I treat people who have twitter accounts the same as I would someone who chain smokes in public areas: you're part of the mesh that prevents the substrate for nice things to exist.

Hopefully it's as much of collective social stigma as smoking is soon.

Unclear analogy - is the substrate going through the mesh the process of nice things existing? Maybe I'm thinking of substrate in a chemical sense rather than biological, or I'm just cooked. Is the mesh some sort of filter that allows bacteria to grow on the substrate (host)?

I take it as they’re saying, “you’re part of a framework that prevents the foundation of good things from being.”

The weirdest thing here to me is that people call twitter an app. Not a site/community/whatever.

Zoomers and later generations mostly interact with Internet services through apps.

And boomers and relatively old generations.

I have older folks don’t really get what a website is, and family kids that don’t either.

Theres a narrow demographic that (as a whole) experienced the “old” internet outside of siloes and apps.

Bro really wants to steal Truth Social's userbase for more money. He found out that the left is a lot harder to scam.

It's simply amazing though how many people don't want to admit it. I mean they're not hiding it at all but there's so many places even here on Lemmy that love to stick their head in the sand and don't want to acknowledge how bad it's gotten.

It's no secret that Apartheid Leon is trying to make everything back to the way it was in South Africa when he was a kid.

I'm sure he already has a very nostalgic flag picked out when the name changes to The United States of X.

Same with Alpha Snowflakes who get triggered by words like cis.
