Elon will learn that free speech = unmarketable Nazi 1488 posting and n-word spam that loses all your corporate advertisers and either censor as much or more than Twitter does now or sell it off to someone who will.
My prediction: Elon will take over Twitter, learn what free speech means, and decide he hates it, the way the ruqqus guys did

Oh for sure he's gonna learn the hard way. The rightards will turn on him once he starts cracking down, and it'll be hilarious as the infighting gets hot because Elon has no problem bullying people.

He already tweeted that twitter needs to be politically neutral and that means pissing off the far left and far right

He could bypass the problem by charging all clearly-addicted power users. Simple algorithms to determine who is most addicted, then cut them off.

It sounds like heβs banking on big corps feeling like they HAVE TO FIGHT BACK against Nazi free speech, and will simply charge them a fee to participate.

Tbf he has already said he doesnβt care about profitability so being unmarketable doesnβt seem to be an issue.

It is how you get rich. You donβt focus on the money, you focus on the vision. The money follows suit. People in it only for money take an early buyout offer and coast with a few million, they donβt keep risking it for years for a big payoff.

And then even when he did sell, it wasn't for the money, but for a principle (freedom of speech).

The difference is ruqqus was an alternative site so only naughty kids that can't behave and were permabanned switched. So it was literally just Reddit refuse moving there. This is all of the users of Twitter + the people that used to be on Twitter but we're banned. So theoretically this should be very similar to older Twitter.

Ehhh, I don't like to be an unfunny buzzkill, but I actually did think about it a lot. The thing with "unmarketable nazi shit" becomes a problem when you try to make
alternative to an existing giant. Because the only people who join are people kicked out from existing giants, a large proportion of whom are schizo nazis.
Reddit was unabashedly hyper
at first, and it was... well, not really good, but certainly better than what it is now. Twitter is faaaaaaaar too big to turn into anything similar to ruqqus just due to return of schizos. Especially considering that Trump's bootleg rightoid twitter clone and other mastodons already exist.
Basically, Tusk will be fine almost no matter how much he rolls back the censorship.

Plus, he's probably not sincere about "free speech" in the literal sense. He'll gin up a less checkmark-caste-y content policy and label it

Perhaps. My main point is that even if he'd go balls-to-the-wall, everything-that-is-not-clearly-illegal - it still wouldn't affect the feeds of 99% of people much. You need some serious preponderance of genuine lunatics for
to start fricking with experience of normies.

Couldn't he just roll out a more robust blocking system so people could just block people and words they don't want to see? Make like a safe mode or something that blocks out any controversial no no word

its important that everyone learn this lesson for themselves
also there is something to be said about the ghettoization effect, that is when you stuff a whole bunch of right-adjacent people together the most extreme viewpoint takes hold, much like a virus or something.
also also the reason we were not free speech is because it stopped being funny when unoriginal nazioids just started spamming JEWS ARE EVIL. since the purpose isn't to be funny on twitter, who knows what might happen

The difference is ruqqus was supposed to be a place for people to go to get away from censorship. So of course only people who were censored would go there. Everyone is already on twitter. And no one wants to lose their loudspeaker, so why would they leave?

Isn't this the whole point of twitter. The limit on words disallows any real meaningful explanations and a lack of proper communication unless you're this weebtard.
