      1/ If you've played in online spaces for a long time, this resonates. But, if you've been on twitter since 2015, observations like these should be the autoclave you use to wash away any remaining cruft. https://twitter.com/Aelkus/status/1145496241138257921 …

      2/ You can react to and criticize political events and public figures on twitter. It gives you a sense of agency. But, it doesn't really change anything. You're just part of the din.

      3/ Chronically, this behavior creates a rut. And it's a short hop to, reacting to and criticizing reactions from reacting to and criticizing events. because they're not really different on here. It's inert reactions all the way down.

          4/ The attention constraint that twitter provides -- the collision zones between identities -- solves a coordination problem for entertainment more than anything else. `Trends` is just twitter shouting: "Game on!"

          5/ After the initial wave of reactions, you get fractal subsequent waves. Each one gets smaller and less loud, because it's sorta like a BZ reaction -- people enter a refractory period on that particular context.

          6/ Then something happens; twitter creates a synchronized context for it; and we do it all again. All the while, attention and energy gets spent on something that has as much effect as running repeatedly into a concrete wall.

          7/ (Caveat: The last one isn't actually true. Participation does change beliefs and stereotypes. I'm just far from convinced it does so in the way I'd want it to.)

          Relevant, I hope. At least, something I fervently believe, and wish more people would say.https://twitter.com/talitherose/status/1107771257871687680?s=21 …

          Everyone chooses something to love, and something to hate. If you choose concepts (fear / hunger), instead of people (race / disabled) you will go farther.
