It'll blow over sooner if we do it while they're still mad instead of making them mad again.

Bad move. Should have waited until people had cooled down from being mad. Now they're mad for more than one reason, which makes them more likely to leave.

That conspiracy theory that Twitter and Reddit are being killed deliberately in order to stifle the public's ability to organize mass movements during the lead up to the 2024 election is looking plausiblier and plausiblier. (It's a perfectly cromulent word, shut up!)
