Reposted by Marcus Gilroy-WareAxel Bruns @snurb.info · 23/11/2024Fun fact: Every. Single. Person. who makes such claims fundamentally confuses the concepts 'community' and 'echo chamber'. (Not specifically directed at you, @jessmaddox.bsky.social - I'm just sick of still seeing the 'echo chamber' metaphor float around 20 years after it was first debunked.) 23711
Marcus Gilroy-Ware @mjgw.bsky.social · 21/11/2024Lots of us migrating onto here so probably good to introduce myself to new followers: I'm a writer and researcher at the intersection of digital platforms, politics, cultural studies and critical theory. Currently based at SOAS. My most recent work is on Andrew Tate, Tiktok, and reactionary children 161
Marcus Gilroy-Ware @mjgw.bsky.social · 21/11/2024Seems similar on here as on Twitter in the earlier years. But I hope we can learn our lesson from what happened to Twitter. What made it useful and fun for us was precisely what made it a source of value for the worst aspects of capital: our communication and affects centralised and stored. 030
