Milcom MiasmaRemember when they said the internet was going to change the world?
We probably should have asked for more details.
tj usiyan@mmiasma Ok but it kinda feels like it *didn’t* change the world. These are all of the old problems but intensified.
I don't disagree with you about it distilling and intensifying some already existing problems but I think it gave rise to some pretty dramatic disinformation that found purchase among the most gullible. The whole "do your own research" crowd that were so much fun to deal with during a pandemic. I don't think we'd have seen that volume of collective behavior pre-internet. But hell, I've been wrong before. 😔
