Those are probably the highest profile examples.
Everything else is way smaller scale, and often more about the tone than even what is being said. There's a general "how dare anyone push back" or a complete failure to understand what life is like (some of this overlaps with the "ok boomer" stuff).
I'd point to:
- Martha Stewart's rant about RTO
- Many many of the "nobody wants to work anymore" rants we've seen
- The tenor of Starbuck's anti-union actions
- The communications I've seen from my (large) company and those at friends' (obviously not going to list which)
It's not like I've been keeping a list but those are what come to mind first.

I think that’s true for mastodon, but I suspect it’s going to be way less true for Reddit
Twitter’s value proposition is roughly “one big giant conversation with everyone” and the federation stuff adds some complexity to that.
Reddit already acted like a federation. There are ui and discoverability issues but they seem very solvable.
I had a candidate actually do that for a similar problem.
They were like 15 classes in to generate fibonacci numbers, it was wild.
