Social networking has its place, I'm just not convinced it is a place for deeper conversation. The internet has this awesome potential for disseminating information, yet tends to get used by retards shouting louder than everyone else. Activism on facebook even coined its own nickname, slacktivism.
I'm all for activism, protesting, and all that but... I just don't see much of that going on with facebook. I see a lot of posturing, I see a lot of allegations being slung, I see a lot of people repeatedly posting the same thing over and over in different groups.
I had all but given up on tti activism when i got an email from HEAL. Apparently someone hacked them and I was blamed. Angela, bless her, posted that she was certain it wasn't me and so on.
I mean now, I'm just sort of confused, people left to facebook because they were looking for something different? They were thinking fornits was a toxic forum?
And they kept doing the same exact shit that they were doing before?
Anyhow, bit of a disjointed rant.
I plan on posting here more, I've had a couple very strange things happen in the last two weeks. Not sure I feel like talking about them publicly, but in short, one of the fellows I worked with tracked me down and we had a talk via email. Nice kid, he's about to graduate university and will be going to law school. Oh well, 1 out of 2 ain't so bad I guess.
Mostly I log in to check to see if any moderating needs to be done.
