I always thought that it was an unspoken social more to not turn comments on social sites into news. Something about it feels eerily intrusive, like overhearing a conversation at a restaurant and immediately broadcasting it to the world.
Perhaps I'm old-fashioned/alone in this view/mistaken.
- robinwauters 16y agoWell, it rarely happens, for starters. And I think the analogy with overhearing a conversation at a restaurant is completely off the mark. Broadcasting a message on a vast network like Twitter is anything but a private remark or conversation. For the record, I would never publish anything I would overhear at a restaurant, nor something that gets posted on a social site but for an intentionally limited audience.
- gms 16y agoOk. I'm not accusing you of anything though; am just trying to better understand my own thinking.
