creates an “me and them” mentality. Does this mentality then seep into real life? #450SocialSP23

Baym’s opinion of digital communication technologies highlights the third-person effect and the warped perceptions it creates in users of social media. On social media platforms where we all act as autonomous individuals, perceiving others actions as “alien” compared to your own

@peyton7622 Absolutely I have! I come across fake news on Facebook for the most part, as fake news is often reposted by those who take it to be true and is spread to the masses that way. I usually ignore it, but when I see that a loved one is interacting with it I try to steer them away

@brynnthomas517 An example brought up in class that I agree with is school shootings- in a climate that has been largely desensitized to those types of events, reports concerning things such as the numbers of deaths are often unvalidated and inaccurate- but all in the spirit of being first

@Skirp_Rawdogin One of the things that struck me as significant in the chapter is that Trump helped change the very definition of fake news… the idea of fake news having the intent to deceive has been altered to include things that do not intend to deceive- changing the fabric of news media

@Josephigley It would be easy (and within reason) to say that we will become less truthful- but I believe there is a growing hunger for truth in Gen Z. We’ve grown up in the misinformation age and seen first-hand what it’s done to us, so I believe rational heads will prevail. #450SocialSP23

@peyton7622 Non-verbal communication is key when it comes to “flirting” in-person, with body/eye movement often indicating intent (and often leading to the misreading of situations). Limiting these non-verbal cues online allows for friendship without misunderstanding.

media when face-to-face conversations come to a lull? #450SocialSP23

[Reilly Chappell (School) @reilly_school]

In the Lesbian Café, the creation of a fantastical “physical world” within the chat group allowed participants to refer back to their imagined surroundings when conversations started to slow down. Is this in anyway similar to how we refer to things we’ve seen on social (1/2)

(2/2) Is part of our incessant picture-taking due to not wanting history to forget our place in it? #450SocialSP23

[Reilly Chappell (School) @reilly_school]

Many experts, including Baym herself, have called this era of massive technological advance one of the most well-documented times in human history. In part, this documentation is due to the photos- including selfies- we’ve taken along the way. (1/2)

@RehkemperLainey As far as technologies being “new” or not, I don’t have an answer… I would imagine when a product from the same developer is released more recently, such as a new iPhone meaning the prior one is now “old”. It’s amazing how quickly domestication occurs nowadays.

@brynnthomas517 It’s real tough to recognize your own filter bubbles, because almost everything we receive goes through them… my question is, how does one gain exposure to things outside their filter bubble in the algorithm age?

[Reilly Chappell (School) @reilly_school]

@Josephigley One of the biggest moral panics of our generation is almost undoubtedly over the teaching of race in schools- I’ve always found it ironic that we grew up learning about the denial of history only to find ourselves in a culture where we are repeating the past #450SocialSP23

Baym’s first chapter contained many interesting insights, but none more captivating than their observation that cell phones have privatized public spaces. Please, keep your dirty laundry at home… #450SocialSP23
