    I treat people who have twitter accounts the same as I would someone who chain smokes in public areas: you’re part of the mesh that prevents the substrate for nice things to exist.

    Hopefully it’s as much of collective social stigma as smoking is soon.

      Unclear analogy - is the substrate going through the mesh the process of nice things existing? Maybe I’m thinking of substrate in a chemical sense rather than biological, or I’m just cooked. Is the mesh some sort of filter that allows bacteria to grow on the substrate (host)?

        I take it as they’re saying, “you’re part of a framework that prevents the foundation of good things from being.”
