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.
