It's a little difficult to separate the politics off and put it into a different category altogether. He supports having the government be shitty to people he doesn't like. I have no doubt he could be nice in the pejorative sense -- like in the difference between nice people and kind people or in the "nice guy" meme sense -- but many doubts that he's actually a really nice guy in any sincere way.

It's easier to say you just don't really know him. I think it's similar to the neighbors saying how the serial killer really seemed like a great guy when the reporters interview them. He wasn't a great guy, you just didn't know who he really was.

What community? This is social media we're talking about. Have people really convinced themselves that these things are communities?

All of a sudden their test scores start going through the roof.

How about "billionaires are edible" or "Tech bros are welfare queens" or "Watch out for a-luigi"?

Demographics aren't destiny either. The whole electorate moved red last cycle. It really isn't enough to "these people have stereotypical liberal attributes, they'll flip this state blue!". They won't.

He’s otherwise a really nice guy

I agree, but we should at least have them fork over the cash to buy a new dumpster to enshittify every few years. There's Twitter that people still cling to despite it being a superfund site since at least when Leon bought it.

Make Facebook the next MySpace, make Reddit the next Digg. Make social media sites starve to death from lack of engagement again.

I don't think 404 uses a password-based login if that makes a difference.

I personally just consume their crap via RSS like most other things I read.

Speaking of, cigarette butts / discarded filters are a major source of microplastic pollution.

Now we're doing headlines like this with tech companies in addition to politicians? These fuckers act with impunity because they can.

For some reason, it appears the unbreakable barrier for humanity is switching the fucking social media site you go to.

What would it take for people to consider not looking at Instagram and Facebook? A feed full of snuff videos?

I think we're all a bit like the f35...lost and running on auto-pilot.
