social

Social capital runs on proof of work, proof of memory, proof of “care”. Social networks that advertise convenience are at odds with this, and devalue the interactions. 

I believe this is why we’ve seen a fragmentation of networks and a migration to chat & private comms from public feeds (eg FB/IG)

wdyt?

software, yapping, & asking "why?" 👩‍💻🎶🎤😴🔁

social capital also runs on proof of value (perceived or actual) as well.

i'm not clear on what you mean by "convenience" in this context though. can you shed some light on that?

i see what you mean. i biased, but i believe users should recognize the gap between an advertised convenience and its true purpose. choosing the right tool isn’t about ease. it's about intent. when the tool doesn’t align with the goal, it’s a user error, regardless of how it was marketed.

“proof of value (perceived or actual)” is such a good point

an example of what i meant by ‘convenience’ is “oh great all of my friends are on IG, I’ll post and everyone can see it!” rather than proof-of-work like “i texted *you* this picture because i want your take on it”
