It’s like complaining about the injustice of moderation on truth social

It's not. Because despite the Nazis returning to Twitter after Elon bought it it is still the website used by journalist and political commentators to get their message to the most eyes. Should it be? No. But that doesn't make it any less true.

You post on Truth social if you're a MAGA nut. Twitter is still filled with the most people to reach out to and will be for the foreseeable future.

It's the very reason a platform like that should not be privately owned. Hoping "the market" somehow removes its monopoly on user capture and scale is silly. And blaming people that still use it to reach the most people is even more silly. You meet the people where they are at.

You don't put your poster in a clean hotel most people won't see. You post it the dirty public square. That public square is owned by a Nazi capitalist though. So pointing that out and complaining about it is more than reasonable.

I understand and concede your points.

There is a But. But there is no remedy or action to be taken for misadventures on that platform, however important they may be.

I feel it’s like watching a car accident, nothing can be done.
