We're already fucking it up. Facebook and Xitter exist.

On a more positive note, Facebook and XFormerlyKnowAsTwitter are not essential parts of the internet. You can choose to not use or care about them. It is much harder to not use NTP, and it's great that it is an open and comprehensible standard ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Not fucking it up, it's already fucked up. The internet is a dumpster fire.
