Jay JacksonLooking back at Social. My 1st instance of social came from eWorld, Apple’s own online service. With that it actually had moderation within the chat channels to keep people on their best behavior. Last winter I deleted all Meta networks & it took a two year process to completely devoid myself from those platforms. With Elon taking over Twitter & just the extremely poor terrible person himself, it took me minutes to remove it. Moderation matters, bad behavior isn’t a good model. Positivity WINS.
And you know what!? Don’t miss it. I think good content wins the day. Podcasting, YouTube, Audio Books and localizing private chat groups is the new social. It cuts the noise way down and it dials in on a very cool positive focus. And also social media probably should not be the conduit for news. Use a News app instead and avoid the pontification of hate or lack of respect when posted on a social media forum.
