Platforms of the same nature like Mastodon.social ? Because no.
Actually, internal reports seem to indicate Twitter under Musk complies with much more takedown requests than it did previously, numbers seem to range from 80% to 98%, including requests from countries like China, Ethiopia, Turkey, etc. When people mention censorship by big tech the top three names are Twitter, Facebook, and Google. The only time I know of that twitter fought censorship was when India wanted them to takedown news about farmers’ protests, and Twitter lost in court, probably owing largely to the fact that he cut staff by 80% and ran the company’s finance into the ground by endorsing hate speech.
But there is blatant censorship
Nothing even remotely compared to any of the other platforms mate

No, I did not include mastodon in the “other platforms” because 99% of the normies aren’t on decentralized platforms anyway.
Very small pond we’re discussing, as sad as that is.
All I did was answer why THEY think Twitter is worth using. I personally don’t use Twitter, nor do I disagree w/ your take on censorship.
