Dear social media websites Reloading

Dear social media websites: Reloading your shit and blowing away my in-progress comment is not a feature.

And I wouldn't even be on Nextdoor except that the nEXTdoORTION business model of amplifying hate and rage unless you "volunteer" to moderate and fact-check makes it a necessity.

luckily, iOS takes it up a level, you don't even have to reload. Writing a long review in the app store, and accidentally tap outside of the bounds of the modal panel? it gets dismissed, along with all the text laboriously entered in through the glass keyboard.

If your case came before me and I was on the jury, I'd vote to acquit.
