It's just so much easier to find like-minded people and build a collective.
To paraphrase an American comedian, if you go on Facebook to find people that have sex with goats that are on fire, you'll have to specify the type of goat.

Ain't got nothin' to do with free speech, has everything to do with the medium being the message.

I probably don't really know what free speech is to be honest. It seems one of those US-centric ideas from a couple of hundred years ago that we're all supposed to have bought into.
I was thinking about the idea that if everyone is free to share their ideas and values, those that are without merit will be exposed and die, rather than festering in the dark while allowing what works to flourish. Or something. I don't really understand if the medium is the message. Facebook is the message? Social media is the message?

outrage is the message.

Makes sense.
So is this really about social media or the outrageous state of the world? Because the outrage is real, right? People are genuinely struggling and facing difficulties not of their own making. Right?

The Left hates the Jews. They'll never be woke enough to cease their anti-Semitism.

Not entirely sure that this is the mos appropriate thread, but it’s close because YouTube sucks. Anyway, read. (Trigger warning: Ezra Klein)

Yep, I never thought of it that way, but now that I think about it, they're spot on with the extremism observation.
My searches for solar-powered aquaponics systems has lead to "How to build a fallout shelter" ... but after all those Hillary videos I also watched it didn't seem too unreasonable a video suggestion. |

Yep. Twitter seem to still think they're managing a communications network which is, errr, concerning.

The problem I have with the idea this thread purports is that everything that is fucked up was fucked up before social media. Sure, social media enables a lot that previously was difficult. But that's across the board. Whether it's psychopaths, SJWs or nihilists, the compassionate, concerned or insightful, we all enjoy the same advantages social media brings.
Making out that the fucked up shit we're able to see that was previously obscured is a problem of social media makes it seems like the solution is to fix social media. The absurdity of which we're on commenting right now. The problem is the grim shit that's been going on forever. The powerful acting powerfully and the weak identifying with the aggressor. The Nazis didn't need no social media to get their groove on. What were the ingredients back then? A desperate situation to feed resentment and the willingness to put in more work than those who would oppose them?
