I don't know how people can stomach Twitter anyway.

I decided to take a long hiatus from that website because the outright fearmongering, name calling, hysteria, and utter stupidity was actually starting to affect my brain and my sanity. The toxicity levels on there are other worldly. It reminds me of the worst corners of hardcore gaming forum nerds calling eachother names over preferred video game consoles, but on a mass scale, and suddenly people of all ages, creeds, gender, etc, are acting like immature children. It's truly surreal, and a bit scary. I don't necessarily blame this on the left, though I definitely see this behavior more from that side of the aisle.

I wouldn't be surprised if this platform goes the way of Myspace in the near future. It's an absolutely toxic social forum with a pretty archaic and convoluted system of threads and dumb "hashtags" format.

They have the right to be left leaning, just don’t claim that Twitter is an open and fair platform. Be upfront about how they are left-leaning and align themselves with the democrats. Also, I don’t think all the employees reveal their true affiliation. I’m sure plenty of them lean right or centre but to avoid getting fired or similar they just say that they lean left.

Isn’t that a good thing? It means he’s employing intelligent and thoughtful people instead of narrow minded and disturbed ones.

That's exactly what they said in USSR. And Venezuela. Cuba. Cambodia. China. 3rd Reich.

I think it's a good thing they don't pretend that they are impartial. Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. are the very forefront of the contemporary political and ideological conflict.

Fronthole people, fronthole. That is the "levelheaded" left are now, these are the people that decides what is and what is not acceptable on Twitter

“Leaning” lmao... oh they are bent over.

[edit:  Deleted objection to thread title that in retrospect was overly nitpicky.]

Milo Yiannopolis made a career out of throwing rhetorical hand grenades.  He was literally a professional provocateur.  I will agree that Twitter claiming to have banned him for any one specific hand grenade is more or less bullshit.  But the bottom line is that any act of contrition on his part was a completely transparent lie and he was 100% guaranteed to keep acting badly.  Maybe Peter Fonda is cut from the same cloth and therefore equally deserving of a ban—I don't know anything about the guy—but if not that makes the different decisions justified to me.  If Fonda says something just as bad two months later, and again after that, then he can be banned too.
