How the fuck did you misunderstanding what I said become me making a strawman? I said it was going down You said it wasn't going to go down forever. I said I never said that, but it does mean it's not going to go back up on it's own. DAFUQ?

I’ve told the anecdote before about how I once got dinged by Twitter for using an anti-gay slur in an argument about anti-gay values

Btw, I think that's an excellent example of one way censorship can go wrong. Definitely not the only one.

You extrapolated a single anecdotal experience

"could be" I was cracking a joke about 1 dumb scenario. I wasn't extrapolating shit. Is this whole thread cuz you don't read so good? Yes, apparently.

The fact that it’s trending down now, doesn’t mean it’s going to keep doing that.

I actually said it isn't going to grow, not that it's going to go down forever. It'll bottom out somewhere. It's not going to grow precipitously again barring some outside event. Logic isn't your friend, huh?

I actually would be happy to with more reasonable people, but that doesn't include anyone here. So get fucked, honestly.

I mean, unless you’re a reporter who has covered Musk critically.

You misspelled "Doxxed Musk"

Anecdotal experience is not empirical evidence.

It is of that anecdote. I really don't think you're making the point you think you are.

… so are Twitter or Facebook gaining those users back, or are they “gone forever”?

Typical usage patterns they're probably gone forever unless something else changes.

And heh… I’m sure that nobody else will try Mastodon and stick around to make it a lasting thing. Right?

I'm sure some people will. Will that matter? Not really. Myspace still exists. So?
