Don't give me this "organic" disdain, I want TILTH!
I make my own. Home-made from scratch has a bitterness you can't get anywhere else.
@adhdeanasl β¦PFFFFT.
That was on the house, enjoy. π
@adhdeanasl @zicon There was a thread (now deleted) on the birdsite talking about the challenges of moderating modern social media platforms vs. the older discussion forums and other channels of the young Internet of days gone by.
One phrase that will stick with me went something like: "People were awful back then as well, but it was hand-crafted, artisanal awful. Not today's awful-at-scale."
@adhdeanasl Oh, oh, I'm going to put this one on the mantle right next to my outrage statement:
Corporate #SocialMedia is like the Outrage-Industrial Complex. The #FediVerse is like a variegated network of independent bespoke hipster outrage joints, where people get mad about the latest underground, avant-garde, anger-inducing phenomena that the plebs who buy their outrage "off the rack" probably haven't even heard of.
@adhdeanasl the Union Cycliste Internationale can steep in centuries-old bongwater for their banning of recumbent cycles from their events through rigid design limitations back in the 1930s
that decision set cycling as a mode of transportation back by decades, because it has led high-end cyclebuilders to focus exclusively on upright designs as they're the only ones allowed in UCI competitions
Nothing beats artisanal disdain.
