    That depends a bit on how you define social media. It’s social, in that it’s all about people communication with each other. Those are all social interactions.

    But it’s not based on following individuals, as much as following topics and interests. just like Reddit, forums, and as you said, Usenet groups.

    I hadn’t thought if it before, but yes. It’s far more like Usenet than anything else actually. Just modernized



  • Being a migrant is a real experience that happens to real people in response to real hardship. Not when your favorite website closed down your favorite 3rd party app.

    Being killed is a real experience that happens to real people in response to real violence. Not when some kid 360 no scoped you in fortnight.

    This argument could be made for a lot of of terms. I can’t imagine anyone is actually conflating being a Reddit refugee, with being a political refugee.

    Where is this coming from? Are you a political refugee? Have any political refugees asked you to pass on their concern? Are you speaking for political refugees without their consent?



  • There are so many problems on display here.

    1. Musk thinks his medical opinion is informed and important enough to overrule doctors treating individual kids.

    2. This news organization seems to think his uneducated opinion is important enough to report on.

    3. They’re misreporting what he said anyway. They’re conflating the very broad term of gender affirming care, with his more specific objection to nonreversible treatments.

    4. The lack of informed nuance in both Musk’s opinion and the reporting here, is why this shouldn’t be spread accept to discredit both the article and Musk.
