Which account is political satire? The Babylon Bee or Elon Musk’s personal account? I kid.

I intentionally didn’t label it. Where on the spectrum does a statement like “women can’t run companies” lie? To me, the issue isn’t political. It’s that people whose entire identity is founded upon fighting a culture war seem to be the loudest voices on Twitter. It makes the product very unpleasant.
- slily 3y agoOh, I get that. It's just that you also wrote: > The 5th reply tags a number of republican politicians and was posted by someone whose Twitter tagline is simply "Patriot". Which is labeled and is not particularly egregious, so that weakens your point. I don't recall comment sections of popular or political accounts ever being respectful or interesting. But in some cases, the bots that used to plague every popular account's comments do seem preferable to that kind of stuff.
