<div dir="ltr">I've lately run into two mentions of "group chat" as the organizing principle of social media for the day. You keep different groups for different purposes, and you don't let social media into the chat. I think Friam actually functions as a group chat, aside from google scanning everything. But technically it's a Gen-Z thing, so we obviously don't know what we're doing.<div><br></div><div>It was a neighbor group chat that busted the Ted Cruz Cancun getaway plan in February 2021, while Texans froze to death or were bankrupted by spikes in electric rates.<br><div><br></div></div><div>-- rec --</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Aug 15, 2022 at 8:53 AM glen <<a href="mailto:gepropella@gmail.com">gepropella@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">It's an interesting question. Someone posted a poll on a Mastodon server recently, something like "What is it you want from all this stuff? (E.g. Twitter, Facebook, ...)" The possible answers were things like "Friendship", "Connectedness", etc. There was an "Other", which I filled in. I wrote something like: "The state of the world. When I was younger, I read the newspaper and watched the daily news on one of the big 3 networks. Now, it feels like everything's all fractured. TV news is for ancient, out of touch people. The newspaper is neither local, nor does it tell interesting national or international stories. So, I use these media, like 12-20 different outlets just to get some sense of the state of the world."<br>
<br>
I wish I had a better answer to "where do you find this stuff". It can be exhausting trying to stay informed. Fora like FriAM help a bit.<br>
