Mike Masnick ✅@elonjet Heh. And as someone point out, while the ElonJet at Twitter was banned, the BezosJets account (run by the same guy) was allowed to remain. It's almost as if Elon's content moderation is perhaps less than principled.

I’ve realized that I am actually not that interesting of a person
By which I mean, I’m a very interesting person but most of the interesting topics are one of:
- a topic I can’t talk about
- a thing you probably don’t really care about
- life activities that are gravely inappropriate for everyday social conversation
I can only apologize.
(Troy doesn’t count here because he is a cat and cats are very clearly their own personalities)
I like this XKCD comic a lot. I used to be pretty speech absolutist (sorry), and this helped me to understand the counterargument.
The right of free speech doesn’t mean an unlimited freedom of consequences for that speech. Nor does it include the right, or the power, to force everybody else to listen to what you have to say. It means there won’t be any SWAT breaking in for what you say, but you also can’t stop people leaving, either.

Attached: 1 image I love this one about #FreeSpeech from https://xkcd.com/1357/ That.
seldoGitHub keeps quoting a "study" they did of how Copilot aids productivity in which they studied *45* people using the software. GitHub has 90+ million developers, so n=45 gives a margin of error of +/-15%. They claimed that 8% more people completed the task with copilot, meaning... nothing. It's inside the margin of error! Who approved this to go out the door.
Carl T. BergstromShout out to the pro-science folks here and on twitter who admonished me for leaving and told me (1) I was letting down the cause and (2) by leaving I was playing politics instead of doing science.
No. A bully runs that house, and I'm walking out the door. You have no right to tell anyone to stay with an abuser and put up with threats to their own safety.
Unless you've weathered three years of death threats for your public health advocacy, keep it to yourself.
