Consider that so many people do not care to preserve the environments of online public spaces. While the pollution of digital environments with semiotic trash is less tangible and persistent than the beer cans, cigarette butts, and used needles on the streets of our cities, can you really defend its production? What kinds of cultures, mindsets, and personalities would this breed?
Yes, there are far worse things. But let us hold ourselves to our own high standards and be proud.

Note that I'm not saying that I'm a fan of low-quality posts like this, just that I feel that the lion's share of Twitter is low-quality posts, so it seems odd to single out a copy-pasta meme as being unworthy while allowing... well, the rest of Twitter.

- MiddleEndian 5y agoOn the topic of geriatric twittering, the one time I did not respond with the navy seal copypasta was when some older high school sports coach tagged me instead of his student athlete with the same name (whose twitter handle was completely different). I felt like that would have been too confusing an experience for him.
