Yeah, good point. And the low-drama local discussions are one of the areas where Facebook is still most useful, so it makes sense to build a separate service which can provide for this even better. The problem is, I think there is a real need to discuss larger-scale issues, especially in a time like this. So I think the best medium for this might not yet be found. |

Is there, though? How many of those issues are a consequence of expecting everyone to have an opinion on larger-scale issues, creating infrastructure that allows everyone to voice those opinions, and then having the ad industry cancer metastasize and grow a great, ugly, self-sustaining tumor over it?
Right now, we're surely doing too much shallow talking with too much emotions pent up in it. We need to find a different way to discuss this, one that doesn't degenerate to drive-by engagement.
