Was chasing some historic posts this evening...which led me to notice that SerScot hasn't posted in twelve, almost thirteen months.

Does the Watch constitute "Social Media"? Gosh - I suppose it does, and after all my haughty dismissals of "I don't do social media"! It's my guilty secret. :)

I consider KW superior to most social media, since content isn't driven by votes and likes and whatnot. (Imagine having that system in the 'Tank.)

I understand why those systems are popular - and they can be useful, but I think too many people take it too seriously, and that's not healthy.

From what I hear in the shop it seems that much animosity between people is generated by what is posted on Facebook, much no doubt innocently posted in the first place or indeed simply misunderstood because of its ambiguity or the lack of care of it's wording.

The Watch is an early form of social media. And funnily enough, it seems that despite the whole FB / Twitter / Instagram thing, forums on the whole appear to be hanging on.

I suspect social is often too broad...if you want specific, you go a a forum, or a sub-reddit, or something like that.

True that ;)

To my mind people get bent out of shape pretty easily these days .. like its a thing to get pissed off about as much as you can ..

The allure of self righteous indignation .. lol

Being pissy all the time likely has shitty knock on effects for your long term health and wellbeing.
