No, the emotional reaction it elicits is "oh here we go again." It's worse than useless, it completely undermines your point. Social media has a lot of negatives, and some positives. The negatives are mostly a result of chasing profit, and locked-in platforms as opposed to federation between equals. E.g. nobody's crying out that email is about to destroy the very fabric of reality.
- dartos 2y agoEmotional reactions are subjective. You seem to be the only one really hung up on the made up quote I used to illustrate my point. Maybe it undermines my point to you, but that’s okay.
