For Musk free speech is code word for “things I agree with”

Elon is busy turning X back into an echo chamber, except the pendulum has swung to the other side. It’s a shame people find such solace in echo chambers – intellectualism does not progress if you only speak with people you agree with. Indeed, it narrows conversation and thought so much it just turns into a circle jerk.

Guess what? The real world is nasty and dirty and you are never going to agree with everyone. A preschool isn’t as safe a space as what Elon wants to (re)create.

I like the balance we’ve found on Lemmy. We can discuss some pretty conservative ideas, but there’s zero intellectual value to transphobia or any other hate speech. People shouldn’t be required to re-explain their right to exist every generation.
