Having twitter's opinion added to every post that they don't like is not a "feature".


If they added an opinion. Election fraud isn't a problem in the United States outside the fantasies of conspiracy theorist. They are moving to delegitimize an election he might lose.

If trump loses this election is a very real chance he might try to stay in office despite of it.

4chan was the cure to Reddit was the cure to Twitter was the cure to Facebook was the cure to Myspace.

No matter which way you go with it, the moment they start censoring speech, they're no longer a platform, and are now a publisher, and should be regulated like one.

I'm not pushing for them to be regulated even. I'm pushing for them to be fined right into bankruptcy if they cannot hold to the standard that grants them immunity from responsibility for what goes on on their platform. :)


post the legal statutes defining and differentiating "platform" and "publisher", please.

not a 5 paragraph rant, a link to a legal federal statute.

I just feel like the military would just have one conversation with Trump and tell him they serve the people of the United States and his time is up.

The GHOT fact check...

1. Let's see...it's the Dems with all the illegal aliens in sanctuary cities.
2. It's the Dems who have been trying ANYthing they could think of, for four years, to unseat Trump.
3. It's the Dems who want no ID, mail in ballots for the 2020 elections.



So... 1+2+3 = The Dems want to CHEAT, in the 2020 elections. <---- NOT rocket science.




Still not rocket science.



/e Or... why DON'T the Republicans want no ID, mail in ballots?

This has to be the dumbest argument I've seen you make, and thats a hard one to beat


Usual snark with no substance.

If you aren't smart enough to answer a simple question maybe you shouldn't engage?

i know im beating a dead horse here with reddit but its far more future proof and imo already too big for twitter to bother buying, mainly because its adjacent and not a competitor. forum style peer regulated communication is far better than social media with AI and biased regulation. let Grandma post her gardening pics in /r/gardening and her terrible facebook memes in /r/conservative, insulate ideas where people either agree or at worst are seeking out disagreement. when we mash ideas together based on nothing but common people we all know or schools we attend or w/e its a mess. i dont need or want to know my childhood friend's mom's opinions on Obama. no one does.


The problem with the reddit model is that it lends itself very well to echo-chambers. If all social media were like reddit, there would be no more common ground at all after a couple of years.
On top of that, reddit has already engaged in deplatforming and censorship efforts against conservatives. The reddit leadership is just as lefty and self-righteous as the twitter crew.

Maybe Trump's tactic is to scream preemptively on vote by mail because he knows some problems (small ones, like normal elections) will occurs.
This narrative will help him to pretend that "elections are not valid", allowing to justify the establishment of a far right dictatorship.

Or... maybe Trump just wants a fair election.

lol at the idea that twitter does anything different to find common ground. it has reduced people's ideas of communication and debate to buzzwords and cancel culture.

reddit has a diverse rainbow of communities. open-leftist, open-conservative, open-neutral (rare), closed-leftist, closed-conservative, closed-neutral, etc. they serve a myriad of purposes, and there's differentiation between upvotes and comment sections. some massively upvoted posts are still contentious in the comments.

facebook, twitter, etc are just exposing us to the stream of consciousness of people we're only tangentially connected to, that and elevates the ideas of people for no other reason than they act, or play sports, or are just a blogger with some niche following. its a terrible idea and does nothing to help gridlock and polarization. its just gas on the fire.
