IDK if randomly jumping into a thread I’m not a part of is cool, but being new to the platform I searched relay and this was one of the results and it’s so interesting! It prompted me to think about how it’s kinda strange/ironic how little connecting with new people, building relationships and being social has become on social media - at least in my own experience. 

But it also presents the opportunity to do something different if that experience applies to a lot of people and not just me. If social media is the main way people get, view or interact with  information, then any sort of expert in a certain field is helpful, but we also don’t want to create a “digital caste system” with social media that kinda reminds me of that 2016 Black Mirror episode “Nosedive”. 

 Anyways - thanks for sharing your thoughts unfiltered it was quite refreshing to read!
