Rules to effectively use social media

• Be outraged about everything
• Be woke across all of time
• Never bring nuance
• Signal disapproval, or you might just cause an existential crisis for many
• Get called out for not flicking your fingers in ways prescribed by stranger collectives
• Torch your long-built reputation in no time
• Do it all in 300 to 3,000 characters
