What a shit show. “Free speech” lol

[Motown Bombers]

Just happened to catch this Tweet as the tweeter got banned. There's a purge happening.

[mtutiger]

Another one.

Purging all the dissent

[pfife]

Yep its a massacre.

Rupar and Matt Binder are two more I saw.  And Mastodon.

Post.news is nice, I just need more people to follow and for those folks to post more.  One thing I love about Twitter is that its constantly renewing.   I think  post will too soon.

Serious lack of sports on post.news as well.

So is his play to turn twitter into a RW echo chamber because those people are dumb enough to pay for access?  

[Edman85]

Well that's one way to keep you guys from amplifying right wing nuts by sharing Rupar's tweets...

Rupar sucks, but as far as I can tell, the banning spans way beyond him.

[pfife]

King Olbermann got banned.

[Tigerbomb13]

Another one in Micah Lee 

[pfife]

I'm going to post his truths here just for you

[pfife]

Keith Olbermann uses his twitter, among other things, to help rescue dogs that are about to be euthanized at kill shelters.  Elon Musk hates dogs

[mtutiger]

I'm sure Matt Taibbi will be covering this crime against free speech on the next "Twitter Files" soon enough lol

[Motown Bombers]

I kind of wonder if this is more of a preemptive strike for some bad news that is about to come?

Sports is an issue for sure... need the Tigers beat writers to look at other platforms lol

[Motown Bombers]

Guess I'll have to try out Post. I'll remain on Twitter until there is a viable sports alternative.

Obviously Musk can do what he wants. Not a free speech or first amendment issue. But in their world when people on the right got banned… well it’s certainly hypocritical. 

is this a crime or should congress get involved?  No.   But he’s making his site less attractive for visitors so now is that helping him?  I don’t see it

This one is pretty bad... Herman is about as straight a newsman as you will find on that hellsite
