Ok I'll bite. David Simon always talked about challenging modern institutions in terms of greek drama. You're fucked if you try to challenge the fates, etc. Those who go up against and rail on modern institutions are often swallowed by them. Is this an invitation to cynicism? No.

Because to accept the system as flawed, pass the buck, make little changes that just make it better for yourself? In other words, work around it? All those things just treat the symptom and ignore the cause, thus casting them into the same perpetual hell.

So when faced with the lose-lose that is going up against the fates? Rail. Rail right away. Because in railing you shine a light on the simple injustice of irrevocable truths, whether it be genuine world hardship or a dumb website making short-sighted decisions.

So yes. I'll say it again. This is a fundamentally broken website. And that deserves scorn.

I think there's an error of even considering it a solve. It's treating symptom after symptom while never getting to the root cause. Both paths lead to the same damnation, so I'd rather confront the institution at hand.

I think it comes from a general acceptance of systems as correct and unknowable. Like a person who has to drive from their home to locations but doesn't know how those locations connect. The existence of a system is seen as a neutral fact. There is probably a system behind it.

But if more people start using 3rd party apps then Twitter will be forced to do something as they'll lose a ton of ad revenue.

And so many of these workarounds fail to consider the collective user experience. I figured out how to take liked tweets off my timeline, sure, but I also like tweets a lot less often b/c I know they might show up on other ppl's timelines.
