This blog post by John Gruber is embarrassing and lame and proudly advertises he's a political halfwit journalists that validate and normalize usage of a white supremacist's right wing propaganda website are feckless cowards who prioritize engagement over ethics

Gruber takes a break from blowing smoke up Apple Corporation's ass to falsely insist that X is fun, fair, and cool now, and that people who have political reservations about supporting a right wing propaganda website owned by a white supremacist have "lost their minds"

That's their problem, they miss the way that the Old Twitter favorite large accounts, regardless of settings. We can avoid reading them, and they hate it.

If I'm not spending time on Xitter and not planning to log in there, why do I care what somebody else says about it?

His assertion that anyone who criticizes his facile stance has lost their minds is a sign of good faith engagement right?

I gave up when Gruber started in on "the action", like his mind needs to get X-laid or something for Gruber to journalistically function. Maybe he sees his job is "he said whaaat?" gossip columnist, instead of ignoring the half wits' party games and assessing their actual world actions' impact.
