The sad thing is that there are genuinely decent subreddits, even, and I hate to admit it, Facebook groups for that matter. Careful self-moderation on Reddit, Facebook, and Youtube can provide a lot of positive influence and information in your life, but it takes some work, and a lot of awareness. The defaults are bloody awful. Yet for myself, I read awesome spooky fiction on r/nosleep, I get great and almost instant advice on my truck on Facebook, and YouTube is teaching me how to make shelters with tarps and how to tie bowline and trucker hitches. I think, well I know, there is high quality content on social media out there. That it is being used to manipulate people and misinform people is a problem that will have to be solved. Or maybe it collapses and decentralizes like how it was before 2004. I'm sure we'll manage. |
