People Twitter

I didn't say I wanted capitalism and American neoliberals, I said I wanted moderation or I won't put my identity and work and face next to people who want me dead. The app you're on, the community you're posting this comment in have moderation. Do you think the mods who receive reports about this thread are the Saudi government?

Cancel culture isn't real, grow up. The people who made the term up want you to demand that all conversations be treated equally, that all viewpoints should be able to shout down all other viewpoints until the internet is full of trash and we're all completely isolated. That's how fascism works: piss and shit into the discourse until nobody wants it any more. That is why X is becoming trash: because the person who owns it made it his first priority to start shitting into every progressive conversation until none of them wanted to be there any more. Taking away the ability to block and deplatform people SUPPRESSES minority voices, because that environment only rewards whoever shouts the loudest, and if you have a majority on the platform, you are shouting the loudest.

Everywhere is "beholden" to some person or organization that made the place and controls it. The stream directory of this app is already beholden to the people who put it up; their lip-service code of conduct suggests they don't want to platform nazis. The only thing I'm complaining about is that they aren't taking any concrete steps to ensure they're kept out.
