    Perhaps, in Twitter’s case. I don’t know.

    In Reddit’s case it’s simply a moron aping another; I don’t think that Huffman has the depth of thought necessary to evaluate the impact of his own actions.

      Twitter is bought out by a raging right-wing sociopath who literally coups other countries for resources, purposefully affects public policy at every opportunity, and habitually pumps n’ dumps crypto and stocks, and you think it’s impossible for him to have destroyed the platform that used to be the international commons on purpose??? Please justify your reasoning, I can’t wait.

        Don’t be a liar. Or worse, assumptive trash eager to put words onto the others’ mouths.

        I did not say anything remotely interpretable as that. I literally said “Perhaps, in Twitter’s case. I don’t know.”

        Please justify your reasoning, I can’t wait.

        I’m not justifying the claim that you’re lying (or assuming) that I made.

        Please go back to Reddit, where assumptiveness and illiteracy are praised and cheered.

        [I apologise to other users in this community for my tone, but I think that it’s warranted here.]

          Apologies, I suppose. I read it as “perhaps, except in Twitters case.”

          I won’t go back to Reddit, but I will lay down, do some reflecting, and cry a bit. Cheers!

            Apology accepted. I also apologise for the tone.


            If you want my opinion on Twitter: I’m not too informed on the platform but I think that he did it on purpose, and due to stupidity. He is a right-wing sociopath and a moron with enough money to become too big to fail.

            A smart but malicious person in Musk’s shoes would’ve likely introduced the changes slowly, boiling the frogs there, shifting the Overton window to the right, in a way that benefits rich people in detriment to everyone else - because that would benefit Musk himself. Twitter as “the international commons” makes it valuable for anyone to spread shitty discourses there, in a way that they reach governments directly.

            But instead of seizing the tool for his own purposes, he broke it.
