    This meme pretty much sums up all social media. Heck, it basically summed up Usenet beck in the 1990s, minus the pandemic and the reach of Facebook and Twitter.https://twitter.com/statsepi/status/1378433555454386179 …

        Usenet was more fun.

        Yeah, but there was definitely a late spam/troll onslaught phase where groups that weren't cohesive enough to have a uniform response (don't feed, block) got shredded.

        Its an interesting commentary on public behaviour that social media, so different in so many ways, follows the same failure mode patterns as Usenet (Former usenet admin)

        The explicit following makes it worse, but yes.

        Going to follow you just because of the solid Usenet reference. The science is a bonus.

        If this is true, I would actually feel comforted knowing that these groups do not make up the majority. But it certainly doesn’t feel like it.
