Today I realized that is possible login on twitter with a temp mail through VPN in a complete anonymous way. I think it's a very good thing. I don't understand why here a lot of people criticize Elon Musk. I think that now it's a platform more open to debates, it's almost free speech. No other popular big tech platform allow anonymous login.

free speech is when you kick out all the journalists that are slightly more left leaning than you and bring back racists, sexists, fascists, and human traffickers

Yes, Musk recently intervened personally to unban a guy who posted CSAM that remained up for a week and got millions ofn vews . That must be the type of 'free speech' OP is referring to.

Why can't I hit the down vote button more than once?

Otherwise the ghost of trump will come after you calling voter fraud and "stolen election"

Is this Elon's Lemmy account?

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 7 points 1 year ago

He wouldn't be here, there's not enough eyeballs! He needs the attention

Are you insane by any means?

Who let this man cook 💀

OK, so you can login anonymously. Great.

The real question is; why would you want to, given that the dead bird site is a cesspool of extreme rightwing awfulness? What are you hoping to learn or take from being on there?

Privacy-wise the better option would be to make Twitter/𝕏 accessible while logged out.

[–] thecam@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

By allowing lurking twitter, apps and services like nitter can exist as twitter proxies.

What do you mean with "anonymous login"? If you need to create an account, then it's not anonymous.

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

hey it's a troll telling people how to troll.. awesome dude.. you keep it up. we appreciate your enthusiasm, as you can see..

[–] Holyginz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Because if you are doing all that they aren't "allowing" it. You are circumventing them. You shouldnt have to do all that to be anonymous. Allowing hate speech doesn't mean a site has more free speech. It just makes it a cesspit

Ugh "free speech" IE you can debate random trans people just trying to live their lives. Twitter always had some level of free speech. Neat though that anonymous login kinda works!

[–] ImOnADiet@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

one of the most insane things I've ever seen posted on any site ever

[–] shawnshitshow@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

because spreading bullshit from anonymous accounts where you cannot even consider the source is somehow better

Seems like a good opportunity to tell you all how amazing the 'community added context under this tweet' feature is
