Well you better believe it. While I came to the party late, I did come in time to experience some of old Twitter and I am telling you, when Musk took over and lifted all the speech restrictions, Twitter changed overnight. There was a deluge of thought the likes of which had never been seen on Twitter before. I saw in real time Twitter change from a left wing echo chamber to a vibrant community with an unparalleled diversity of thought. No matter what you believe in or what you values are, I guarantee you can now find a community of like-minded individuals on Twitter. This was not the case pre-Musk and it is still not the case on many big sites like Reddit. So where were all these voices?
I would estimate based on my experience that a good 70% to 80% of what you see on Twitter today would not have been allowed before Musk took it. I cannot stress enough how much Twitter restricted speech in the old days. It was just unbelievably draconian like something out of dystopian fiction. I am not joking.
