This comment is weird? It reads like an ad lol.
I'm also struggling to understand how and why it's being compared to Twitter. How are they even related?
Because apparently editing text is the opposite of writing a tweet, lol.
It's free software, funded by donations. Anyway, no, not where I live, and I'm autistic, you're comparing the way I communicate with an ad.
It's not the communication that is being critiqued, it's the unsual leap of contextual logic made to connect Twitter to Emacs. The Enties don't follow it, because they can't see how the unusual comparison paired with a strong recommendation for Emacs could be anything other than an "ad", and not just an enthusiastic personal endorsement for a thing you're passionate about.
Edit: I never knew Emacs had a built-in IRC client! What a rad bit of software.
Enties?
