    Oh, you’re too kind! I would like to take credit but in reality I was inspired by people like Chris Jeffries, the writer of this Medium article.

    His confident writing style and utter lack of sources was truly an inspiration.

      And this is why I don’t read the article, there’s no point. Kind strangers like you will do it for me. Read the material, digest it, and give me the important parts up front. That’s what I love about forums like Reddit and Lemmy. Someone* else more educated on the subject will confidently explain what I need to know and give me my opinion directly. It makes 1., being an internet activist like myself, and 2., being an informed adult, so much easier.

      Edit: to break the fourth wall here, though, I’m more making fun of myself and the environment than anyone else, especially anyone else in particular. So, if you feel a little guilty, then self awareness is good. But, if you feel like I’m throwing serious shade at you or your friends… that’s not the intent, but again self awareness is good.

        Yes I think we have the same general thesis here, readers should think critically always.

        Look at the context here, my unsourced internet comment was in response to xep’s unsourced internet comment.

        Xep made 3 claims, and I believe all 3 are incorrect.
