Oh I know you were. My bad if my tone came off aggy.
I saw a woman find her mother a a life saving organ donor on Twitter. Watched the whole thing play out from her initial plea to post surgery. It was amazing.

All good but yeah things like that show that the platforms and tools themselves are good or even neutral but it’s how we use them. We’re using the same means that the Stormfront assholes use to communicate with each other. Doesn’t mean that the tech is the issue. It means the Stormfront assholes are the issue. Tech is always going to change whether that was inventing the telephone nearly a century and a half ago or SMS more recently, it’s up to us as human beings to use it constructively. I’m trying to think of a good 20th century analogy here. Oh? Perhaps how the radio brought comfort to millions of people around the world during the global depression but how Hitler used it for propaganda. Same thing with cinema and how Leni Riefendstahl used it for propaganda.
