- NotYourLawyer 4y agoA huge proportion of the Twitter blue checkmarks, maybe. I like to think the population at large is a little more sensible and circumspect. It’s great to arrest those other people for saying things one doesn’t like. But in 30 years, different thoughts may be out of fashion.
- dmix 4y agoMajor threads on Reddit typically have ~5-10% of comments removed. Anything political and it goes to ~25% [1]. When pushback gets [removed], not just downvoted, you start to think certain topics have unquestioned support. So it's easy to forget that what's mainstream or controversial on Reddit and Twitter can be very different than real life.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoI disagree. I’m calling the police.
- albatross13 4y agoI think you're wrong- a huge portion of the US population just wants to be left alone. What you see on social media is just the vocal minority.
