@eff I have read the post thoroughly, searching for the reason you leave, and I've tried, but I really can't find any other reason that this?

@colin_mcmillen @eff

the declining number of views is due to a fascist manchild fucking with the algorithm, yes

so the eff left, yes

and?

why do you feel an edgelord need to frame a good move for the right reason in a facile, whiny, mindlessly cynical fashion?

@benroyce Because @eff have taken the stance, multiple times, of "absolute free speech", have vocally been defending neo-nazis' "right" to being platformed, and I find that despicable.

@colin_mcmillen @eff

well they left twitter. surely you think that's a good thing. then you want to applaud that, no?

or is every news item a chance to be negative?

what we do to improve the world is applaud good moves and castigate bad moves

castigating good moves and castigating bad moves just means no one listens to you because you have no effective position
