I talked to @oliverdarcy and Status about how Charlie Kirk's death became fuel for the online outrage machine
⚙️We discussed:
- How social media incentives turn tragedy into spectacle
- Why online crowds don't wait for facts...they wait for cues
- The rush to mobilization, rather than deliberation
- How platforms should handle violent but newsworthy content
- Why we are stuck in this cycle, and what it would take to break it
