BPR:
As leftists continue their meltdown over Elon Musk taking control of Twitter and restoring free speech, a number of them have jumped ship moving over to Mastodon, which evidently believes in limiting free speech and “democratizing” social media.
The platform has been around since 2016. Mastodon is a decentralized microblogging site that reportedly saw 120,000 new users in the four days after Musk took the helm at Twitter. It has somewhere around 4.5 million users, according to Time. It now has 655,000 active users each month.
German-born founder Eugen Rochko, 29, is making a home for those who want speech controlled. He started the platform because he “was dissatisfied with the state and direction of Twitter,” according to Mastodon’s website.
“I specifically disagree with his stance on free speech, because I think that it depends on your interpretation of what free speech means. If you allow the most intolerant voices to be as loud as they want to, you’re going to shut down voices of different opinions as well. So allowing free speech by just allowing all speech is not actually leading to free speech, it just leads to a cesspit of hate,” Rochko told Time magazine in an interview, referring to Musk.

Enjoy hating amongst yourselves. Not a good enough sales pitch for me to play.
There are already exclusions on what constitutes free speech.
Perjury under oath
Slander / libel
Incitement to violence / direct threats of violence

I just can’t comprehend how stupid libtards are to not realize they hate their own ideologies.
“Mastodon”, an ancient, fossilized relic.
Fits.
It’s about freedom, numbskulls; something you haven’t bought or sold yet.
Liberals live in their own world that I don’t want to be a part of.
So far as I can tell Elon is handling things on a pretty fair basis… which irks the hell outta Liberals.
The other day I asked Elon: “Are you free?”
He said, “No, but I am reasonable”
Fuc* all social media and the horse they rode in on. I can’t get banned form anything except IOTW on occasion. (probably not on purpose)
@Carlos,
Beyond all that, we’re talking big, hairy, massive, beasts! Basically furry elephants.
Appropriate self-identification.
The left is The Borg and like being told what the hive mind should think by the Borg queen (or king)
Dumb. What conservative would join. It’s going to be one big sound chamber oozing of Libtard Progressive Social Justice Warrior ideology with no one to argue with. I predict a very high suicide rate. But hey, have fun.
Social media for Non Playing Characters.
masterbaters will end up in the trash heap just like air america radio
Quote from the article:
“ So allowing free speech by just allowing all speech is not actually leading to free speech”
Wow.
This is fantastic. They’ll eventually be at each others throats trying to outdo each other on wokeness and virtue signaling. Tens of thousands of “Karen’s” will all be tattling on one another. The meltdown is going to be awesome and it might not take long.
^^^^^^^ Eventually they’ll decide the only way to save the planet is to all kill themselves. Not good for business.
I think Mastodon is a great idea. Let all the progtards go there, and leave the adults alone to have discussions of the issues, without the tantrums and drama.
No, they want to still be on Twitter and controlling conservative thought. As if they actually were. So they will be upset regardless.
The next thing you know, Trump will join it and make it go all Chicxulub on the idiots.
Brad – Libs killing themselves not good for business?
Wait-A-Holdit… just turn it into a Pay Per View event!
That’ll have ratings out the wazoo!!
Naming it after something extinct.
Priceless.
Echooooo…. Chamberrrrr ….
TRF
I dunno man. Euthanizing Libtards gotta be pretty close to pouring salt on slugs. I’ll include Antifa in that as well.
It’s DAMN hard NOT to promote ‘civil-war’ when you are bombarded with tyrannical threats of the loss of your personal freedom.
Man, Magaman or ultraMAGAman,
That’s one spicey icon.
Is that a Claudia Special Critter Creation.
Taste-y
My BFF’s TDS Jan6 tweeting BIL said he’s leaving Twitter. Yet, he’s still on Twitter yammering on with a link to his post on his new Elon free social media site.
It’s BrokeTweet-he can’t quit the bird.
MagaManPower – ‘Ultra-MEGA-MAGA-Man-Power’
(Say it fast, five times.)
As they always used to say, popular speech doesn’t need protection.
But can I tell Brad to go fuck himself?
UrMama
Do it. Show your resolve. Save the planet.
The idea is actually very funny – kind of like a circular firing squad. What sick fucks.
“Your home feed should be filled with what matters to you most, not what a corporation thinks you should see.”
^That is hysterical – this is what they have on their home page. How selective do you have to be to not see the ludicrous nature of that statement coming from them?
Screw Tapes by CS Lewis comes to mind.
Pop corn anyone?
Sippin’ Coffee;
Your ignorance of paleontology is incredible.
Maybe STFU until you know what you’re talking about.
