Social media has a problem.
Unfortunately, it has been corrupted by monetization.
What am I talking about?
Well once upon a time, social media was a great way for people to speak their minds, voice their opinions and to gather information without the "interpretation" of the mainstream media adding bias one way or the other.
It was generally a fun place, even though trolls and idiots were using it in small numbers.
Now however, it is increasingly becoming a cesspit of misinformation, ragebaiting and abuse.
Having said that, I still don't support the age-gating of social media for reasons I've previously stated.
Today I'm going to take a look at the latest bit of craziness that has erupted on that wonderful platform X (formerly Twitter).
Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?
I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
