If only it was that simple to ignore bigoted pricks in real life.You don't even have to ignore Twitter. Just unfollow, block or mute anybody you want.I think the person who can't stop talking about trans issues is suggesting you could simply ignore Twitter if it offends you.

In my opinion, there is a lot of just about everything on Twitter. Any claims of it being far too this and far too that are overblown. It's like saying the internet is left or right leaning. I got banned for using the word negro on Twitter. I can claim the leftists Twitter staff banned me for using the word to describe a member of a dark-skinned group or the rightist banned me for being one. It's a toss up.
Totally my opinion.
Twitter is noise. It incentivized blurts and blurts aren't really capable of projecting much useful content. YouTube has a lot of noise, but because it is videos, it can contain something useful. Twitter's design almost precludes it from much usefulness at all. The problem becomes, its lack of depth also is attractive to people who don't like to actually read things or watch a decent length video on something complicated. They want something immediate and fulfilling. And from there, you get Noise. Some people might like some of the noise, but it is nothing but noise.
The key benefit of twitter is speed. You get the news there first, and usually false news also gets debunked very fast.

Metaphor: You can just put those people on ignore.
Person A: I was making a qualitative claim.
Metaphor: You can still put them on ignore.
Person A: I'm saying there are more racist posts on Twitter now since Musk purchased it.
Metaphor: You can still ignore those posters.
Problems go away as long as you ignore them.
The blocking is a big problem for me. The people that want to force the platforms to be their megaphones use the block function and every other tool in the box to make sure that debunkers are silenced. The block, file bogus complaints against the "harrassers", etc... Youtube, Twitter, etc... always side with the grifter right up until the point when the grift risks exposing them to some sort of legal peril. Doesn't matter if it is Alex Jones, Dutchsinse, Mike Adams, Joe Mercola, Trump, or anyone else. If they are getting more clicks than the debunkers then the platform helps them stifle the debunkers. Only when the platform gets afraid of getting sucked into a defamation lawsuit or some regulatory threat that they do anything.If only it was that simple to ignore bigoted pricks in real life.You don't even have to ignore Twitter.

What? A "true free speech zone"? What are you talking about? Are you suggesting that without the ability to force an audience to listen, nobody has free speech?The blocking is a big problem for me.

I'd like to see Twitter thrown wide open with zero controls. Let it be a true free speech zone where you can't block anybody. That's what the right wingers want isn't it? Let them exist on their without the ability to block people and such.
Well I suppose when you own Twitter you can make that policy. And I'm sure everyone will love it
Of course they can.
Pure comedy genius.
It works for Metaphors posts, mostly. If the rest of you would do the same, it would probably go away.Person A: Twitter is becoming quite crappy.You don't even have to ignore Twitter.

Sadly, I cannot do that.
