Right!? There are so many issues with his rant, I won't bother detailing them. #triggered

Sorry, did I trigger you? I find it hilarious what some people will do to try and wind up others.

I'm not wound up,just disappointed in you and you're obviously triggered,or such ridiculous statements wouldn't have been made.Of course,I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, because there are other reasons make such ignorant statements.

Depends on your definition of triggered. I think that reacting to the craziness of the world is a natural thing. You throw out some remarks intended to an

We agree that the world is crazy for sure, but why add to it if you're criticizing it? Seems a bit hypocritical.No, not seems, is...

My comment got truncated. Shouldn't anyone be able to throw out opinions? Isn't that free speech? I fail to see the hypocrisy in what I said. I actually hold back on my opinions. I'm not really looking for fights.

You most certainly have a right to your opinions, but when you share them in a public space, expect them to be addressed by others.

Also, your last reply was not only truncated,but I got a notif for one before that, which I can't find. Did you delete one? Failing to see the hypocrisy says volumes.

I guess I should note that I fall into neither the right nor left categories. I share views from both sides and many neither share.

I only asked a question. Who decides?

Extremist is a loaded word and perhaps not the ideal choice for my thread, but there are some nasty people online. I could agree that Greta Thunberg is an extremist, but I agree with her principles.

The most interesting part is naming others as extremists in a negative light, while showing clear signs of extremism yourself. It's quite typical really.

I see what u mean. No disrespect to steevc but it does come on very MSM pro narrative. That’s why I followed up asking about his thoughts on judge and jury who decide. It seems though he is coming from an emotional standpoint of being pro censorship. Always sad seeing that here on Hive. But Steevc is entitled to his opinion as we are to ours. It’s just odd to me personally 🤷‍♂️

Again, I agree on all points.

Steevc is an active and respected account here. I don’t even remember what but I think we had a strong disagreement on something years ago. It is what it is. I think we just have totally different opinion and will never agree on this topic. But he isn’t trolling us. He’s just of different opinion.

Oh I know. We've had a few of these exchanges

I agree and I think he tried to project being triggered onto me, because I tagged my first reply #triggered

I get his point. By leaving out who’s judge and jury I also find if troublesome.

Musk said he's a free speech absolutist, but I guarantee he will have to block some accounts or face legal action. If he sacked the moderation teams then he has some challenges.

Yes if an account breaks the law oit obviously will be blocked.
Before Elon took over I was banned for questioning the vaccine in 2021. Big difference in breaking law and critiquing big Pharma…. I was brought back post Elon. I don’t use twitter but I was unsuspended shortly after he returned.

That's up to the company and local laws. He allowed back some who were banned before.

Censorship is anti everything freedom stands for. All censorship does is make “Extreamism” worse by pushing it into the shadows. Not to mention the CIA runs troll farms and is purposely trying to encourage violence. I would agree with you on violent content but I think we can all agree what the MSM calls extreamist is often just opinions they end up being true that they don’t like. Example in 2021 being anti vaccine mandates was called extremist, it certainly was not. Maybe you mean literally calls to violence? But when u simply say “Extremist Content” it sounds like what the mainstream media means by it which is often being critical of government narratives like vaccine mandates or the real reasons our government is pushing for extending a war in Europe, or for asking why our own government made it harder to get medications that were effective at treating covid. Theee ideas I certainly would say are important and true. Not extremist. I think the reason you may take certain replies as “Triggered” or passionate is because you are using the same terms the media and gov use to censor honest true statements they don’t like. I know in my case I just honestly wanted to know what u meant and who you thought should be judge and jury. Not at all upset or triggered myself. Just know these terms can be used very differently by individuals and I washers to know what you meant.

Censorship/freedom is not a simple line in the dirt. Do you allow death/rape threats, child porn etc? Hive breaks the mould and will have issues with it.

It's hard to be nuanced in a few lines.
