Comment on Some things I read about wolfballs today, and thoughts on the platform
iamtanmay@wolfballs.com 2 years agoI have a feeling, Wolfballs will get a lot more users after Musk takes over Twatter. A lot of people will look for a Reddit alternative, and we can surely find tons of moderates on Twatter after Musk lifts all the censorship

I'm getting a little bit worried about twitter listening to his interviews. I think he may just be playing both sides.
He said today, banning trump was morally wrong but also implied a temp ban may have been warranted.
Its hard to say what the future will bring. I think its a good idea for us to stay up for when we may be most needed.

His calculus is what will make max $, as expected from world's most successful capitalist. His quote inexactly: "Make 80% of people happy, make 10% of extremes on both sides equally unhappy"
This is what a businessman with common sense would do, not a free speech idealist. If he lets extremists rant, they will turn off most people in the middle. Because of this, he would likely allow Trump, because he was great for engagement and bringing huge traffic to Twitter.
Gab will be Free speech absolutist. Twitter will serve masses as transparent, but restrictive platform.
