Reposted by Paul ChernoffMatt Thompson @mvthomster.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Great thread: social media didn’t do much connect cranks with each other; it made formerly hidden cranks visible.

It's just that you used to have to have a job that people sent their dumb letters to, to notice. This made "Engaging with fools" an occupational hazard rather than the 24/7 experience it is presently. 612418433
