Thursday on X (Twitter), all users saw the same pinned topic under the “What’s happening?” sidebar.

You say that, yet every asshole and their mom kept going “hur dur this isn’t an airport” during the Reddit API protests when a lot of us mods announced our resignations and left.

It also doesn’t help that the Internet mostly rewards cynicism/tearing other people down and yucking other people’s yums.
