You need to train your skill of critical perception of information. They are really paid accounts and you still think it's ok to "talk" to them. You better read whole thread, not just first tweet.
- duxup 7y agoI read the whole thread. I was commenting on twitter as a medium.
- EugeneOZ 7y agoAny "medium" without strict moderation is a representation of society. You think twitter is toxic, but what is toxic actually - society, people.
- mrbombastic 7y agoSociety has its own moderation for public discourse, ie laws, social norms, and accountability by virtue of being exposed in public to name a few. So no an unmoderated medium is not a representation of society or at least not an accurate one.
- EugeneOZ 7y agoThere is no such law "don't be a jerk" or "don't be toxic". You think "social norms" are important to people because they are important to you. But, 1) norms are different in different places, in different social circles; 2) there is a lot of people who don't care what others think or want - some people are capable to sell own kids, some people are closer to the angels, like Keanu Reeves or Tom Hanks :)
- duxup 7y agoThe medium absolutely shapes what occurs there, what is discussed and what isn't, and how it is discussed and how it isn't discussed.
- EugeneOZ 7y agoNot twitter.
