I think some of that's true. I also get that the #mastodon indigenes weren't too crazy about the tidal wave.
I think the underlying issue was mismatch of ideas. The media wanted a saviour from Twitter.
The ori here couldn't see why they'd been roped into the problem, because they were fine as they were.
I'd seen this before, when Usenet was suddenly flooded with the great unwashed in the early 2000s.
So I knew what to do, carry on posting without CWs anyway and wait :)
