The thing is all of these dumb columns are going to get astronomical "engagement" here (ie getting massively dunked on) and probably lead to more publications noticing that posting to Twitter gets them nothing anymore
Oh funny this platform didn’t throw silly bullshit articles in my face about how it sucks and just let me make my own opinion. I think it’s pretty rad. It’s nice to hear nice echoes. Instead of people yelling the N-word all the time I think I’ll stay.
Leftwing social justice posting replacing Nazism as the profitable new hate-click generator would be the one of the great ironies of our very stupid age.
Life is one big echo chamber - it's just can you have the patience and respect to listen to multiple echoes in your chamber and maybe consider getting rid of that carpet, I mean it's so, ughhh.
Isn't that's basically what ANY social media platform is... it's literally the purpose of algorithms to get you engaging with things similar to what you're already engaging with. It takes work to move outside that bubble and diversify what you encounter.
It's not an echo chamber. It's more of an anechoic chamber. Perfectly insulated from screaming dimwits. And the fact that it's so easy to insulate yourself from toxic or intolerant posters drives them up a wall. I am all for discussions and disagreement. But intolerance, lies and hatred are a no-no.
LIke FDR's famous line, "They are unanimous in their hate for me—and it really hurts my feelings, I need to take half a valium and watch West Wing for a while to calm down."
The graphic first made me think of how I felt when my old boss would take me aside because I wasn't being "nice enough" to people in our IT tickets. I always laughed it off, I was paid to be a technician, not a therapist.

Let them cry in the Phantom Zone with General Zod.
(and yes, I'm being serious - the trick is to KNOW that you're in an echo chamber so you can decide if you wanna peek outside once in a while)
You have Truth Social, gold bars, and ivermectin. This place isn't for you. Just ask NewsMax...
Get rekt.
I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DEBATE HOW DARE YOU NOT DEBATE ME THAT MEANS U WRONH
Where your feed reflects the vibes inside.
Scream with screamers, or seek serene,
Pet pics, landscapes, skies of blue sheen.
With tools in hand, you shape the view,
Follow the bold, or the gentle and true.
Here, choice is power—what will you do?
And why were they so upset from 1775 to 1783?
It all comes off as someone complaining because they don't get the inside joke.
