You appear to be fundamentally confused about what I'm saying, so if you think you've been agreeing with me, we are clearly disagreeing.
I do not think Twitter is run by ideologues. I do not think it's run by liberals. (P.S. -- I know more than my share of people who work there.) I do not think its policies are dictated by woke ideologues, whether employees or users.
I do think it is run as a business. For business reasons, non-ideological business reasons, they moderate posts. They agitate people of all stripes when they do this, and convince various people that there is viewpoint discrimination, even though that is not what is going on.

Bullshit. The thread you cited, and you yourself, asserted that Twitter does not seek to craft consensus and does not desire to moderate anything. It merely reacts to complaints from right and left.
We agree on that. You just dislike the necessary extension of that, which is that in doing so, in reacting to those complaints, Twitter is reacting to ideologues.
It is. The exact same way that media companies bowed to Brent Bozell and the right wing boycott mob in the 80s.
Idk know why you refuse to concede that, other than once you think you’ve made a point, even if one agrees with you, you’ll insist they haven’t. That’s between you and your therapist.
