At this point you have to wonder if they're actively complicit.

Twitter isn't making money anyway

This is nothing new at all, the GOP has been pushing their bs worldwide for years now. It's baffling how the liberals and leftists just sit around and allow these people to out-organize them, especially when it comes to media.

Kind of surprised to see that Brave does much better in this test than Firefox with extensions (on Android)

Nah it's clearly ideological when you look at the details of their new moderation policies. They now allow you to call people crazy, but only if it's because they're LGBT.

They pretend they don't hate gay people but vote for people and policies that are virulently homophobic. It's all performative bullshit so they can pretend they're still good people.

Oh you mean like specifically disallowing people from calling someone crazy unless that person is gay or trans? How the fuck is that "free speech"?

I can post some violent fantasy online and meta won't allow you to call me crazy for it, but if you call me crazy because you think I'm gay that's just fine?

I strongly disagree, reading any kind of book requires sustaining attention over long periods of time. It doesn't matter if it's 50 Shades or Ulysses, you don't get a dopamine rush from reading a book for 30 seconds like you do with Internet and social media. It's not the same at all and it's not just about prestige. I'd argue that the prestige comes from the fact tha reading books requires more effort and dedication

Odd that it's a choice between them. We learned Shakespeare and Homer where I am in the US.

Politically it doesn't matter. You can't win an election by telling people the economy is great when they're struggling to afford groceries and people they care about are going homeless. Democrats sounded incredibly out of touch this cycle.

"The economy is outstanding and Biden is the most effective president in history!"

But seriously, it's but hard to see why people think the economy is ass
