I can't help but think about how the web's become disconnected from itself in light of the loss of Twitter. Sure, some people are still there, but unless you're deep in the world of fascism there's no good reason to stay there. I feel like there are many essays that could be written about how Elon Musk is erasing all identity other than himself, and how social media in general has from the beginning been a vehicle in erasing already marginalized groups. I also feel like most people are at least somewhat aware of this. Strange how evil always feels familiar while marginalized groups, who are there all the time, often seem strange and unnatural. Maybe one day we'll know so much about one another that we won't feel strange, and we won't feel like we can't talk to one another without someone getting hurt.
