The author wants to bring light to the issue, but they’re also part of the problem and actively making it worse. They pretty much only talk about Twitter because that’s pretty much all they use. They’re not even trying to explore the internet.

I’m good with this. A big part of the appeal of Lemmy - and of Reddit around 2009-2014 is that it’s under the radar. Not quite a secret club that’s full of people and not companies trying to sell stuff.
