I just can’t imagine being so mentally weak that you’d allow your sense of morality to be changed because someone was rude to you online, but that’s like half the media. Half of them are like well I used to think poor people should get healthcare…but that was before PissBoner27 levied his cruel axe

One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.

3. Moderation matters. Twitter is imploding in part because the new owner insists on a version of “free speech” that platforms hate. Normal people don’t want toxic bullshit on their screens.
If you play nice with bigots / TERFs, you will replicate twitter’s toxicity & everyone else will just leave

The Globe and Mail insists this is a very serious place with no appetite for “irreverent humour” so feel free to provide them with examples
Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
