He's right, but it hits less.

@fiend_unpleasant As a pandegenerate site catering to all manner of humanity's dark impulses. It is *also* a fascist propaganda site, a disinformation campaign site, an ego-driven billionaire vanity site, a fallen social media site, a pump-and-dump scam site, an adult pornography site, a pointless waste of everyone's time....
And for some people, it is still Twitter, and their circle of follows and mutuals is not yet all monsters. I hope they get out okay.
Testimonial Injustice (Epistemic Injustice)
Coined by philosopher Miranda Fricker in her seminal 2007 book Epistemic Injustice, this occurs when a speaker receives a credibility deficit due to the hearer's identity prejudice (e.g., gender, race, class, or political alignment). The listener systematically downgrades the truth value of the claims purely because of who said them, harming the speaker specifically in their capacity as a "knower."
The Genetic Fallacy & Ad Hominem
In formal logic, rejecting an idea based solely on its source rather than its logical merit commits two related fallacies:
Genetic Fallacy: Evaluating the truth of a statement based entirely on its origin or genesis.
Circumstantial Ad Hominem: Dismissing an argument by claiming the source is inherently biased or compromised due to their circumstances, without actually refuting the argument's premises.
If you are rejecting ideas based on the source, then you are not here to debate.
Buh-bye.
