That whole post is essentially everyone taking it seriously are admitting to being worthless little weeby shits. It is so glorious when they put themselves like that!
Until pinging is back, fuck ALL admins. Due to reddits obese admins prob leaning left, I'm just going to vote Republican for the first time in my life.
Until this travesty of justice is fixed and pinging is back, I will convince everyone I know to vote red.
The reason it's a water pistol on all clients is because Apple made a big deal about it, but Microsoft had it displaying as a 1960's style space lazer gun since at least Windows 8.
Although a number of industry associations โ such as the US Chamber of Commerce โ spent more, Google is the largest corporate entity on the list, reflecting both its enormous influence, it's bottomless pockets, and the tech industry's efforts to push back on a growing consensus that the internet is in need of greater regulation.
I know most Trump supporters didn't make it past middle school because you were sent to the coal mines or just decided to start your fent addiction early, but generally you're supposed to link the source of the text you're quoting.
Ironically, thanks to efforts to make the internet "safe" for the wammens, I think people are starting to get a little concerned that just a handful of companies control the vast majority of internet content and traffic.
Right, so it's not censorship, it just hides any totally not censored tweets from the search of the 99.9% of users who never bother changing any defaults.
If you ignore the fact that the search ignores them and the non-censorship is for completely bogus reasons to begin with it's perfectly fine I suppose.
Just like how the government wouldn't be censoring books if they confiscated all the books but you could go read them at any time by visiting the happy time reading vault in D.C.
I'm illustrating the ridiculousness of your stance that because something is still available it is not censorship. I'd wager putting a single button between people and content lowers views by at least half.
It's a fine line between having different opinions, being aggressively and abusively vocal about them and calling for violence to shut people down.
While mods and admins have a tough time cruiseing through those lines, it becomes very easy to play jump rope with them if you have other motivations.
Reddit creates echo chambers if mods intervene too much or too little. Or it creates a lot of controversial chaos if it is moderated relatively openly.
Twitter is a little better in that sense. You don't have mods to blame there. But, they have their own problems.
In our neutral quest for total transparency, we at Twitter have now decided to publish the exact algorithm we have used for years on social media board /r/drama. The algorithm took years for our affirmative action engineers to develop and represents the cutting edge of computer science. Here it is:
+10 ban points if you annoy a celebrity
+10 ban points if enough woke twitter leftists spam the report button on multiple of your tweets.
+10 ban points if you say Shaun King is white.
-30 ban points if you are an A-list celebrity
-20 ban points if you are a B-list celebrity
-10 ban points if you at least have enough Klout to whip up a mob about "twitter discrimination"
Results:
If you got 10 or more ban points, you are banned

Eh, the knives are clearly out for the libertarians, especially when they get a bit too vocal about questioning social justice dogma. The James Damore story illustrates that.
Yeah, as long as a fascist can call for mass violence in their bio and say shit like "I'll bury you under my farm", but I get permabanned for replying with a joke about cops will shoot their dogs, twitter explicitly endorses nazi viewpoints and hardly tolerates leftist ones.
I wonder why there aren't any right leaning tech powerhouses you guys... Like Twitter is obviously racist towards white Republicans but why hasn't a new Twitter or new Facebook popped up based in Arkansas or West Virginia or something? Then we can truly be free
Please one of the bigly geniuses on the right create a social media platform!! Why is all the technology on the lefts side!?!? Reeeeeee
I wonder why there aren't any right leaning tech powerhouses you guys...
Kinda hard to be a technology innovator when you think that the universe is 6,000 and everything scientists say is part of a conspiracy by nefarious powers to hide the real truth.
I wonder why there aren't any right leaning tech powerhouses you guys... Like Twitter is obviously racist towards white Republicans but why hasn't a new Twitter or new Facebook popped up based in Arkansas or West Virginia or something?
Isn't this gab.ai?
The same service that Microsoft is threatening the hosting of for not deleting anti-Semitic speech or something? Remember when Cloudflare removed anti-DDOS protection from Stormfront because "fuck nazis"?
The technological hurdles to just making a right-wing equivalent to whatever platform are not trivial. But the main consideration is that even if you aren't no-platformed by whoever provides your infrastructure there generally the demand isn't there to generate anything but a super-cancerous userbase; ie. Voat.

1 sevgee 2018-08-19
It's a revolver as far as I can see. Blame your cuck country, whichever that is.

It's a client issue, not a government censorship one.

They're just not smart people.
1 die_rattin 2018-08-19
Why is a Laura Ingraham tweet flagged as sensitive content? Sheโs a conservatard who mostly just reposts news articles
Protip: sheโs not doing it herself, and yes you can troll people by mass-reporting shit with โcontains a sensitive image.โ
1 siempreloco31 2018-08-19
Then it's not censorship from twitter.
1 I_DRINK_TO_FORGET 2018-08-19
Uh, its being censored by twitter when its tagged as 'sensitive content' you fucking retard.
1 siempreloco31 2018-08-19
And you can see it if you want by clicking a button.
1 I_DRINK_TO_FORGET 2018-08-19
1 siempreloco31 2018-08-19
No it's not, you can see it at any time. I'm not sure why conservatives need to invent things for their victim complex.
1 I_DRINK_TO_FORGET 2018-08-19
Not sure how you think censoring things is not censorship. Was it the public education system?
1 siempreloco31 2018-08-19
Click button > see tweet. Are you always this mad at false postives?
1 I_DRINK_TO_FORGET 2018-08-19
Id ask if you were born with brain damage or incurred it later in life but its really more of a question for your caretaker.
1 siempreloco31 2018-08-19
Why are you so angry at a button? Just click it to see tweets. Why do you have this victim complex?
1 FearlessEmotion 2018-08-19
Herp derp how did a picture of Trump shaking hands with black leadership for urban development get flagged as "sensitive material" idiot?
Their leftard mods on twitter abuse the system to censor anything that goes against their regime.
1 siempreloco31 2018-08-19
ew
It's an algorithm.
1 FearlessEmotion 2018-08-19
How'd an algorithm decide a PICTURE is sensitive content?
1 siempreloco31 2018-08-19
Someone reported it. Do you honestly think there are numerous people moderating 500 million tweets a day?
1 FearlessEmotion 2018-08-19
Why doesn't that happen to anti-Trump posts?
1 siempreloco31 2018-08-19
It does
1 thetinguy 2018-08-19
obviously it doesn't. the only one you can trust is alex jones. buy some of his gay frogs supplements.
1 nanonan 2018-08-19
So they censored it automatically but somehow they didn't censor it?
1 siempreloco31 2018-08-19
If you choose to use a setting that twitter gives you, who is doing the censoring?
1 nanonan 2018-08-19
Right, so it's not censorship, it just hides any totally not censored tweets from the search of the 99.9% of users who never bother changing any defaults.
1 siempreloco31 2018-08-19
It's not censorship if you can view the tweet at any point, yes. Hard concept to understand.
1 nanonan 2018-08-19
If you ignore the fact that the search ignores them and the non-censorship is for completely bogus reasons to begin with it's perfectly fine I suppose.
1 siempreloco31 2018-08-19
Literally click a button and find the tweet. Your victim complex blinds you to the fact that twitter alg sometimes gets false positives.
1 Patyrn 2018-08-19
Just like how the government wouldn't be censoring books if they confiscated all the books but you could go read them at any time by visiting the happy time reading vault in D.C.
