They're right, though. Somewhere between the "Matt Tabbi truther" and "Dorsey supremacist" mindset, we can all acknowledge that Twitter is not an unbiased news source. It's a bunch of people competing for attention in a sinkhole that rewards the worst contributors most consistently. Even as a liberal progressive, the caliber of extremist 140 character takes Twitter has promoted drives me crazy. It precludes meaningful discussion and forces interactions into the outskirts, which (as the parent is joking about) ironically happens less on federated platforms.
