Benedict XVI died today 😕. I knew he wasn’t doing well. He was 95.

I loved his writing and his gentle style of leadership.

May he rest in peace.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. The only solution is taking platforms out of the moderation game. The content-layer of the internet should be moved to neutral protocols.

*You* should be the one who decides what you can read. Not a company. Not a government. t.co/DMyMr9RCtQ

For some people, attention is a drug (and online, it can be profitable too). If an attention addict can't get positive attention they'll settle for negative attention. As they say, "There's no such thing as bad publicity."

Maybe I'm just a contrarian, but while everyone else stares angrily at the loud motorcycle driving down the street blaring horrible music, my instinct is to ignore them and starve them of the negative attention they are demanding.
