unreasonably judgmental rant against your solution Vague/useless contribution of an alternative here's a penny, bot

It's OK to criticize without offering solutions

There’s no criticism there. Calling people racists and bots is not criticism, it’s just name calling. There is nothing critical about it.

There is a very large presence over at Mastodon when it comes to people well versed in web standards. The public discussions are often very lively (in a good way).

Can you link to some lists or an example discussion to seed my list to follow? Mastodon seems stalled out but I think it’s just a discoverability issue.

There was nothing constructive about his criticism of the platform related to web dev in any way. I know a lot about his politics now though.

I guarantee you do not.

It was an observation, and a criticism. It was massively reported that Shitter has a huge problem with bots, and was very publicly known when company valuations were happening. And, since the handover to Musk, there has been a documented shift to extreme-right-wing content on the site.

I'm not going to beat around the bush. You know as well as I do that X has become the de-facto social media network for extreme-right demographics and the overall quality of content has objectively diminished as a result.

I don't feel the need to have daily contact or discussions with other web devs over technical matters. Standards should move slowly and thoughtfully so such discussions are more suited to blogs and daily chats are only water cooler talk and socialization. It's just not as valuable unless you're trying to understand a concept but, hopefully, that's not a need on a daily basis.
