To be fair, Chad’s my client and he can be a bit much. Remember, on your site, the First Amendment gives you free speech and free association rights to ban whomever you want for whatever petty reasons you want. https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-leaked-internal-message-suggests-musk-ordered-leftwing-account-freeze-2023-1

  • @Popehat Such decisions are why I'm here, and not on Twitter. I think that's appropriate.

    @Popehat That's true, but Twitter puts the blanket acusation on the user page stating that the user has broken twitter rules, which is not a simple expression of their descriession.

  • @Popehat As long as they're racists and or nazi's, Elmo is good with them. And who did he meet with recently, Qevin and Gomer from Kentucky, probably Gym as well. It's his platform, and it's going to be the furthest right wing hellhole we've ever seen. It's who Elmo is.

    @Popehat Fortunately, the First Amendment also gives everyone else the right to point out when someone’s being a hypocritical twit by doing so.

    @Popehat My favorite part of this whole saga was all the Musk bros coming out of the woodworks to say he had nothing to do with it and that Chad was definitely lying about not being notified of what rules he violated.

    @Popehat I pretty much assumed that "can be a bit much" was a requirement for you to take a client.

    @Popehat IIRC you had him blocked before he paid you an AFD.

    @Popehat Remember, if you are a Republican..... on your site, the First Amendment gives you free speech and free association rights to ban whomever you want for whatever petty reasons you want. - Remember, if you are a Democrat..... on your site, the First Amendment gives you free speech and free association rights to ban whomever you want for whatever petty reasons you want, BUT that makes you ANTI-FREE SPEECH - This is the hypocrisy of the Right.

    @Popehat Musk says his politics are “right in the middle”. Right in the middle of a Nazi rally.

    @Popehat I think most of the people who call out elan for things like this are pointing to his massive raging hypocrisy more than it actually being a first amendment issue. He likes to conflate freedom of speech in a governmental sense with everywhere and then behave otherwise
