In response to "I disagree; on social media platforms, reach is everything. Reach feeds the algorithm." by Beryllium

Truth. It's similar to the bully philosophy. If you ignore them, they lose their power.

Creating a critical mass of outrage over something stupid someone has said only empowers the stupid and does nothing to negate it.

If I post something on social media and no one reacts to it, have I really posted anything at all?

OTOH, if you don't call out then others in the 'reach' will accept it as a valid idea. IE: anti semetic/racist -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 2, 12:11
In a perfect world I would agree. But it's not like it's not going to get amplified if people don't call it out. It just goes out without context or - pmb Sep 2, 11:40 1
- Mop is talking about "This is an outrage!" raging. That's different from all this admirable context you expect from people. - con_carne Sep 2, 13:00

  - I can't tell if you're speaking to Yashar or me, or what your overall aim is, so maybe I'll just clear all my posts with you before I continue .. -- (edited) - mud Sep 2, 12:08 2
    - A quote tweet is a retweet of a tweet from another user with a comment. - con_carne Sep 2, 12:50
    - I meant mop and the others. I'm saying that you're right, it does need to be called out, just in a way that doesn't feed the monster. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 12:27
I ask myself that very question most days. (NM) - Marlowe Sep 2, 11:16
