@adrianfry Yes, FPTP is crappy. But people *could* (in super-reality theory) just all vote for a new contender or party, but things just don't happen that way.

Politics just creeps in a general direction because - I assume - many people just accept the situation as normal so are happy to continue voting for it. It's also normalised by media.

@kitsune Yes, the 'failure' in this case is the failure to be the next Twitter, the next go-to social media where all the celebrities and politicians are and where all the journalist look for the latest (non) stories.

If your criteria for successful social media is '*the* most popular site *everyone* uses' then you're idea of success is severely limited.

I'm happy to continue here on the failure that is the Fediverse ...

| cartoon row: How antisemitism are intended to throttle the left

"No one ... is calling the Guardian 'institutionally antisemitic' ... Nor will its senior editors ... be forced out of their jobs, as was from his. Ofcom will not investigate ... and issue a denunciatory report, as the Equalities and Human Rights Commission did into Labour."

Can we think of a new name for a type of person? Add your suggestions below.

What name could we call people who are particularly ill informed about media and politics and who blindly, uncritically share links to the , helping to disseminate their unique brand of tepid, stagnating centrism that serves only to keep politics moving rightwards?
