Sun (npub1qh0…xeda) npub1mk7vq25s4wz2jtj9sjy4532fa25227j2lasxe33gpk0hh6wcmmnsn0q83x (npub1mk7…q83x) polarisera boosted your post 🙈 🙉 🙊 (npub18ht…rk0m) I think the internet makes it easier for larger numbers of people to learn about and participate in social experiments and explore ideas.
When I was growing up all sorts of information was not available and accessing fringe alternative communities likely meant sending off letters to join postal mailing lists but first you'd have to be able to learn who to write to
I believe that seeing communication explode to the modern internet today makes it appear the groups of badly behaving people keep growing at concerning rates. I think we'll harden ourselves to it, but it's always possible this is our inevitable downfall and collapse; perhaps unrestricted global communication may always descend into chaos. The old ways were also better for authoritarians with repressing of information.
We'll see what happens I guess
