 I wonder if social network bubbles follow the rules of Conway’s Life game. Even if social networks were supposed to join people socially, all they do is exactly the opposite; they put people into bubbles. An ability to ban strangers gave an illusion that everyone around thinks as we do. And then we go walk through offline and boom. A weirdo in the tram asks not to fart them in face and we are not prepared to such a rudeness. How dare them, we banned everyone not enjoying our farts decades ago. 5 comments
 @mudasobwa on the other hand, it is nice to have an option to get rid of the guys who are making fun farting in your bubble. And by all means this is still an option, not a compulsory. You can not coerce people to join - deprivation of banhammers/silencers will lead to places getting abandoned. @willpraxis but the whole world is such a place and last time I checked it has been fairly overcrowded. Ok, substitute farting with having a tattoo, or even different point of view. I exaggerate all the examples I start with. @mudasobwa yes, I see your point and generally agree. But I believe that uniting with others through pushing your bubble boundaries gradually is a more viable strategy than doing so through self persuasion that tolerating farts in your face (or anything perceived as ones) is for your own good and it is better to take a deep breath to suppress your reluctance. @mudasobwa It still has some space to keep the distance, otherwise there were no bubbles. |
