Does anyone physically know this Steven Costiou person?
Honest question, is he mentally ill? Reason I am asking is that he knows
nothing about me, but immediately brands me as "nazi" based off of two
things I said:
- I like Elon Musk
- I don't like BlueSky
He seems serious about it too. My guess is that he's "terminally online"
and has formed a very warped perception of reality due to too much exposure
to social media echo chambers (aka "brain rot"). But maybe i'm wrong and
there's something I'm missing here.
