I'm very happy to have participated in a democratic process that brought Musk into more influence, and I am entirely unworried that he wants to silence anybody in any important way.

Remember all that happy talk about making the algorithm public?
Haven’t heard much about that since the transaction closed.

Ok then. Now I know there was talk about publishing internal details of a social mediia algo, and it didn't happen. I remain happier with Musk as an influence on my society, as compared to the previous owners of Twitter, and the previous owners of the government.

The people that were complaining about Titter were men of principle. Just give it a few minutes for them to discover this thread and you’ll see.

My question is did they take steps to actively silence or mute the critics?

A bunch of the anti-h1b maga types got demonetized and stripped of their checkmark from what I’ve read. Such are the claims anyway.
But just wait until Taibbi and Shellenberger get on the case. We’ll have this sorted in just a few days.

Maybe Glen Greenwald will chime in too and Bari Weis will have a roundtable about it on her podcast.

There is no such thing as a professional pundit without a perspective that will alienate large percentages of the audience. Except Dave Barry I guess. Humor is the great unifier.

From what I can see, the only accounts that lost their checkmark status was a few smaller accounts that doxxed Krishnan. Oh, and Laura Loomer. At the same time, there are a fair number of larger accounts that were also critical of H1B expansion, and Stu have their premium status and no drops in circulation.

Yeah. Whataboutisms are particularly weak when a small amount of something is equated with a large and more systemic amount of something.
And can I just re-iterate how idiotic this anti-whataboutism idea has been on this forum for years and years. It's like the people who do the most whataboutisms are also the ones who say they are logical fallacies when someone else does one.

So then what is good or rational about employing a whataboutism tactic in a debate or contentious duscussion TNCR?

One can deploy a whataboutism if one believes it's quantitatively the same as the other side. Establishing that is difficult, and beyond the purview of a social media post, but let's trust that we believe it.

Well, I'm in the clear. I have never used the term 'logical fallacy' in my entire life. I'm not even sure what it means, TBH. I went to a comprehensive school. We always found that the words 'knobhead' and/or 'twat' didn't require consult a dictionary to determine whether or not they'd just been insulted.
Oh sorry, my mistake, that would be logical Phallusy.
