@Demosthenes Pinafore on Android, as a progressive web app.

And I normally associate that speech style with Trump. I find that ironic, just as I found writing that to be headache-inducing.

@bonifartius It would not surprise me if they saw the world in very binary terms, perhaps with reasoning like this:

Trump thinks Twitter is bad.
Trump is a liar and a Nazi.
Therefore, Twitter is good.
Since Twitter is good, any critics of Twitter must be bad. Therefore Twitter critics are bad. Since Trump agrees with Twitter critics, it follows that Twitter critics are Nazis, and any platform where Twitter critics hang out is Nazi.

I might be overly uncharitable here, but having seen dysfunctional people use such reasoning before, it would not surprise me in the least if something like that were in the head of that tweet's author.

@freemo I really hope this gets sorted out. Meanwhile I've been trying to raise awareness on Twitter; I only use the bird network these days if it is for a reasonably productive purpose.

@freemo That is concerning.

@zleap Precisely. She was into a lot of drugs iirc.

@zleap The people there believed they could channel higher beings, that astrology was real, that big pharma and vaccines were evil and alternative medicine was the way, that we are ruled by reptilians...

@zleap Most of my friends are from high school, and since I went to a college prep school for most of my life, I didn't get as much banality as I got bad political takes.

There was one girl who started a group about New Age woo and added me to the group without asking me. That group was insane.

@zleap I have not actually used Facebook in years, but I remember leaving the more serious group I was in after it degenerated enough.

@zleap I especially recommend ignoring Joseph Santoro. He seems to be on psychedelics and thinks Elon Musk is involved in nefarious plots to build concentration camps.

@zleap These people had no retweets or likes overall last I checked, and almost all of the other people talking about this were very critical of Google's move. I'd suggest ignoring them altogether.

@weirdwriter@mastodon.social From what little I've seen of its content TikTok content can be broken down roughly as follows:

* <1% useful, informative content
* 80% harmless inoffensive drivel
* 20% awful shit that should not get serious consideration.

@freemo Any updates on the nonsense with Google?
