    is your goal to stop the genocide or free speech absolutism?
    i like both but im will to tailor my messages to have a better impact.
    at this point if you go out with a sign that says “down with zionists!” a lot of people will not listen past that point.
    words like “unalived” has help people bypass ai sentiment analysis and get important messages out there.
    everyone should move to federated platforms with free-er speech, but that’s not how you can actually reach most people.

    tl;dr is the message less important than the verbiage?

        well if you want your speech to travel freely, it doesn’t help to use words on platforms that censor those words…

          That’s why the solution is to destroy those platforms, not capitulate to their censorship.

            using the platform to spread your message with alternative words is not capitulating… it’s subverting.
            get over yourself.
            i’d love to “destroy” tiktok too but i don’t see any solution coming from you… just hyperbole

              And here comes “use the machine to destroy the machine” again. I swear Lemmy is nothing but the same 3 arguments over and over ad infinitum.

              Anyway, you’re not owning Walmart by spending $60 there on a che guevera shirt and a RATM album on vinyl. They’re actually quite happy you did that.

                not to destroy the machine, but to communicate your message using the machine.

                Or have fun changing the world talking to 11 people on Lemmy

                Nice strawman argument though

                  If I’m a Twitter user, and I see you on there talking about how shitty twitter is, I’m not going to change my ways. I’m probably not going to even read your argument. I’m going to wonder why you dont leave, assume you just like to complain, and go on with my day. Twitter will appreciate the ad revenue you gave them though.
