Something that has been bothering me lately. Reasonable people who counter the toxic misinformation leaving the platform only allows the disease to grow and spread. But reality is they weren't reaching the people that needed the dose of reality anyway. And then I realized that the algorithms have always been the disease, my feeds are my own echo chamber to drive engagement, just as theirs are. I've pretty much cut all social networks out. The only way to change minds is honest respectable conversation, and I am not a person to change anyone's mind.
We're fucked
