Your Twitter/X account is a microphone connected to a mixer controlled by a fascist. You can speak all you want. The fascist controls your volume and can mute you whenever he wants. And you might not even know you’ve been muted because you can still hear yourself in your headphones.

It’s not called resistance when your volume knob is in someone else’s hand.

@aral Actually it is, because that's how pretty much all volume knobs are implemented. Either it's a real-world potentiometer, or it's a simulated one driven by a rotary encoder.

The "resistance" in this case is their tolerance of your gain. 🙂
