If the general public hated all new disruptive tech, people wouldn’t have lined up for the first iPhone. Show people something useful for them and they’ll want to adopt it.
If it’s a solution in search of a problem and people are being forced to use it? Maybe not so much

The “you have to be on X to fight the Nazis” is an argument that comes from people whose brains have been broken by being on social media. The way you defeat the Nazis is with IRL organizing, good reporting, calling elected officials, and other tangible actions. Posting ain’t it.

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”
“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...
