Why should Twitter be the champion of free speech absolutism?

How has that worked out for 4chan and 8chan?

4chan or 8chan are far being mainstream and have a very political audience.

Elon Musk's vision to bring Twitter to be that ideal free speech platform occupy a space that no one is occupying anymore.

Perhaps they are not mainstream as mainstream does not want to participate in a forum that caters to free speech absolutism.

Shared ban lists. It's almost that simple. Users can subscribe to their own list of moderators, and build their own bubbles. Karl can have his Marxist bubble while Ayn has her libertarian bubble and Rush has his conservative bubble.

So everyone is happy except the people who want to control what other people can put in their bubble, and I'm ok with that.
