The main social media platform I use is the ultra-retro #Facebook. I enforce civility, and I have had good experiences with interesting dialogues. If you want to start to use it, would be pleased to promote you to my Facebook circle.

[Steve Kelman @KelmanSteve]

@donmoyn interesting, thank you

[Steve Kelman @KelmanSteve]

In light of #Musk's appalling behavior including vile anti-semetism, I am wondering whether I should get off #Twitter entirely. Don't use the platform very much, but so use it sometimes. What advice would Twitter friends give me?

Saw image @TheEconomist from new #Barbie movie alleged by senator #Cruz to endorse China's nine-dash line claim in South China Sea, supposedly so in China's good graces to allow more American movies. Look at the image. Contention is totally absurd. @donmoyn @LDDSOG @joseph_dai

@BW reports "after years of speaking about role in public discourse, #Facebook no longer wants to feature news prominently." Are "more than enough amazing communities -- sports, music, fashion, beauty, entertainment -- to make a vibrant platform." @donmoyn @LDDSOG @kwooleyy

UN report: #India lifted 415 million people from poverty 15 yrs. Numbers often given for #China 800 million in 40 years. Population about equal. Suggests China achievement greater, but India not bad

#China government published figures number of cremations in one big province in recent quarter. @TheEconomist did extrapolations, estimated 1.6 million excess deaths from #COVID in period. Compares with gov figure 84,000. Data quickly removed from internet @joseph_dai @donmoyn

When the new Chinese premier recently visited #Germany, #China demanded that at joint press conference among the two parties there be no questions from journalists. @pjmooney @joseph_dai @donmoyn @JBersentes @janeefountain @janeriklarsson

Saw article in Medium on how people's voices deteriorate as they get older. As if I didn't already have enough to worry about!

#German friend on Facebook asked me to explain what #bagel was. He's from East Germany, even today less Westernized than West Germany, he was probably never exposed to these.
