We spent much of the past decade coming to grips with *other* realities of the internet. The internet reflects real-world power structures, amplifies the loudest among us, gives bad actors new opportunities to game and cheat the system. This is the internet of the 2010s-2020s. — PolitiTweet.org

An interesting thing about Birdwatch is how much it leans into a narrative we like to tell ourselves about the internet, which is that it is little-d democratic, levels playing fields, returns power to the people, gives voice to the voiceless, etc. A very 1990s-early 2000s idea. — PolitiTweet.org
