@knowler do I even want to know what this is referencing...

@vkc sorry to hear this was happening in your other replies. I appreciate you taking the time yesterday during a difficult day to talk about it

@beep @propublicaguild it's really depressing that in a time where private legacy institutions are literally gutting newsrooms today that it's gotten this far with ProPublica a non profit news room!

@vkc ohhh yes I wasnt even thinking about that. I always think of this as "dark matter harassment" since it's not always visible to bystanders. I definitely think that's got to be one of the worst uniquely bad things about here

@vkc do you think this is unique to the Fediverse or does all social media suck ass over a certain follower threshold? I see people with "large" accounts and from the way they talk it seems clear they experience social media differently than most people

@killyourfm @zeebok @danirabbit and that's without addressing the whole "just ask ChatGPT of it all"

@ErickaSimone @imp3tuz @blogdiva@mastodon.social I legitimately laughed out loud at this
