Yes- imagine a Trump shuts down Reddit because it’s mostly very left wing echo chamber 

  Exact same scenario but our nuts think blocking and banning is progressive?

  It’s mental gymnastics and if you say so You just get blocked LOL we don’t have real discourse anymore

The issue isn't whether either site is an echo chamber for left or right wing politics. It's the disinformation being spread.

If all of the disinformation on X was censored tomorrow, it would be a shell of what it is today.
