    To be fair though the Democrats tried to stop dumb shitheads from pushing horse paste on Twitter during a pandemic, so no one’s blameless in the censorship game.

    (Please don’t make me reply clarifying the intent of this statement.)

      Genuine question because you absolutelyalready took the time out of your day to clarify the intent with your parenthetical at the end there: is this an ego thing? Like what is it about tone indicators like “/s” that you hate so deeply that you feel the need to go out of your way to create a bespoke, alternate tone indicator which was 10x longer and 100x whiny-er? Where did these feelings come from? Clearly you understand that they’re needed, so why do you persist in this nonsense?

        I don’t know why because I’ve never done it before today, but as I was about to post that I imagined someone taking it seriously and I was not in the mood to deal with that today so I cut it off proactively. And I’ve never liked /s.
