Twitter/X anonymous login and no Government censorship

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?

27
- 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?

13
- Also let's be honest; there's a 99% chance that Elon had any idea you could do this and if he ever found out he would make his last remaining engineers patch it because he'd blame it for an increase of bots.

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

- 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.

12
hey it's a troll telling people how to troll.. awesome dude.. you keep it up. we appreciate your enthusiasm, as you can see..

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!

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

2
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

Are you being down voted for simply having mentioned EM? Because the ability to create anonymous accounts sounds like good news, there are still a lot of discussions happening on Twitter/X from what I see.

Also, if it's only for lurking, it's possible to use twitter/x without account at all and no tracking, by using an alternative front end such as https://nitter.net or any other instance.

- You can make accounts with temporary emails through VPN on any website. This isn't something unique to, or even new to Twitter.

  It's not true several years ago was not possible without phone number verification
  
  -4
- Yeah it's a very good thing. Years ago I remember that it wasn't possible and the phone number verification was mandatory at some point.

  Phone numbers, credit cards, photo ID... There are various extra verifications some sites (try to) do. Not having them is not anonymity.

As you can tell from the responses, your statements do not cofirm to approved way of thinking from the good people on here who accept anybody who fully agress with them without questioning their dogma. On Lemmy and Mastodon, the attitude is "You can believe exactly the same like them in everything and support everything they say, or you can be an evil cesspool that deserves to be punched or killed".

That's why Mastodon nd Lemmy will forever remain useless nothings compared to the big names and are overflowing on the federated platforms with people who are incapable of spending time with people who can't agree with them on a specific topic, so it's easier for them to always be alone and live their life looking at a screen where nobody will challenge them to explain their rational and merhod for thinking the wsy they do instead of being invited over to someone's house and be with real people and not a screen.

You can down vote me now.

- I see a lot of projection coming from this Lemmy user.

- which instance banned you

- Yep, calling for people's deaths is definitely a thing that is happening to a meaningful degree here; very true!
  
  Personally, I started disliking Elon when he randomly accused that diver that made him look bad of being a pedophile. I hope that's a rational enough reason to dislike someone for you, but if you need more, I can gladly provide them - and I won't even insinuate that you deserve to be murdered!

- That was a bit halfhearted. You didn't use the phrase 'hive mind' or anything.
