I mean it totally could be detrimental to free speech if that’s how the majority chooses to use it. It’s too tricky a line between right to free speech and right to have peace (whatever that looks like to an individual) That I have never figured out.
But just for imagination’s sake: what if this tool evolves to the point where it does not rely on a given list of terms and instead a list that each user chooses to enter or not.
Let’s say there’s a big shitcoin presence in your feed and you’re a Bitcoin maxi, and don’t even wanna see that shit, but there’s so much of it that you keep having to go through your feed and continuously muting shitcoin accounts.
And what if this tool allowed you to type in the words: etherium, monero, or whatever the fuck and you never have to see that shit again.
Would that still be an example of a “killer bee” situation to you?
