I’m not a political person but I’ve noticed that for example Reddit has a more left leaning moderation in comparison to what X (Twitter) is.

For example, if someone does hate speech against LGBT people on X and you report them the moderation team will tell you that the content didn’t break the rules and guidelines, but if you as an LGBT person answer to the homophobic conservatives with the same energy you’ll get a 24 hours suspension from posting or interacting.

I’ve personally experienced this many times and it’s making me so annoyed specially since there’s huge accounts on X that are dedicated to spread extreme hate even wishing death on other people.

    Well, don’t use Twitter.

    I don’t mean to be grating, I mean to be blunt. Whatever you are doing here:

    …but if you as an LGBT person answer to the homophobic conservatives with the same energy…

    Does not matter because the algorithms are skewed, too. No “defending” you do will be shown to users who might actually change their opinion over what you say. As that wouldn’t be engaging.

    Don’t believe me? Look at any neutral content (like NASA’s Artemis posts) logged out+VPN, then on your account.

    there’s huge accounts on X that are dedicated to spread extreme hate even wishing death on other people.

    There is no “fighting” this on Twitter, there is no balancing. That’s the illusion. There is no free speech on Twitter even if you were never censored, hence only way to win is to leave. And deprive them of your engagement.
