And so did the web's inventor, @timbl.bsky.social. Listen to what he said about violence and online echo chambers in 1997:

"We’ll continue to champion the invaluable work of stations, journalists, and independent creators.
We’re deeply grateful to public media’s listeners and supporters. Our mission continues with strong resolve."
"At PRX, we remain steadfast in our commitment to public media organizations and producers who inform millions of Americans with vital news, inspire through storytelling, and provide cultural connection."
A message from Kerri Hoffman, CEO of PRX:
"The vote in the U.S. Senate and Congress to eliminate federal funding for public media is a devastating blow to communities and journalism nationwide."
Within days, the Senate will vote on legislation that would devastate public media. Call your Senators now and urge them to remove public media funding cuts from the rescissions package. bit.ly/3GqqF7y #ProtectMyPublicMedia
LONG SHADOW: BREAKING THE INTERNET episode two podcast cover overlaid over flash mob
As people grew more familiar with the internet and its utility, they began to using it to mobilize for different causes — from the 9/11 hijackers to flashmob pranksters to activists, the internet put power in the hands of the people, for better and for worse.
When was the last time you felt good about the internet? Back in the day, the web gave power to the people, and going online could actually be fun.
In LONG SHADOW, BREAKING THE INTERNET, host @vermontgmg.bsky.social retraces 30 years of web history to answer, “How did we get here?”
