    I think his idea was to reduce visibility of harmful content (like exclude it from the algorithm, or maybe just penalize it heavily) without fully banning it.

    I suppose downvotes are also a solution (up to a point - doesn’t work unless there is a strong enough consensus).

    But even if these don’t work it doesn’t mean censorship is the only solution. Just because we don’t have a good idea doesn’t mean nobody will.

    Radication and disinformation are serious problems and some censorship is better than nothing - but still seems like there has to be a better way.

      He’s got a funny way of accomplishing that goal. So funny that it looks like his goal is exactly the opposite. GENIUS!

      You can’t coherently convey whatever you think Elon was on about because, whatever he was on about, was complete bullshit designed to make him look smart to the people dumb enough to buy it.
