Lechera, no disrespect, but you seem to completely misunderstand what is going on in the hurt me meme!
― Je55e, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 21:34 (five years ago) link
it's not at all about oversharing
the joke is about the misunderstanding of the request "hurt me"
the person wanted to be hurt physically for sexual pleasure.
but the other person hilariously misunderstood and did something to hurt them emotionally.
it's all right there in the text.

I did wonder if LL was being arch about Jolene but tbh her v confusing reading of the "hurt me" joke, of which I have also not seen a version I found funny, threw me

Depends who you follow I suppose.I think this used to be the case but increasingly (maybe this is the new "algorithm"?) to be on Twitter at all is to be on all of Twitter. The whole design of the platform works aggressively against creating micro-communities in which (less chaotic, more coherent) "conversations" or encounters can take place. The supreme annoyance of Twitter is that it's a room in which all points of view and all forms of talking are taking place at once and responding to (at) each other--when in the real world for any coherent or productive kind of communication to take place you're already relying of a number of exclusions and simplifications (or reductions in complexity) of social space.― ryan, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

However much white noise there is, it hasn't been enough to stop connection forming. In my time I do see micro-communities (via group chats and the like) that develop when a few people find each other on twitter - and I reckon many of these then transfer to the real world connections so I am not sure it works as you say.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 23 August 2018 13:26 (five years ago) link
to clarify we did not meet on twitter, and at this point most people in it either don't use twitter or have it write-only. in my experience micro-communities do not form on twitter (or other social media) but are reflections of what exists in the real world already. which is what people don't understand about @ replying and why it usually isn't wanted
― aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Thursday, 23 August 2018 13:55 (five years ago) link
I am sure that much of it is a reflection of the outside world but I have seen people from different places but similar interests forming connections.
Besides, twitter allows you to restrict your notifications to see replies by mutuals only so that aspect is covered, for the most part. I see the fact that many don't do it (despite knowing of it) means that they are looking to hear others' points of view (although you often see people's patience being tested).

"hurt me" meme always reminds me of this (which i actually think is fairly funny)

they are just as bad as them Chris Williamson/Canary/Galloway acolytes, just the other side of the coin really. Marsan is thick as pigshit, though - although he'll put "Good piece" on some long read on the evil of Corbyn in between retweeting Streeting, you can tell he doesn't really read them!

We are tearing ourselves apart.
Twitter is not a "dumb site". Facebook isn't a "dumb site". I've a friend who was diagnosed with PTSD because of all the shit he had to moderate for facebook: decapitations, child-pornography... It's not the sites that are dumb; it's that we've created monsters. We want to say and draw and place photos of everything from nice to vile to criminal and... expect, somehow, these platforms can moderate that. Can moderate "us". People put so much out there, online, who could possibly moderate all that?
There are 19 year olds in Manilla working for Facebook having to press either a 'keep' or 'delete' button, preferably within three to five seconds, deciding on what we can or cannot see on facebook. Can't blame them for making mistakes. We are doing this. Same with twitter. Force-feed our first world shit through a digital medium and eventually someone in the third world will deem it inappropriate. It's how rotten we are.

We - 'the west' - outsource our moderation to third world, non-English speaking people, is what I'm trying to say. No way can we expect the biggest online free speech platforms to actually be there for free speech or moderation when needed. We created something but have given it away to underpaid and undereducated people, exploiting them. This is the reality. xxp

LBI your argument doesn’t actually hold up, because there is no industry consensus or standard practice on outsourcing moderation work, whether to neural networks, sweatshops in developing countries, or contracted native language speakers. You are right that humans are terrible, because duh, but “the system” is not even close to being as competent as you suggest.
