Kessler Syndrome mentioned in the first line? With the air resistance at 400km that seems unlikely

My Mastodon feed absolutely blew up with anti-Starlink posts crowing about Kessler Syndrome. It was an echo chamber of dislike, with very few facts involved.

While somewhat lower-keyed, and with a few more (well-chosen) facts, this article seems to target those people in same echo chamber.
