is there another twitter app out there that still works apart from the official app ?

      Didn’t he ban several journalists that reported on him banning Elonjet something he said he’d never do, amongst other things. That doesn’t fit in with free speech absolutism or free speech, so I am a little skeptical when he uses that term. You can only judge people by their past actions.

      I am not too familiar with Nostr. I think Jack Dorsey endorseyed it. Hopefully there is enough to counter balance the exploding heads. I am massively in favour of free speech, but I don’t like how that is often used as an excuse to freely useoffensives slurs.

          There is a difference between mean words and slurs. If you’re not from a protected group, you wouldn’t understand unless you want to. The question is whether empathy is something apply above theoretical concepts. Don’t get me wrong, I’m British and swear like a sailor, and hate when things have swear filters on, but there is a massive difference.

          I personally have no idea what is going on on Twitter. I never really used it much as I think condensing thoughts down to a limited set of characters is just a crap design. This is supported by the fact by most users forcing themselves to use threads to work around such a pointless and arbitrary limitation.
