      His idea of free speech is child porn, racism, and pro nazi talking points. When it comes to the latter things you have the freedom to talk about these things without censorship from the government, but you also have the freedom to suffer the consequences from the public and fellow citizens, such as being criticized and told to shut the fuck up.

    I couldn’t live with myself if I was paying for Twitter. Those folks literally funded the largest and most pervasive child porn operation to ever exist.

      Zack had the blue tick way before it was paid feature. I’m 99% sure he doesn’t pay a penny for it

      Should delete account on the Nazi platform though

          Some. It was a “privilege” kindly donated to the peasants of some renown.

            That kind of gives me an idea

            What if to get a verified badge, it’s multiple users paying for it for you to have. Like fans and stuff. This has some faults of course, but I’m sure the base idea could be worked with one way or another.

            Side note: Why are people still using Xitter?? 😭

              That would be similar to the “web of trust” approach where users vouch for each other, and you can determine how much you trust someone, or at least their account, based on how many others vouch for them, and much you trust those users.

      I have only seen a handful of YouTube shorts with this man and I respect his opinion orders of magnitude more than I do Musk’s.

      • His YouTube channel is all about right to repair and he uses most of his YouTube income for manufacturing affordable handicapped mobility tools called “not a wheelchair”. He also donates another large portion to libraries and water supplies in Africa.

        He seems like a very decent dude based on what he shows online

    Posting on a platform; directly supports that platform. People who feel this way (I’m one of them); should really leave these platforms altogether
