Instagram’s new Twitter competitor, Threads, is off to a rocket start. Mark Zuckerberg announced 30 million activated profiles, while internal data shows over 95 million posts and 190 million likes in less than one day,
Pretending Twitter is a bastion of free speech is laughable. Twitter is full of censorship. And it's the kind that appeals only to a certain demographic.
i don’t think the comment was implying that it was a bastion of free speech, but when you compare twitter and meta platforms, twitter definitely has the edge in a lot of communities, especially sex-positive ones
It absolutely does not have an edge. You can't even use the term "cis" without getting banned. I can't imagine that being a plus for sex positive communities where that kind of information is extremely important.
you can’t post nipples on instagram, you can’t post even a hint of a bare ass in a jockstrap on instagram… you can post fisting and ws videos on twitter
you’re right, edge isn’t apt: there’s no comparison between the 2 platforms for sex positive communities
that’s just entirely untrue… certain parts of it are be, i totally agree: twitter as a whole is a shit show
… however, it’s just misleading to say that “it absolutely does not have an edge ”
but sex positivity is just not a thing you can express on meta platforms… i say this as someone who uses social media entirely for fetish and kink content: these are my communities and how i choose to express myself and live my life… i am not welcomed on meta, twitter is a place i can exist
(bear in mind as well that the extreme toxicity of most of twitter doesn’t tend to spill over into those communities)
