I think what you are talking about is ego or something. You want people to have ego. I don’t really care.
-
I don't want them to have ego, I want them to be embodied. Big difference.
-
Maybe I don’t want to embody my digital self. I embody my real body baby
-
I think the difference between anonymous and non-anonymous tweeting is that of playing poker with matchsticks and playing it with real money. In the former, both, extreme downsides and extreme upsides are taken away.
-
This is not a criticism. It's perfectly alright to play with matchsticks.
-
Maybe alright. The difference is twitter is an open system, and so the things you say matter to everybody. Playing with matchsticks and burning analogies coming.
-
We might be overestimating Twitter's ability to effect real life behavior. I'd say a negligibly small percentage of Twitter accounts affect any real change.
-
I'm not sure about that. Emergent behavior and all. Large accounts just steal from smaller accounts, and back down. Feedback loops. One little meme can have nonlinear interaction effects.

Negative hits because yes I can be wrong and yes people point that out. Information is neutral, it’s up to you to decide if it is positive or negative.
-
Information is not neutral. You are not separate from the world, you are embedded in it.
-
It’s neutral in the sense that you can choose to listen or not, you get to choose to have a positive or negative attitude about it. So if the mob interprets what I say neg/pos doesn’t mean they are right.
-
Only to a point. Most influencing happens subconsciously.
-
Is that built on preconditions though? But I see your point, especially when you consider trolling. Really I agree with you on trolling but not on pseudo-anonymity where I’m not acting much differently than I would irl
-
Yeah, I made a broad brush statement, and there are clear exceptions. I wouldn't take it back though. I think even with good intentions, anonymity culture can become cancerous very quickly.

If it was symmetrical then why would they spend so much time on it?
-
Who is this “they”, I’m talking about myself. I said earlier you could just be a troll but that’s not all anon intent.
-
Sorry, my mistake.
