(AFAIK)

I think human history has been a good enough competition of ideas that has led to the best systems of government that we have come up with. Perhaps public distrust in the system is evident that there is something wrong with the system but we don't have a better way of finding an alternative until someone goes ahead and finds an alternative

Why destroy the house, when you can change the occupants?

Kinda thing.

I mean if you don't have censorship, how do you innovate around censorship @SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck

Or, regulate the occupants to do what you want.

>increase the amount of people in the house by distributing the price of rent evenly @Weez

Won’t twitter inevitably die off naturally once it has expunged itself of any kind of normal person leaving screeching radical regressives and journalists alone on the site?

Probably not

Depends, do you consider tumblr dead?

Twitter will stay around

As long as Tim "Antifa are bad" Pool likes to say

Why would you want to operate on a platform defined and dominated by absolute cancer?

I mean myspace is still around but I haven't heard of it in a while

@Weez if Twatter expunges itself of all normies, that will just help facebook a LOT

Because it has people on there.

It gets you coverage

Myspace is still around, right? @Weez

@Wild Dog yeah

I wasn't asking you trotsky

@SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck They won't though tbh

Love you as I might

It's around, but nobody uses it

@Weez so Facebook isn't the social-media of choice for normies?

I DON'T PLAY FAVORITES

Tumblr is trying to sell itself to keep itself alive. Yes I consider Tumblr dead. Haven’t seen anything but old old repost screencaps from the site in ages.

@SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck This is anecdotal, but I think Facebook usage is declining

There's more than anecdotal evidence for that

Doesn’t have to be dead dead/offline completely

@Weez in-general? No IIRC. In terms of say....Gen Z and Millennials, yes.

Yeah I could probably agree with that

Coincidentally the dumbest generations

<:smugon:512048583806025739>

@SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck I can't even imagine what society would be like without censorship and competition stamping monopolies. It's so sad.

@Wild Dog I'd be the true equality that Communism seeks

Hopefully all the marxists don’t follow us all here to discord if everything else becomes irrelevant. Or are they already here en mass?

We're just so used to "moderation", even here on a supposedly free speech loving discord

We can't seem to be free of it wherever you look on the web
