“Dorsey is obsessed with the idea of a social media platform that nobody can be kicked from.”

That is certainly what Dorsey says he’s obsessed with, but he’s no fool: He knows very well that if you can’t or won’t kick Nazis out of your bar, you become a Nazi bar, and the Nazis will kick everyone else into leaving.

This is 💯 about plausible denial. “Who me run a social media site facilitating genocide? Perish the thought! We embrace all civil discussion.”

This is pure comedy gold-

“My big takeaway from this and every other Jack Dorsey news cycle is that I could easily get him to pay me $125,000 for a jug of something called Diarrhea Water in the understanding that it would ‘detoxify his beard.’”
— David J. Roth

Jack Dorsey is a Nazi. He used to run the bar, and he knew all of them on a first name basis.

A while back I asked how this story goes if the bar is sold and the new owner renames it “X” and places a literal iron cross on the roof, which he illuminates day and night in lieu of burning a wooden cross.

I now realize the “new” owner is just finishing the job the previous owner botched.

Yup. Jack got his cash and Elon got his Nazi bar.

"But it's not really a Nazi bar, you see, it's just that Elon is dedicated to free speech and all". Yeah right. Freeze Peach, my a**.

That crusty punk bartender had the right idea: kick them out immediately, don't give them a minute of your time, show them the door with one hand and the baseball bat with the other.

Hopefully, this is something we have learned here, but then I hear about federating with Meta and I despair.
