    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.
