of the "threat" (joke) acknowledges that he understood the tweet as a joke and believes the account should be reinstated (i.e. joke is explicitly defensible under ToS as it can be considered "consensual speech")

There is no recourse for this user who was suspended for a joke, a joke that is provably a joke arguably beyond reasonable doubt:
- Know your meme page corroborating that its a joke
- Language in the joke indicates comedic intent

So in summary, my theory is @allunaro's appeals do not get read, and his other accounts' appeals are handwaved under the reasoning that they were banned legitimately for ban evasion.
comment in response to

a response. The problem is whenever he sends in an appeal for those other accounts using a defense that pertains to the original reason he was suspended on @allunaro, those appeals get rejected with some message like "this account was banned for ban evasion, it will not be restored".

Id rather argue with them and prove them wrong than send them out to containment sites where they can share ideas uncontested.

If it is that would seem to indicate to me that censoring fascists and isolating them in their own epistemic bubbles has done nothing to help.
At the very least that indicates its not enough, so whats the next step? Throwing them in jail so they can't have any social influence?

I've consistently argued against war, I think its bad, we should avoid it.

The idea that allowing fascists to give an opinion is a slippery slope that inevitably leads to Nazi Germany is completely unhinged.
Something tells me the integrity of our democratic system isn't totally helpless the minute we allow a fascist access to a twitter account.

There's nothing to refute, he states an opinion and gives nothing of substance to support it.

Advocating for the tolerance of a belief system =/= advocating for the practical application of that belief system.
The steelman argument against me here would be that advocating for fascist tolerance is likely to make it easier for fascist praxis, but this argument is not a good one.

Correct. I obviously don't want the existence of a fascist state, but I would not deny fascists the ability to openly express their opinions on the merits of a fascist state.

Nazism is necessarily fascistic, that doesn't make any sense. Obviously I'm not pro-either, I'm just pro-free expression, a position that is mutually incompatible with fascism & nazism.
I don't know why you find this so difficult to understand.

Do you have a source for that? Seems like a wild assertion lol

I don't discriminate between freedom of speech on the basis of merit or value because Im not a fascist.

Thats not a good thing, we shouldn't be segregating the Internet based on political differences.
