@MissingThePt Ridiculous. There will never be a social network that contains no users or content that bother you. But there doesn't need to be--the platform just needs to give you control over what gets surfaced to you, and they are doing exactly that.

You're judging a platform because of one user, promoting one [admittedly stupid/dangerous] person, one time. You wouldn't even see that post without following someone who surfaced to you or going looking for it. Cynical, unfair, and irrational.

Tracking what/who Jack promotes on a platform he started/backed seems like a rational and fair form of situational awareness to me.
And its not only that the named person is admittedly stupid/dangerous but the damage this kind of
propaganda/promotion can do.
It's not about "the thing that bothers you" It's about the propaganda/advertising/boosting/promotion to a large audience of that person and what surrounds him.

@knowattitude @MissingThePt Yes, I was admittedly downplaying jack a bit. But he isn't CEO, isn't involved day-to-day, and doesn't even post that much. Regardless I still don't think you can call time of death on an entire platform that honestly has been going really well and has been a remarkably positive experience for most so far. I didn't see his posts about this. Just don't give up on the entire project/community because of one thing jack did is all
