Can we just say that we really dislike the spectator aspect of forums like Reddit& #39;s "Am I the Asshole" or "Relationship Advice"? We avoid Reddit, but they even get cross-posted to Twitter so people who have nothing to do with the situation can boggle at it.
We want to acknowledge that we& #39;re as guilty as anyone of reading these things. We& #39;re trying to stop, and it would be nice if they didn& #39;t show up everywhere on the web.
It really feels to us, lately, like the spectator sport aspect to social media is a huge part of its negative effect on society.
For several years now, we& #39;ve been chewing on our thoughts about the negative effects of fan-out on social media, and where we& #39;re at now is that it& #39;s good when you& #39;re promoting something, but bad otherwise. https://twitter.com/ireneista/status/1062515481616117760">https://twitter.com/ireneista...
