    People here are weird, man. Huffpost is known to be one of the most heavily ad cluttered mess of a website in existence. There was an auto-playing video at the top, that paused itself after a few seconds for an auto-playing ad. Then I had to scroll past 4 other ads and a tweet that was not the tweet in question. I eventually got to the actual tweet after more scrolling.

    And again, it’s a tweet in the article. From Twitter.

    But people are acting like since I posted directly to the tweet to save them all that, that I am somehow doing them a disservice while personally blowing Elon Musk and cupping his balls. The Fediverse is a weird place sometimes.

      Might just be that people whom are willing to use relatively niche social media platforms are also very likely to disagree with popular social media platforms, and also have competent online protection systems.

      Some of the largest communities here are about free software, circumventing the will of large corporations, and extreme computer literacy. But we are on a political post, so who knows how much overlap there is.
