I too would like to express a bit more if possible, especially if i have to refer to users and link URLs and images for example, having a limit that isn’t too much of a limit is kind of pointless i think. 🤔

It’s about the impact of technology on our lives, society and behaviour. For example, he talks about the fact that algorithms are increasingly trying to keep us in front of the screen for as long as possible, that echo chambers are creating more and more negativity, and that we may soon no longer be able to d … ⌘ Read more

There are many more, but those two will give you the gist. Yarn links the hash to the poster’s twtxt.txt, so conversation matching will not work.
