Mastodon has more of a flat structure and is designed to be more conversational which is why I think it hasn't caught on amongst celebrities and the pundit class. It's great for conversation but only so-so at self promotion.

@rysiek@mstdn.social's blog is one of my favorites. He really understand the social aspect to a lot of modern technology.

I think the most effective reply is highlighting their methodology and moving on, rather than allowing yourself to be bogged down in rebuttals. You can never convince them because they are not "debating" earnestly, and the audience they are performing for isn't interested in following a debate and will dismiss both sides.

Agree completely, I also just feel it's important to highlight that style of inauthentic behavior.

What are you accomplishing, right here, right now, with this comment?

The function of accounts like the one you are replying to is to encourage cynicism and inaction among otherwise anti-fascist people.

Failing that, they will try to exhaust you with "debate".

Well, this season looks officially ridiculous.

My unpopular opinion is that while the 2009 Enterprise does not look at all like the starships I know and love (more) it is definitely doing it's own thing in a unique (and tonally consistent with the Ambramsverse movies) way that I appreciate.

The design language for those films is a sort of 2010's retro-futurism that just lands really well IMO.

People get so weird about Dansup.
