Conservatives and libertarians have been banned for a decade.
Since the first Obama social media campaign the internet became very one sided - and people started believing that crap so much, everyone here had to sit through at least one DEI training.
I'm against any form of government and centralization of power (which nearly always happens thanks to regulations and laws); I'm not a fan of Musk and conservatives (I'll change my mind after I see with my eyes a significant reduction of the US government) but I'm glad to see a return to balance in online discourse.
We had another DEI training at work and I was impressed to read everyone left negative reviews about it. Quite the change in sentiment!
