I really hope the RPG people following my blog have subscribed to the correct feed and aren’t being drowned in Gemini content... If you are, I’m sorry! 😅
I really liked the Twitter thread that acdw posted on his Gemlog, ‘I want to be done with “social” media’. ⇒ gemini://gemlog.blue/users/acdw/1594408470.gmi I want to be done with “social” media ⇒ https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1281414271692234753.html Twitter thread by @Millicentsomer (Lili Loofbourow)

Bad faith is the condition of the modern internet, and shitposting is the lingua franca of the online world. And not just online: A troll is president. Trolling won. Perhaps we can agree that these platforms aren’t suited to the earnest exchange of big ideas.
This isn’t great. People talk past each other, assume bad faith. But it’s not the fault of “illiberalism” that good faith is in short supply. And if that’s where your analysis begins, I can’t actually tell whether you’re naive or trolling. And I’m no longer sure which is worse.
