> Why does climate change attract all these loonies? Its not just Climate Change, though its rather stark and obvious there for the listed reasons below, but we've come to realize that 99% of social media based tech has been based on profiting from derision and establishing conflicting identity/tribal mindsets, and it's worked out so exceedingly well that even nation state's Intelligence agencies use it for this purpose (see twitter files). It has been immensely lucrative, unless you're Elon and bought an over-inflated company and then ran it into the ground proving that when you venture outside of a domain where you cannot take credit for other People's work you show who and what you really are. Hell, even Dorsey has backed away from Bluesky and is now really backing Nostr, I used to think this was a coup--Dorsey gets to take down the board from Twitter that sullied it and Elon got his next big distraction on the platform he spends shitposting all day on. I was hoping this was to make users migrate to Bluesky and have something really valuable to show for it in the end, but honestly I just expected way too much from Elon and instead he did what all rich idiots do when they are in charge: censor, ban, throttle what he doesn't like. What has happened instead is way more depressing and makes me think social media should just die already, people's speaking habits have deteriorated so much in these last 15 years that it's hard to have a conversation in person with most people who use it.
