A few tell me that Elon's social network has suspended "WholesomeOrenji". Supposedly for edgy #anime jokes, and for criticizing harassers. Or it could have been a really crappy moderation processes, likely involving algorithms.

When he said he would "err on the side of taking content down" (a using a weaksauce example), he really seems to have let himself go, hasn't he?

In general... No. Erring on the side of taking content down is not appropriate (particularly at scale and especially uncritically). It is far less appropriate than it already wasn't when someone goes absolutely crazy doing so for theatrics.

It is also far worse than even the previous #Twitter ever was, and it is not as if we ever sang praises to their high regard for free expression. So much for being a #FreeSpeech absolutist".

I don't have a particular opinion on how much funding should, or shouldn't go towards any particular function of a social network. Not behaving like a clown site though, should be a absolute bare minimum. Thank you.
