This is our world, these are the morons we inhabit it with.

X is (very stupidly) unregulated in all things that aren't talking shit about Musk, but that just means that we get a daily dosage of "raw humanity" and we don't like it because it's fucking gross. Most social media companies know this and sanitize it for us to enjoy. X is like walking down the street in some really depressed town where drug addicts and weirdos are running around naked shouting at "the man in the wires who tells me to mate with Barny."

people suck (mostly) lol
