“Enragement is engagement.”
Social media is full of hot air and a lot of people producing nothing. Who cares. Most of the tweets on twitter are written by a tiny minority of people who like to hate or judge rather than act.
Quit social media and leave that crowd to waste their time whilst you build something that actually improves the world.
- MaxBarraclough 8y ago> whilst you build something that actually improves the world Or, failing that, chat on Hacker News ;-P Seriously though, I'm thankful that the quality of this forum is so high. When I see YouTube comment threads, I sometimes forget that Internet forums can be worthwhile, if they're done right and attract the right folks.

Apparently we all want those other rage-filled folks to quit social media and improve the world.
