@freemo @taz he would have brought him back no matter what I think, but yeah, I agree with that

@freemo @taz that's possibly true, but again, so would any poll done by an individual on social media. So in that case, maybe delete the poll option entirely. Or polls in general, since they never really achieve an unbiased sampling, in one form or another.

Perhaps he should have done it from the admin twitter if there is one, that's followed by everyone. But if the results were the same, people would just say its cuz all the democrats left. Polls are dumb anyway. And mob rule shouldn't make ethical decisions.

@freemo @taz perhaps, not anymore or less than anyone else's poll. Most people are bubbled. Most people don't follow people they don't like, but most people that don't like elon follow him

@taz he put on truth social (screen caps) implying that he would but that Truth Social was vetter

@freemo @taz meh, not sure about that. His account is so big that its statistically relevant. 116 million last I knew. Remember, everyone that hates elon also follows him.

@taz omg ha. Whoops. My whole timeline is RTing it.

@freemo @taz they had a vote, 15 millionish responses. He won out. I actually don't agree with having a poll to decide right or wrong, but whatever.

@taz no need after his 1st tweet back. I guess he decided to get straight to it

@fourmajor the problem is the amount of due fferent domains. They should create one domain link for that purpose.

@fourmajor

If your beeing on a social network is dependent on one individual not being on it, who u can block and mute, you probably should just leave that network, as you are doing.

@freemo Actually, don't bother showng me, you have enough on your plate. Either way my position wouldn't change because of the even't leading to this. You know what's best for your situation, not me. @trinsec @khird

@freemo Do you have screenshots or evidence of these instances at least. So then I could be shown the need for such an action. I truthfully don't know of said incidents. Were the people who said them not banned? @trinsec @khird

@freemo

Again, I don't really have much problem with the words, it's the reasoning leading you to change them.

i.e Let's say a prominent instance, who has been around forever is accused by a smaller one of being Nazis. The smaller site spreads rumors to people and it spreads like wildfire. The smaller site can provide no proof, just says to people "you don't block them? They are Nazis". The other sites block the bigger site, even without any proof, just word of mouth. The instance owner of the large instance changes his ToC to say "We don't allow Nazis." The other smaller instance will say "see, they even changed their ToC, the Nazis are trying to hide it!". Nothing changes. The other instances don't unblock, and the biger instance looks like they were guilty of something by changing their ToC, and gaining nothing.

Again, it's just my view, and it doesn't mean shit. I am no one.

@freemo

True. But cave to a mob, and they will return with power 10 fold.

@trinsec @khird

@freemo

Those are all fair additions.
However, I personally reject the idea of making these changes. It's illogical. You are obviously doing it because of recent events. There is no logic in this because their was no wrongdoing to initiate these changes. You did nothing wrong. I personally feel like it would be breaking an ethical standard to make these kind of changes in response to recent events. It seems like an appeasement to a unethical mob. If you were to have made these changes organically, I would see no ethical dilemma.

That said, I am probably in the minority, or at least the vocal minority, and what I say or think doesn't really mean shit. This is your baby. Do what you feel is right.

@trinsec @khird

@Alaskanviking It counts as an A for effort.
