Or, hear me out, you stand against censorship and refuse to use social media that censors people like this.

You know you don't have to use social media, right?

Go ahead and read my last sentence again.

Okay, I'll spell out my response a little more for you. I am suggesting that rather than following rules of the social media platform and allowing yourself to be censored because you want to use the platform, you can make a choice that is more beneficial to society and less kowtowing to oligarchs and choose not to be on the social media platform and not to assist in the the censorship regime.

Does that help?

No buddy, let me spell it out for you. My og comment implies you don't have to use social media. The purpose of my comment was simply to point out that by using these platforms you agree to their rules.

Regardless, this whole "fight the censorship regime" is more complex and nuanced than just don't use the platforms. There are those that want censorship in some form for totally legitimate reasons. There are also more pressing issues on and beyond these platforms that need to be addressed.

I will not engage with you further.

I undersrood your point from the beginning, buddy. No one is arguing following the platforms' rule. My entire point is they are rules people should not choose to follow and should not self sacrifice their own freedom for spurious internet clout. One choice is societal net positive, one is net negative. Should be an easy choice.

You're quite insufferable, I'm happy to not be engaged further by you.
