Free Speech except for Thee

Another "free speech" warrior who won't let me even like their posts.

A post from Matt Stoller disappeared on X less than 9 minutes after it was posted.  He said, "The media has had an anti-Federal government spending bias since the 1970's.  There's nothing new with DOGE, it's just rehashed Heritage Foundation nonsense.  (This post appeared in my timeline and but I couldn't like it because it had already been deleted.)

Much as I try to migrate from X to Bluesky, Bluesky still feels like a luncheon with Maga Blue democrats.  There's no critique of longstanding US foreign policy (which tries to dominate the world), and one of the baddest things about Trump according to nearly all I follow on Bluesky is that he appears to be making peace with Russia and ending US support for the War in Ukraine (which is only possible because of US support).  Hardly any of the Antiwar and Anti-Imperialist voices I follow on X are on Bluesky.  It doesn't seem this is because of Bluesky banning people, but because of the power (or lack of power) of people gathered there.  So I'm sticking with my plan of reading X on odd days.  I occasionally try to cast some light (with as little heat as I can manage) on Bluesky...this may get me banned or at least blocked by some I'm currently following (which wouldn't make me too sad).
