     @dash @KatS that’s not the _only_ answer, I think we have to have a spectrum of answers, including stronger policy, better alternative platforms, more resilience for our existing institutions, and better education for users. But I understand why that one jumps out.

     @KatS @anildash Yeah.

     Not where I expected that to go. And then to just stop there without making any attempt to expand on that.

     I actually refreshed the page to see if there was some further content that hadn't loaded the first time, but no.
