I really recommend just logging in once, the unregistered UX is crappy intentionally.

You're the first one to bring up First Amendment. We are not talking about it. Note that "Freedom of Speech" and "First amendment" are different things. Freedom of Speech can mean laws (and there are other nations but just USA) but it also means an idea, an ideal. Crudely, an environment that acknowledges the old saying of "sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me".

If you see the forest from the trees you'd see Elon actually runs a platform that favors Freedom of Speech more than any other platform by a country mile. On X any violations of it are exceptions (the ones you're talking about), NOT the modus operandi.




You keep saying "See the forest from the trees". It's "See the forest for the trees"


Yes. Continuously bringing up a few random exceptions like the ElonJet case, while ignoring the massive shift Twitter went thru to go from one of the most censorious common western internet places. That is the problem how 100% of negative responses I've received to praising the FoH improvements at X have received.

It is missing the whole while looking at details. Losing the big picture. Not properly managing one's preference for detail autism, for the tech business/lead spectrum types.

EDIT: Noted your fix was a sematic one. Ok. For how I often see written, and what also logically makes sense, the sentences are identical. "For" replacing "Because of" isn't that uncommon and is usually readable.
