"Individuals will have to lead the way, too […] there is extraordinary power in defining ideals, and we can all begin […] We would be wise to develop more sophisticated shared norms for debating"

And yet, her journal's "follow" section only shows the same platforms she's criticizing, and #Mastodon is nowhere to be found.
