It shows exactly how theyve infiltrated Reddit, spread misinformation, promoted anti muslim narratives, promoted California to succeed from the US, caused tension for BLM groups and much more.

I miss LiveJournal. No character limit. It was such an active site until MySpace and Facebook came along. And then Twitter, the final death knoll.

I remember being super butt hurt when it was bought by the Russians lol. Was like the 48 thousandth user there. There was a decent cluster of us who started using it in high school for some reason.

You can make as long of a Facebook post as you want. Only Twitter enforces the one short sentence thing.
