While the plan's goal of publicly shaming sex offenders is well intentioned, it's important to remember, in this democracy of ours, that Norm Macdonald is a very common name.

MisterYuk Twitposter Twitfeeds

Fediverse is peppered with #cringy, delusional, self-hating twitposting. Some people's feeds read like a suicide letter demanding everyone else to commit suicide with them. Some twitfeeds exude the vibes of an assassin's hit list. Some twitfeeds smell like authoritarian extermination orders. Their toxic feeds should come with a Mister Yuk sticker.

Twitposter feeds run devoid of brotherly love and full of animosity towards things they don't understand. These twitposters seek to blame and punish innocent people for their perceived slights or suffering rather than helping others through their own suffering.

Twitposters try to classify and demonize others instead of viewing others as individual humans with their own individual destinies.

With this collectivist hateview of others, they concoct a delusional view of reality that justifies any oppression or atrocity toward the 'enemy' they have concocted, and often that enemy is the self.

omg i feel that dood. "o my god this happened so you need to do this".
"o my god you're bad because of this so k**l yourself".
it's not even just the fediverse. it's everyware, my guy.
i actually recently fuond a post that recommended the burning of the homes of billionaries. i agree that billionaires ruin lives, but the assassonation of them is not the answer in any way, shape or form. best thing to do is just block those people, because as one saying puts it, "you can't fix stupid". but you can certainly block it.
