Beehaw can't be interacted with through lemmy.world so I thought id crosspost it here for all to see

I recently listened to a "tech" podcast host drone on for 45 minutes about the "Elon vs Zuck" cage match and this piece perfectly captures the frothing, screaming stream-of-conciousness in my brain at the thought of seeing another discussion about Twitter vs Threads/Insta/Face/burning-sh*itpile. I felt some small amount of catharsis just from reading.

Man, I agree with the point, but is anyone else completely turned off by this kind of writing style?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I didn't make it more than a couple paragraphs. Please stop with the rage bait and just present the details clearly.

I'm not emotionally invested in either Zuckerberg or Musk, but I am interested in their companies to some extent. So give me details about their companies and some analysis on what you think that means. Tone down the language and increase the citations.

I dunno. Their message aside, the writing style was really easy to keep reading, but went on for far too long I think. There were some fun bits in how they describe things.
