People hate a service, but they depend on it so much they create whole codebases to cope with it.
Depending on things we hate is a tragedy.
How about just admitting the things you hate? Then you can just drop it and live a happier life.
Unless you are of course somehow required/forced to use X, then I'm all for projects like these.
That being said, many public figures have not made the same judgement and post their communications there.
Should I just stop informing myself on the public discourse because the place it happens got taken over by a shady character?
I think using code to liberate the discourse from its would-be manipulator is the most reasonable thing to do and a reflection of true hacker ethics.
Since X is still highly popular, will you ever reconsider your position?
Just curious, not looking for a fight or debate.
Of course! It's always important to consider the agenda behind any media.
> Since X is still highly popular, will you ever reconsider your position?
I don't see how popularity is a factor. It has data I want in a system I don't support, so I exfiltrate the data.
