Is twitter truly free speech, no but it has improved since Elon took over. I do not think twitter will every be as free speech as it was several years go.
More people of all kinds need to get on Nostr to keep it from being an echo chamber.
And free speech means you will have to deal with “mean words”, just have a thick skin and ignore it. I been getting lots of flack the past few days here on Lemmy and I just drop it and move on. I got no time to let someones comment take root in my head.
There is a difference between mean words and slurs. If you’re not from a protected group, you wouldn’t understand unless you want to. The question is whether empathy is something apply above theoretical concepts. Don’t get me wrong, I’m British and swear like a sailor, and hate when things have swear filters on, but there is a massive difference.
I personally have no idea what is going on on Twitter. I never really used it much as I think condensing thoughts down to a limited set of characters is just a crap design. This is supported by the fact by most users forcing themselves to use threads to work around such a pointless and arbitrary limitation.
