How you're treated is more important than how much you like someone. Read that again

There’s probably amazing archeological discoveries that won’t ever be found because they’re under historical buildings.

genuinely think that twitter culture has actively harmed people's perception on what activism truly is

the way twitter culture actively manipulates and warps people's minds into thinking that if you truly stand for something you have to talk about it and retweet posts about it 24/7 with no breaks and if you take a single break to collect yourself and distract yourself with something that makes you happy you're not really in support of whatever the incredibly important thing that's going on at the moment is is an incredibly dangerous thing to propagate and is actively harming how people approach these topics

I think this is true, but I think it’s part of a larger and more general problem of, essentially, being observed all the time, and also having the record of that observation be permanent. I would argue that this is the same phenomenon as several other problems attributed to social media:

  • increased obsession with appearance, especially of appearance of health/fitness (being skinny, wearing makeup); fad diets
  • increased obsession with “the grind”/efficiency; monetizing hobbies; influencers, especially “child influencers”
  • scrupulosity wrt what people say; “wholesomeness”; purity culture and cancel culture; evaluation of language over message
  • FOMO; compulsive documentation; keeping up with the Joneses style staged photographic evidence; apologizing for being offline
  • expecting people to be available all the time/being expected to be available all the time; entitlement to celebrities’ personal lives; oversharing and demanding information from both friends and strangers

Anyway, anyone born into the new millennium has grown up with the expectation that they are being watched, always, about everything, and it’s not even wrong. And it ends up with them conflating wanting to do the right thing with wanting to look like they did the right thing to future historians. Which is a topic I think Internet Safety should delve into, except I don’t think anyone gives kids those lectures anymore.
