I get what the author of this website is trying to say, but is there a need to swear that much? What is the purpose of that?
Ps: You actually lost me at the "Fuck Twitter" part. It actually has been better for me since Elon took over and Mastodon has never convinced me with its hallmarks of the old Twitter.

- waihtis 4y agothere's plenty of people out there who think saying "fuck" is demonstrating a personality

- rektide 4y agoI enjoy it. I'm glad to see the unpolished, unveneered. What you see as bad, I see as a strong positive signal that we aren't taking ourselves too seriously (it would be phrased delicately if it were), that we aren't here to be nice & tactful. We're here because we're humans & we're wrestling with bullshit & we should at this point have some attitude & flippancy about where we are & how we got here & how badly we need to progress. It's time to spring ourselves from the trap, already, to start to re-emerge better genuinely human possibilities. This is a Network (1976) Mad As Hell moment. And it fits; it's apparent to many, many are mad as hell at what online social media has become, what it's impact has been on society.

Taking the best side of your opponent in debate, the most charitable interpretation you can muster, is the fastest route to progress. I think there's a ton of ways this form here can be a good influence, but more so, I think the content is right on, and it's worth trying to get past your yuck for.
