      2/ Saying a thing that is near to, and emotionally connected to the actual thing you care about. "Elon Musk hasn't accomplished anything; SpaceX is a joke" --> "I dislike the fact that Elon works the political angle and takes government funding".

      3/ "The elites who are making us wear masks and stay locked down are sadistic and take active pleasure in watching us die in our apartments" --> "it makes me sad that I can't go out and hang with my friends; I feel isolated and alone".

      5/ I suppose a person with more emotional energy could construct an API layer of glue code to decode these things and then respond with appropriate arguments. ...but that's not me. I just mute and unfollow. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      6/ I see a ton of people saying "Twitter is cancer", and ... they're not wrong. ...but they're also not right. Parts of twitter are covid-AIDS-cancer-rabies. ...and other parts are astounding. Great people, smart discussions, wholesome memes, good motivation.

      7/ (Slacks, Discourses, mailing lists, etc. are similar, although not remotely as bad, because the other UIs don't amplify rage, stupidity, and emotional volatility nearly as much). The problem is that a teaspoon of feces in a barrel of wine results in a barrel of feces.

      9/ As with everything else in life, incentives matter, and - once again, as with everything else in life - negative externalities are definitionally "off the books" for other people. If someone can have 3 seconds of fun or relief from the screaming anxiety by dumping 1 hr

      10/ ...of anxiety or stupidity on you, they will do it, every time, in a heartbeat. You can't talk about George Soros without someone correcting you that the spelling is (((Soros))). You can't talk about principle agent problems without spam about transpervertfilth at Google.

      11/ You can't talk about how some people have inappropriate sexual attractions and discuss public policy to minimize harm to innocents without "HANG THE PEDOS, NO TRIAL, WAIT, NO, LIGHT THEM ON FIRE FIRST BEFORE HANGING THEM". You must mute people and terms agressively.

      12/ ...and this gets towards my political philosophy: civilization can only exist in a bubble. Exit and exile (two sides of the same coin) are absolutely mandatory to create and preserve anything good.

          That is why every social media site (from BBS to Twitter to…) exhibits a distinct life cycle. This site is clearly gearing up for a mass exodus, which will soon see rise of the next town square.
