I miss things spreading by word-of-mouth, not The Algorithm.™

I miss people making things for fun, not for the exit strategy.

I miss misinformation being called out and bullied mercilessly, not rewarded for Engagement.™

I miss Nazi being hyperbole, not an alternative viewpoint we’re supposed to acknowledge as valid.

They hate Elmo, too.

Too bad the second somebody comes up with something it’ll get enshittified to hell.

Reminder that woke was originally used as a positive term.

I grew up agnostic/atheist in the Bible Belt. There was a lot of casual discrimination, ostracism, and judgement if you weren’t Christian. Even among different churches. I’d have loved for there have been more Christians like you, but unfortunately the TV/Fox News Christians are all over the place down there.
