it really was a good outlet for voicing a critical opinion without needing to have one's own blog, podcast, or followers of any kind. i know this move was partially or at least ostensibly because of legacy software they didn't want to maintain, but i really do worry about media consolidation and the resulting ability to suppress divergent viewpoints by simply removing the platform.
