The very worst thing about social media, including this site and the Bad Site and every other site, is the illusion that by posting on it you’re accomplishing anything.

How do you know? Isn’t that a Republican myth? Why does Putin use it to spread disinformation? I’d say that’s a clue to how powerful it is. Meanwhile national media, funded by Trump Republicans goes on a bender to attack Biden and completely ignore Trump. @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Careers have been ruined, that's not nothin'! But if by accomplishing anything you mean anything good, then yeah, pretty much. Sometimes sharing of information and opinions could theoretically change someone's mind though, or let them see it in a new way at least.

You’re right, social interaction is pointless. I’ve been typing my fingers to the nub in these posting mines since 1996. I thought I would’ve saved the world by now but my life is a lie

I’m really sorry it doesn’t do the thing you think it should do. That’s definitely a problem with social media, and not a personal issue. Definitely

if this is your big takeaway for why social media is bad then you are using social media all wrong. i’ve been educated with social media and i’ve educated other with social media. hell, half my generation knows about the genocide in Palestine because of informative content on tiktok and twitter.

Cynicism isn't not-exhausting just because it has the illusion of cleverness.

One post is like one beat in a larger pulse. It can briefly reinforce the thoughts of at minimum the author. It is good, egoless, freeing that a post is very unlikely to be truly viral.

I'm accomplishing venting. But then if you think about it, just about everything you do, if not everything you do. Accomplishes a lot less than you think it does.

I dunno, man. I think the collective output of Disability Internet has saved my life and sanity. Sure, social media contains plenty of venting and frantic, useless flinging of blame and bad ideas. It also contains a LOT of other things.

It’s my main access to much-younger-than-me people and the confounding way they express themselves. A constant and useful reminder of my near-irrelevance (See? What 40-yr-old talks like that?)

But then why did Musk way over pay for Twitter and Trump set up a sparsely attended echo chamber that hemorrages money?

You're right. To prove your point, I'll plug my artwork in your comments as evidence that nothing of any merit, tangible or imagined, ever comes from posting. All handmade by me, all built with pipe cleaners- not that this matters because social media accomplishes nothing, why go on; amirite
