I'm not a Trump fan by any means. But when it comes to combating reckless censorship and fighting for free speech, especially in social media, I approve of what he is doing.

all too often social media sites exercise political favoritism by censoring outspoken members of one side or the other. In my mind social media should be seen as a public utility and as such its users should have protections to freedom of speech that you arent usually guaranteed in a private space.

This also may mean that a lot of fediverse instances that have servers in America might need to start second guessing their draconian censorship policies, and that would be a happy change.

@freemo On an International level (unable to meaningfully comment on internal performance) I think Trump is doing a good job. Its not perfect, but its much better than his predecessors.

@xyfdi He isnt dooing too bad internationally I agree... his major fuckups are

1) everytime he opens his mouth something harmful or stupid comes out 2) he has raped the environment.
