If you thought the masses suckling at Fox News' teat was bad, imagine what
the decentralized BS machine can do.

I'm surprised that 40 years later you still take the piss at "Microsloth"
but you are such a fangirl of "X".  I trust that you could paint with fine
detail how public messaging has become a pillar of the modern internet and
maybe you'd identify the dark in those details - but my observation is you
broad-brush the greatness of "X".  I admit my own ignorance/disinterest.  I
tried it back when it was Twitter and wondered how yelling out a car window
as I drive past a crowd was in any way "communication."  I tried BlueSky
when it launched and had a similar dislike.  I just don't get it.
