Re: Social Media: The New Nicotine.
Harassment's just a part of the problem. Have you guys read anything about all the vandalism tied to kids acting out TikTok dares?
--sounds silly, but at one point this year I wasn't aware of a single middle school --not one-- whose bathrooms hadn't been destroyed ie toilets and sinks ripped out, doors off hinges etc...
It's a major achievement for tech really, just a shame about the humans...

The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

Re: Social Media: The New Nicotine.
I have, you can find interesting people if you're lucky or precise enough in searching
but gosh, people there are really hair triggered on the ignore thing
and yeah, there are loads of nasty people, like the one who signalled a politically oriented tweet of mine, that got me banned to read only, probably permanently, unless Elon gives orders to undo those things

Re: Social Media: The New Nicotine.
twitter has far too many twits
in a way, my read only ban was a good thing, now I can waste my time on other things.

Re: Social Media: The New Nicotine.
I'm familiar with some of the twits in other venues, and they are reasonable people there. The medium seems to bring out the worst in people.

Most of Twitter is innocuous nonsense.
