as we rightfully mourn a powerful tool for organizing and networking please also spare a thought for all of the wayward Important Boys adrift from twitter. it served as a specialized care neighborhood for their Important Boy Disease. the moment you touch a keyboard you become susceptible to Important Boy Disease and once it has advanced to a point of “speaking on behalf of a community” there is no cure, so we should all empathize with the pain of this confusing new environment.
i hope this post made you think of an Important Boy who is hurting right now. no one will see their replies to corporate accounts anymore.
And, funnily enough, Important Boy Disease was also its downfall
