It was pretty obvious that ‘free speech’ on Twitter/X was never going to be tolerated by Musk and his CEO Yaccarino. But now we know for sure. They’ve come right out and said it. ‘Lawful but awful’ to be throttled. ‘Free speech, not free reach’. Oh please! Our friendly feline says “X marks the spot where twitter began once more to die”. Just get it over and done with for God’s sake! Zombie X slouching (more like oozing) towards Bethlehem to be born is just
And for the sake of all that is holy, GET OFF freaking Google. Why one would feed the crocodile that is only planning to eat you later that same afternoon is beyond me. Brave.com, browser and search engine, Presearch, Swisscows, Freespoke all good search engines. And download qortal.com, a peer to peer, web3.0 application that can never be censored.
Those platforms are dens of censorship too—if it’s online, it’s an exercise in censorship. Any site promoting itself as some haven of free speech (e.g. UnHerd, ConservativeWoman, Gab, etc.) is lying. And when it isn’t the platform censoring, it’s the Little Hitler users deleting comments and running behind their blocks.
It’s the enticing exercise of power, so many relishing exercising power over others. Likely that was one of the reasons there was so little pushback against the shredding of liberty that Covid afforded: too many getting off on ordering people about (don’t stand so close, follow the arrows, wear a mask, etc. etc.). However pitiful an exercise of power censoring and blocking might be, they’ll not surrender it easily.
As for qortal and similar, the problem with blockchain platforms is, while any information you post can’t be censored, *you* can’t later remove it. What you post, you lose control of. It equates to freedom as much as pishing against a wall.
For too many the answer to failure is only to demand more failure. E.g. democracy has problems—then we need more democracy! We need an elected second chamber (ignore that virtually every democracy in the world has an elected second chamber and it doesn’t prevent every one engaging in societal suicide), a written constitution (ditto), a bill of rights (plenty bills of rights out there, helped not even once), proportional representation (ditto), extra assemblies, for Scotland, for England, London, Yorkshire (what was the definition of insanity again?).
It’s democracy itself that is the problem. Giving the mob a voice is the problem. It can’t be fixed, just ended.
So with the internet, the greatest ever, if not the ultimate, exercise in democracy: it gives everyone a voice, no matter how ignorant, how malicious, how mindnumbingly retardedly f***ing stupid. ‘Let a hundred flowers blossom’ sounds nice but all you get is a million weeds choking the flowers out of existence. It’s like free speech at a football match: you’re having an erudite discussion while 50,000 people either side of you are chanting, ‘You’re s*** and you know you are,’ at each other, while the few running the show rake in the money and don’t even care who wins the match.
The internet is cancer: the worst idea in human history—worst period idea period ever period; ultimately more destructive than the atomic and hydrogen bombs. It fosters narcissism and groupthink, allows lunatics all over the world to connect and feed each other’s lunacies, and amplifies the voices of those who should have none. Its only remaining value is to provide a constant stream of evidence why the concepts of ‘democracy’ and ‘equality’ are the dumbest f***ing ideas to have ever been conceived.
Like democracy, it can’t be fixed. And anything that makes the internet more useless and unusable is to be welcomed. People censoring or running behind paywalls? Great, more sites and users I don’t have to waste time with. Platforms that censor, users who block and delete only identify themselves as tossers who should never have had attention paid to them in the first place, and all play their part in rendering the internet u/s.
Aren't all these browsers linked to google!?. I tried to start a brand new cell phone and I couldn't do it with out providing my email and phone number witch led me directly to my previous account. Everything is under their control.
So, go to Brighteon. Bitchute. Maybe Rumble.

Pray the internet dies before Civilisation does.
