A Like Can’t Go Anywhere, But a Compliment Can Go a Long Way
“A like can’t go anywhere, but a compliment can go a long way. Passive positivity isn’t enough; active positivity is needed to counterbalance whatever sort of collective conversations and attention we point at social media. Otherwise, we are left with the skewed, inaccurate, and dangerous nature of what’s been built: an environment where most positivity is small, vague, and immobile, and negativity is large, precise, and spreadable.”
A good reminder about how social media distorts and skews our behavior, often into meaningless actions.
