I am now forever referring to @karlbode.com as Techdirt's official "vituperative crank." (Also, lashing out at Karl for his excellent piece is weak sauce.)

I was so surprised and disappointed by this comment. It was very Trumpy of him, ugly and unnecessary. He knows full well that X is run by a Nazi, is full of CSAM and anti democracy crazies. He just doesn't care. Blaming Karl for calling him out was pathetic.

At the risk of sounding whingey – when you screencap an article, could you please also link to it (or name the site/author it’s from)? Every time people do this I have to plug the text into Google and hope it finds it, and that extra step really adds up over a day …

Casey Newton. Was in an post he wrote on Platformer. So very insider. If you sign up for his not substack newsletter (they platform Nazi's of course) you will get this pathetic little write-up.

In this case, Google finds no results, so I have no way of knowing who wrote this or where. (Not that I think I’ll find the piece particularly informative or interesting, but idle curiosity must be sated)
