I sympathize with the author’s perspective, as I have a connection to the Spanish experience (e.g. transition to democracy), not by living there, but through the magazine Cambio 16 [1], which played an insightful role in media at my home. When I was very young, I even read about the leather subculture [2], which opened my eyes to diverse cultural expressions.

My main issue with Twitter is its lack of tools to quickly customize or filter your experience. This limitation can pull users into a world of hate, almost like being drawn into a black hole. I’m not sure if this is intentional or something that will improve in the short term. I don’t use Mastodon often, but I’ve noticed constructive discussions happening there. Similarly, I think Reddit has been an incredible resource—one that its owners and managers often seem not to fully understand.
