    Recent calls for everyone to abandon social media have a certain allure, but I also think it's fruitless to resist such an all-consuming technological change. My position: engage, but with a critical distance. Strive to maintain awareness of how it distorts our concept of reality

        While it's good to have a small minority of eccentrics who completely abstain, the rest of us are tasked with figuring out -- incrementally and sometimes painfully -- how to incorporate this into our lives in a way that doesn't, I don't know, lead to mass psychosis

        Journalists sanctimoniously quitting Twitter because of "harassment" conveniently have other legacy dinosaur TV and print media platforms by which they engage the public sphere. Average Joe or Jane, not so much, so the platform is essential

        Personally, I think the future is in decentralized block-chain based social media platforms. Then, we can make money for ourselves, while posting, instead of making money for corporate America. There is much promise in experiments like http://Steemit.com  and @minds

        It's outrageous how social media platforms establish a monopoly, and then silence political opponents.
