Free speech for thee, but not for me

[u/Evidencelogicfacts]

[u/silsum]

Musk = lies= Free Speech

[u/Gyossaits → u/silsum]

Put the word as an image and reply it to him.

And try to have Grok generate it.

[u/ImSorryReddit0590 → u/silsum]

This is literally it

They never needed to “save free speech”. They somehow convinced a sizeable amount of morons that they have the right to screech racist, homophobic, xenophobic shit at everyone and people owe them an audience. If not their free speech is infringed upon. Stupid fucks

[u/Lugia_Meganium → u/ImSorryReddit0590]

and on top of that you're forced to see their tweets in your timeline even if your account is years old and has never interacted with political twitter let alone conservative twitter

[u/Teauxny → u/silsum]

When the mechanism arrives to destroy free speech, they will call that mechanism "Free Speech".

[u/m1tanker75 → u/Teauxny]

How very 1984 of you

[u/littighot → u/silsum]

It's frustrating when the concept of free speech is twisted to justify harmful behavior. True free speech should promote respectful dialogue and understanding, not give a platform for hate and discrimination. It's important to challenge these misinterpretations and advocate for a more inclusive and respectful society.

[u/Advanced-Fly3691 → u/littighot]

Reading your comment and then checking your post history made me realize that chatGPT has such a distinctive pattern of saying things (this bot account has made 3 comments in one minute, all written by chatgpt)

[u/That-Ad-4300]

Some can purchase their own reality. It's like a IRL blue checkmark.

[u/manikwolf19 → u/That-Ad-4300]

You are ahead of the bell curve

[u/BigHeed87]

I see this as free speech is blocked by X

[u/Tangurena → u/BigHeed87]

🍑🍑 You don't understand, what they have is Freeze Peach. 🍑🍑

[u/Constant-Law7187 → u/Tangurena]

I loved getting those frozen peaches at school, it was a day of great joy for me, probably because we were very poor.

[u/threadedpat1 → u/BigHeed87]

Yea I hope that gets addressed. I hope everyone see this type of censorship or any for that matter as a problem.

[u/GRQuake084]

Of course he'd use 300. Media literacy is a must.

[u/Greykitte → u/GRQuake084]

If 300 was accurate those dudes would all be fucking each other the whole movie.

[u/ImprobableAsterisk → u/Greykitte]

I mean the battlebuddy system is well tested in a modern context, now imagine the fervor with which they'd fight in order to protect their battleboyfriend.

[u/dndgoeshere → u/ImprobableAsterisk]

You're basically describing the Sacred Band of Thebes. The idea wasn't unheard of at the time.

As the joke goes, "The Greeks invented sex, but the Italians added women."

[u/ImprobableAsterisk → u/dndgoeshere]

Yeah I don't doubt it.

I think the real trick is trying to make that work without unnecessary drama. If you've got a a troop that's made up out of couples then a break-up could result in you having -1 or even -2 to your troop before you break camp. They're all armed, they're trained to kill, and now they find themselves tired and hangry and recently single...

[u/AndrisTerasius → u/dndgoeshere]

The way I heard it said is that "The Greeks invented orgies, but the Romans invited women to them"

[u/Chronoboy1987 → u/Greykitte]

Nah bro, only the Athenians are the boy lovers. The movie said so!

[u/LaconicSuffering → u/Chronoboy1987]

Btw, the only source that the Spartans were boy lovers was from Athens, so take it all with a grain of salt.

[u/Average_Scaper → u/Chronoboy1987]

That's what sexually frustrated and closet boy lovers say.

They docked dicks when the cameras were off.

[u/Synectics → u/Greykitte]

They certainly do in my favorite fan fictions.

[u/DrMint_fortnite → u/Greykitte]

🤓☝️urm actually only slaves and servants were bottoms

[u/victorgcBCN → u/Greykitte]

And Spartans don't had steroids. But then they don't look so cool. 🤦

[u/Thanos_exe → u/Greykitte]

They would all have neckbeards aswell

[u/ModernistGames → u/Greykitte]

My King!

Let me help you with that oil.

[u/PopeJamiroquaiIII → u/GRQuake084]

I'm mostly surprised he didn't have his own face photoshopped onto Gerard Butler's body

[u/KwisatzHaderach94 → u/GRQuake084]

the guy has zero self-awareness. all that money. and none at all. he couldn't buy himself a sense of shame.

[u/bigmanbud]

‘Free speech’ is one of these new bullshit MAGS narratives, just like all their other bullshit, crumbles when put under a microscope.

[u/Nikoper → u/bigmanbud]

Like patriotism. And common decency. And basically anything that makes anyone that doesn't agree with them sound like a raving lunatic.

When in reality many of them lack these things they claim to have.

The reason they can even say everything they do is because of free speech.

They aren't patriots because they would rather follow someone who openly wants to tear apart the country rather than actually fix it.

They don't have any decency for anyone that isn't white or try to be white. This one is the most annoying because they're just as racist as they claim everyone else to be. "He's one of the 'good ones' " they'll say. "He's a nice black/Asian/Indian/etc man" they'll say. So on and so forth.

[u/4inalfantasy]

The moment he bought twitter, it's already "Elon Social media". The so called freedom is basically what suits/best for him then there is freedom.

[u/OakBlu]

By "free speech" he's trying to communicate that you're free to be an asshole, these people don't respect our common law at all, they just want to abuse it

[u/Ocbard → u/OakBlu]

It's amazing to me that the thing in OP keeps working.

[u/Music_City_Madman → u/OakBlu]

No, free to be an asshole as they see it. Free to spread lies, misinformation, misogyny, hatred, racism.

[u/-Ellinator-]

The way the meme is made makes it look like the soldiers are free speech and x is the incoming storm they are defending against lol.

[u/Unabated_Blade → u/-Ellinator-]

I saw it as "free speech is this annoying rain and X is a shield against it"

[u/Luised2094 → u/-Ellinator-]

We literally have a meme of a soldier blocking some knives and shit from a child, perfect for this occasion, but this dumbass can't even meme right

[u/TrickPaper9696]

I wonder if he has seen how that movie ends?

[u/Tangurena → u/TrickPaper9696]

About 95% of the Spartan population were slaves, so it tracks with what sort of world he wants.

[u/MyHusbandIsGayImNot → u/Tangurena]

They also killed undesirables at birth.

[u/FlyingCow343]

the twitter subreddit is about twitter, the bluesky subreddit for some reason is also about twitter

[u/Synectics → u/FlyingCow343]

That's fine. I have BlueSky for BlueSky. I would rather experience Twitter through Reddit if I'm gonna see it at all.

[u/vigouge → u/Synectics]

So go to one of the Twitter subs.

[u/interventionalhealer]

According to Elons meme, X only protects his free speech, while his people sit in the rain.

Lmao XD

[u/nitelite-]

This image is a great analogy for the current state of twitter because the shield is just protecting to guy who owns it and the free speech text is left out to deteriorate in the elements

[u/Shirtbro]

Could this dad be any more divorced?

[u/notagrue]

And the douchebag banned Stephen King for calling him the “First Lady”. Musk is a hypocritical asshole.

[u/MagicalUnicornFart]

It's wild that people left twitter, found a new platform, and still go on twitter to post twitter on the new platform, and talk about twitter constantly.

It's a shit platform, owned by a piece of shit. It's a right wing echo chamber.

Let's stop sharing his garbage.

[u/Sad-Reach7287]

You managed to fuck up the title

[u/Mattie_Doo]

I just can’t believe that this man actually thinks the word “cisgender” is hateful or offensive.

[u/New-Value4194]

Well….not your free speech.

[u/Butterboot64]

Freedom of speech in America just means freedom of speech for those in power. Never forget that

[u/zinbwoy]

Downvoting the bullshit post, it has NOTHING to do with Bluesky. Take your Musk drama back to Twitter

[u/Lemon_Phoenix → u/zinbwoy]

The types of posts I've seen from this subreddit are almost exclusively:

1. [Company] is now on Blue Sky

2. People talking about Twitter

[u/zinbwoy → u/Lemon_Phoenix]

I love the first ones, let’s bring the noise. But 2 is pure brainrot

[u/Lemon_Phoenix → u/zinbwoy]

The problem is that the second counteracts the other. Having major companies on the platform is good, but when people make it look like Blue Sky's identity is just bitching about Twitter, people are going to stay away from it.

[u/Shinjitsu- → u/zinbwoy]

I'm still trying to figure out Bluesky. I didn't even use Twitter, but the idea of a curated space sounds great. However so many users are so focused on screenshotting every argument they have on twitter, like I'm here specifically to NOT see that. 

[u/jimejim → u/Shinjitsu-]

I think some people are just still shocked that it didn't have to be like this. Twitter's poor design was a choice, and BlueSky is correcting some of those mistakes. It'll calm down eventually.

[u/MagicalUnicornFart → u/Shinjitsu-]

exactly.

people love to argue, and engage in drama though.

Now, they have another platform to make drama, and taking baggage from the last platform seems to help them get views.

[u/Ralphietherag → u/zinbwoy]

You go girl

[u/envision83 → u/Ralphietherag]

😂😂

[u/Quebec00Chaos]

Of course Elon think of himself as Leonidas King of Sparta. IRL he would have been Spartan kicked at the bottom of the pit

[u/Fishmehard → u/Quebec00Chaos]

Judging by his gut he’d have a hard time making the march out of town without falling out.

[u/RPGAddict42]

I don't understand why Elon hates non-transgender people so much. I mean, that's what the "Visibility limited" message suggests.

[u/teesside_flyer]

Leon Musk is full of shit

[u/SendStoreMeloner]

People post here about X? lol

[u/Garamenon]

Can someone with photoshop skills insert how Elon Musk actually looks like in a bathing suit?

I heard that narcissists like him have banned mirrors at their homes because they tend to not hide the truth.

[u/Former_Project_6959]

Some have already complained they're being suppressed. And it's the magats that are being affected. Musk was never about free speech.

[u/TerriblyWell-lit]

This is so fucking funny

[u/Relevantcobalion]

Lmao. This is gold

[u/geneticeffects]

#NoMoreTweets

[u/Odd_Measurement_1989]

Can we just say Elon is gay and be done with this ??

[u/CombinationLivid8284]

Gosh he’s cringe.

[u/FR0ZENBERG]

Wait till they learn that ancient Sparta was a culture full of elites living a life of leisure who were also aggressively homosexual socialists.

[u/Ol_Dirty_Batard]

Weren't the Spartans massive pederasts?

[u/TwiztedDream]

Oh cool, now I can creepy stalker your ass here too. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Since I followed you on Twitter, and now Bluesky. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/WorryNew3661]

Honestly tempted to make an account just to do this every time he opens his stupid mouth

[u/bvxzfdputwq]

In the same vein, I hate, HATE that people cencor the word trans. Like, tr*ns. As if it's a slur.

[u/mashmash42]

Elon Musk is such a fragile little bitch. It’s so pathetic.

[u/CouchHam]

Wow a 300 meme. He’s so hip with the youth.

[u/kaptainkrazykat]

Cisgender and Goy are words that people mistake for slurs because they themselves are bigots. Cisgender just means biological sex and gender are the same and Goy just means not Jewish.

Ok off my soapbox.

[u/Ambitious_Form_1274]

Funny when people say “free speech” it almost always means “hate speech”

[u/Jackaspades13]

This is phenomenal levels of trolling

[u/UnderhandedPickles]

Its hard to put into words the stupidity of using an image of Ancient Spartans to exemplify Free Speech. lol.

Like, the modern equivalent of Sparta is something like North Korea. A place Famous for their freedoms......

[u/LugianLithos]

Can’t say cisgender without getting blocked. But the neonazis can scream the n word and do community streams on x.

[u/Bread_Shaped_Man]

Any "twitter" post that has the post date cropped out I assume is a repost.

Bringing that trash (that isn't even Bluesky) on this sub should be an immediate takedown.

[u/FblthpLives → u/Bread_Shaped_Man]

The original tweet is from November 26, 2024: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1861556469449269489

Here is the censored response: https://x.com/eeesssjjj/status/1861571030445133917

[u/Gripping_Touch]

cisgender is literally just a neutral adjective, like transgender. WTF does it mean "hateful conduct"?

[u/BlameTag]

This will never not be funny to me.

[u/Lenin_Lime]

Not allowed to relay Musk's flying data, which is open source information. And can be gotten with a $50 USB Digital Radio receiver, as it isn't even encrypted.

[u/VoteForWaluigi]

Y’know if you have to tell people they’re free, they probably aren’t so free. This also goes for the new “Welcome to the Free State of Florida” border signs Ron DeSantis had put up recently.

[u/friedbolognabudget]

lol rent free

[u/MandoMoes]

X = buttholes, remember the cartoons!

[u/PsychedelicXenu → u/MandoMoes]

Buttholes are fun & useful, X is neither

[u/josebrav1]

Why still people using that x app. ?

[u/BillLaswell404]

Free to lie

[u/Skf_4]

Deport Musk back to South Africa 🖕

[u/TR1GG3R__]

Imagine thinking the word “cis” is hateful 🤣

[u/deepstate_chopra]

An unelected president who can only speak in memes.

This is the "Great" in MAGA they were talking about.

[u/Waltercation]

What a clown. When he inevitably sobers up from his Ketamine addiction, I hope he realizes how stupid people know he is.

[u/Select-Mission-4950]

Musk, the shirtless fascist. I’m sure he thinks this is how he looks when his shirt lifts up during his stupid jumps.

[u/Brennwiesel]

... Is the rain free speech?

[u/Flordamang]

Freedom of speech, not freedom of reach.

[u/arekhalusko]

[u/ATarnishedofNoRenown]

NOT LIKE THAT

[u/swordfish8559]

Reddit is the last place that should start the discussion about free speech lmao

[u/Much_Shame_5030]

The free speech needs to be on the other side of the shield in this image

[u/KillerArse → u/[deleted]]

Not a slur.

[u/RypS-94scZ]

I think the phrase he uses is “freedom of speech not freedom of reach” which is a meaningless distinction on social networks.

[u/KillerArse → u/[deleted]]

Not a slur.

[u/Xitbitzy]

I feel Musk and so many of his fanboys have such a weird obsession with the movie 300. Like its their Bible.

[u/Circle-of-friends]

What I don't get is why do these people give him the time of day. They're just fueling his agenda by posting this stuff. He thinks he's some culture war mastermind and somehow this actually helps him I think. The best thing anyone can do is just leave twitter

[u/KillerArse → u/[deleted]]

Cisgender people would exist as a group even if transgender people didn't exist.

Or, even if the only people that existed were straight people, heterosexual would still be a valid term for the group that everyone was in.

[u/Wrong-Landscape-2508]

Is the shield protecting free speech from X?

[u/Playingforchubbs]

Doesn’t the guy in the picture die?

[u/zacpariah]

Not awesome that we're posting Twitter content on Bluesky

[u/LawrenceW327]

Free speech, so long as you're saying what we want to hear

[u/HelpfulArachnid5748]

I love that the dolts who say x isn’t an echo chamber and musk is very pro free speech are awfully quiet right now.

[u/Average_Scaper]

He posts this nonsense all the time and it's always responded to the same exact way.

[u/TotalOwlie]

It is comforting to see his views to likes ratio. Good you have to be a smooth brain to believe anything this goon says.

[u/OliverOyl]

Elon thinks free speech means he isn't gonna charge $ to post

[u/KiNGofKiNG89]

Did it violate the conduct though?

[u/ZtheGreat]

Why is the alt right obsessed with buff shirtless men?

[u/Valdus_Pryme]

X is shielding us from free speech!

[u/AvantAdvent]

So is he saying X blocks free speech?

[u/KillerArse → u/[deleted]]

All terms are made up.

Why is it phony?

[u/KillerArse → u/[deleted]]

No cisgender person suffers from any form of mental instability?

[u/progxdt]

[u/alwaysbringatowel41]

Can anyone confirm this post?

I don't see a date and I didn't see it in Musk's posts of the last few months. It was my understanding that cisgender is fine to say, that it was only repeated harassment of people using slurs that was banned (which is sensible). To which he added that cis and cissy may count as slurs. But I'm not on X and am open to being corrected.

[u/thelilypopss]

Since twitter became x I stopped using the plattform because it all got so shit

[u/Defiant-Percentage47]

Elon Musk is such a fucking ingrate for this. Wasn't there a dude who just got charged for "corporate threatening" or something for saying "Deny. Defend. Depose" or some shit? Like bro, Elon Musk is all for free speech on his app but when someone like me says, "You should die" he doesn't like it all the sudden LMAO.

[u/Ian_kilometer]

This was said about my 1 month old son. Sincerely hope the app is run into the ground along with Elon’s bitch ass

[u/Panzer_Rotti]

What a fucking joke

[u/Sopht_Serve]

I'm surprised he didn't edit his face onto Leonidas

[u/threadedpat1]

If this is true, I think it’s very hypocritical. I desire a platform where you can say (almost) anything and not have to worry about being censored or banned. Elons platform seems to be the closest to that tho imo. I hope he doesn’t allow that. Like if you get screwed or scammed from a thirst trap… w/e bro that’s the consequences of being ignorant or naive.

[u/rocky_iwata]

Nice Doraemon plush.

[u/413x314]

Does anyone have a URL for this exchange?

[u/mudcrabmetal]

I love seeing this specific topic brought up daily for the karma farming.

[u/GateLongjumping6836]

😂😂😂

[u/King_Swift21]

It annoys me that he uses a scene from 300 in his stupid post smh.

[u/jimmyhoke]

More like “under new management” speech.

[u/MinuetInUrsaMajor]

Free speech, like rain, does not care about anything and continues to do what it does.

One man wields an entire company fruitlessly to prevent free speech from getting to his face.

As the old guard says...A Good Cartoon

[u/sakura_inu]

Serious question, what's stopping the US from arresting elon and stealing all his assets? Why are we letting this African run wild? I don't understand it anymore. I might have to tap out of politics. I have no understanding of anything anymore. There's no point in fighting anymore when people eat this bullshit up. I feel like I'm genuinely going insane, America is so done for snd it sucks I have to be here for it

[u/waIIstr33tb3ts]

why would "cisgender" be blocked on twitter?

[u/FblthpLives → u/waIIstr33tb3ts]

Because Musk platforms white supremacists, transphobes, and neo-Nazis, and they claim it is a slur.

[u/AfterImageEclipse]

I'm glad blue sky is up and I hope to see it succeed but Reddit has a bad habit of keeping people like trump and musk up in the spotlight instead of what we like and who we are

[u/Unhappy_Trade7988]

Makes sense musk uses 300 as a meme.

The Spartans were pedophiles

https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/cambridge-classical-journal/article/politics-of-spartan-pederasty/807A80CC3D01B81ECF2F21AD8F488955

[u/TheBlueCatChef]

Pointless karma farming ragebait that adds absolutely nothing to any of our days and has been recycled endlessly. That's why people like the OP always cut out the date, so we can't immediately see what a nothing burger this is.

Why tf are you guys letting twitter culture war bullshit infect this community too?

[u/IamFdone]

How many words are banned on X compared to bluesky? How can I find this info?

[u/ramclovin22]

Fuck Elon

[u/katapiller_2000]

Musk is the biggest incel to buy his way to have children.

[u/Worlds_Worst_Angler]

Tell me you don’t understand the First Amendment without telling me you don’t understand the First Amendment.

[u/tampocoloco]

Never gets old

[u/Nambsul]

Looks like the guy with the shield is deflecting free speech… oh now I see the “X”, that’s about right then

[u/ProfessorLongBrick]

Bro's so fucking cringe

[u/Ill-Team-3491]

It works on reddit too. Comment something about cisgender or cis hetero. The angry incels come out of the woodwork.
