One of the things that I'm finding with social media is that it has a broad audience and there are so many people looking at it it's amazing!
So when I go to use Twitter I take them at their word. I use Twitter as a microblogging site. I still believe in the 140 character limit, even though Twitter has expanded that to 280 characters and I go up to 200+ characters often. But I basically post to twitter on multiple accounts of things that I think can want to talk about and then I never look back. I posted and make it available to people and then never look back it seems like everybody wants the whole circle jerk idea of post then get everybody's comments then comment on the comments thing. I just post and leave it out there for people look at. If people want to get upset about what I'm posting or they don't like what I'm posting they can comment on their own blogs or microblogs but otherwise I don't care.
I think that this approach actually reduces the amount of negative energy on the Internet. While I may post something negative about others and things happening, my posts are dead-end streets where it's me and it's what I think. I don't want to have a conversation with anybody. I don't want a reason and get along with anybody. I just want my thoughts and ideas on the Internet so that 200 years from now when people go in they do research on the thinking of 21st-century humans they will run across my posts and go all here somebody that thought differently than the rest of the herd. So it wasn't a cohesive unit.
I think that the strategy of some groups is to flood the historical documentation with their bull ship in the hopes that 200 years from now people will think that they had the majority view. I've never kissed a man even though I'm male. I have no desire to have sex with a man even though I'm male. While the idea of abortion appalls me I understand why women use it. But I disagree with it. I think that socialism sucks. And I hate using that term. Socialism leads to authoritarianism. And I don't think any of my liberal friends understand that they will lose freedom if socialism takes hold.
That's just me! If you have a problem with the way I use social media don't follow me.
