free speech is when you kick out all the journalists that are slightly more left leaning than you and bring back racists, sexists, fascists, and human traffickers

MODERATORS
Yes, Musk recently intervened personally to unban a guy who posted CSAM that remained up for a week and got millions ofn vews . That must be the type of 'free speech' OP is referring to.
Do real examples of kick out journalists
I would have done the same ahah
yeah just completely dismiss the other part it isn't important at all
Why can't I hit the down vote button more than once?
What do you mean with "anonymous login"? If you need to create an account, then it's not anonymous.
Privacy-wise the better option would be to make Twitter/𝕏 accessible while logged out.
hey it's a troll telling people how to troll.. awesome dude.. you keep it up. we appreciate your enthusiasm, as you can see..
Are you being down voted for simply having mentioned EM? Because the ability to create anonymous accounts sounds like good news, there are still a lot of discussions happening on Twitter/X from what I see.
Also, if it's only for lurking, it's possible to use twitter/x without account at all and no tracking, by using an alternative front end such as https://nitter.net or any other instance.
You can make accounts with temporary emails through VPN on any website. This isn't something unique to, or even new to Twitter.
It's not true several years ago was not possible without phone number verification
If it did, it didn't enforce uniqueness (I know this because I've had multiple accounts and only one phone), so you could just as easily use a temporary phone number.
Did you use a privacy friendly phone number? Many services like OpenAI's chatGPT will not allowing registering with a phone number which is not from a known network provider, quite invasive.
Yeah it's a very good thing. Years ago I remember that it wasn't possible and the phone number verification was mandatory at some point.
Phone numbers, credit cards, photo ID... There are various extra verifications some sites (try to) do. Not having them is not anonymity.
Ugh "free speech" IE you can debate random trans people just trying to live their lives. Twitter always had some level of free speech. Neat though that anonymous login kinda works!
because spreading bullshit from anonymous accounts where you cannot even consider the source is somehow better
As you can tell from the responses, your statements do not cofirm to approved way of thinking from the good people on here who accept anybody who fully agress with them without questioning their dogma. On Lemmy and Mastodon, the attitude is "You can believe exactly the same like them in everything and support everything they say, or you can be an evil cesspool that deserves to be punched or killed".
That's why Mastodon nd Lemmy will forever remain useless nothings compared to the big names and are overflowing on the federated platforms with people who are incapable of spending time with people who can't agree with them on a specific topic, so it's easier for them to always be alone and live their life looking at a screen where nobody will challenge them to explain their rational and merhod for thinking the wsy they do instead of being invited over to someone's house and be with real people and not a screen.
You can down vote me now.
I see a lot of projection coming from this Lemmy user.
Yep, calling for people's deaths is definitely a thing that is happening to a meaningful degree here; very true!
Personally, I started disliking Elon when he randomly accused that diver that made him look bad of being a pedophile. I hope that's a rational enough reason to dislike someone for you, but if you need more, I can gladly provide them - and I won't even insinuate that you deserve to be murdered!
Seems like a good opportunity to tell you all how amazing the 'community added context under this tweet' feature is
