Advice like this is indistinguishable from how a malicious insider would try to gaslight people.
I'm making no accusations. I've known well-meaning people with an uncanny knack for exactly the wrong thing to say. I also didn't take their advice.

Oh yes.
And you see somewhat less egregiously gross versions of that attitude among the merely rich. Especially common among small/medium business owners who hire blue collar workers, but widespread.

We all accept that T&S is impossible to do well, but Bluesky seems to be leaning in to "so let's be absurd, stupid and selectively rigid".
The internal metrics that team tracks would be super interesting to see.

To make the narrow claim stick, you have to demonstrate far more about who knew what, when than I believe you can. (But then I haven't done the exercise either.)

It sure looks to me like you are making a narrow technical point while asserting a position of apparent authority, and trying to use that to smuggle through a far wider claim that fails.

The volunteer political messaging consultant brigade seems to be out in full force today.
If your bag is sniping at people for talking in public, tone-policing, or otherwise trying to work out your control issues in a public, well, that's what the block button is for.

Your apparent inability to read my pushback as what it was makes this comment pretty funny. But you do you.

The constant bald appeals to authority/celebrity don't help your case.

That's why they do post stupid shit like this - part of them realizes MAGA is out of control.
So they lean hard into social cohesion. And with that gang, the only thing holding them together is hatred of Other.
