Ya man, that's social structures and public life. That's humanity. Twitter's got nothing to do with it, it's just the latest platform. Before Jack Dorsey and Twitter it was Cronkite on CBS, before Cronkite it was Pulitzer, Hearst, and their newpapers, and before them it was the Church.
At least now you've got your choice of platforms, just because some movements on some of the popular ones don't align with your personal views doesn't make the platform the problem.
- systemvoltage 5y agoI don’t know. I used to think social media has connected people but last 5 years of it - these platforms are creating a new compliance culture that deeply bothers me. I don’t even care about people wasting their time and adtech, fundamentally it’s creating divisiveness and eroding freedom of expression (of course not strictly, but implicitly the chilling effect is real).
