Why Are All The Twitter Threads Allowed?

[Vastator]

Serious question? Does it not violate board rules by bringing up other social media sites? I realize that Twitter isn't a direct competitor for this type of forum here, at USMB; but...

I've had threads trashed inquiring about other social media sites, that in no way compete with a site like this. (It was a random matching peer to peer video chat site. Nothing like USMB.) So... Why does Twitter get a pass

If it's news about Twitter then it's definitely allowed as it's different than telling other people to go on it or just talking about it to talk about it.

If it's news about Twitter then it's definitely allowed as it's different than telling other people to go on it or just talking about it to talk about it.

Yet there are many threads about Twitter that do just that. They talk about it, just to talk about it. Such as...

With Elon Musk to take over Twitter, this what is the platform will do for free speech.

Elon Musk wouldn't know free speech if it bit him the face. And some morons on the right somehow think that the pot head socialist is going to be some kind of conservative messiah.

That's because that's related to the news.

Because you can use the word "Groomer" on Twitter.

Unfortunately I do from having to listen to this babbling idiot.

What FJB said. Some mods have English as their first language and developed reading and vocabulary skills, others are Czech hillbillies who just work here for the green cards.

Me too. He has never owned a company that ever made a profit, so IBM is probably toast. They must own a patent or two he wants.

You expect mods to be consistent? LOL

Not in the slightest. That's why no "Mod" has chimed in. And if they do... It'll likely be to disappear this thread or some lame ass attempt at a snarky one-liner.

Suspending the Twitter account of a major news organization for publishing a truthful story was obviously incredibly inappropriate

There will be no board. It is kaput.

And Blackrock is shaking in their funds.

Hey Elon, If you're looking for new Board Members, I'm available!!!
