I am trying to talk less about social media drama on here, but I will say it is sort of my personal hell to have spent roughly two decades thinking deeply about decentralized social media, content moderation policy, managing bad-faith actors, systematic online abuse, and the role of journalists in the architecture of generative online platforms, and see a broad public discussion going on where the loudest voices are all approaching this with “I don’t know much, but here’s my first thought!”
@anildash Sometimes I think that "I don’t know much, but here’s my first thought" is the fundamental organizing principle of the internet.

@jwz @anildash Sometimes I wonder if that's a fault of how we see different forms of communication. Why am I hesitant to press send on an E-Mail I've been starting at for 10 minutes, but am content with hitting 'Post' everywhere else after I typed up a bunch of nonsense most people don't even understand?
