Eight years ago, I was canceled on Twitter.
A kind of trauma, losing my voice like that, completely out of my control.
A feeling of banishment from the public Square, if you will. I felt really bad about it for a really long time.
When Elon took over, I was able to rejoin. By that point in time I had become a bitcoiner.
Although the suppression back then was in your face, I believe today there is more subtle mechanizations at play doing the same thing under the banner “freedom of speech, but not of reach“
With this latest global attack on free speech against Telegram it feels like 2016 on turbo thrust is imminent.
This is why I’m going to spend more time and energy here and less there. Perhaps ultimately, I leave platforms for good. 🙏
