| 1 hour ago | comment | added | keshlam | Usenet did have its share of flame wars, endless digressions, and so on; it could be quite uncivilized at times. And technically it was a somewhat different environment, since it was a discussion forum rather than stack exchange's ambition of becoming a crowdsourced FAQ site. (I haven't heard anyone claim SE is not social media, but I'm not surprised that some do.) | |
| 8 hours ago | comment | added | Rushi | Those old enough to remember USENET would remember a more informal civilized world. Ppl were not reduced to a rep. no. And yet it was generally known whose word carried weight in what sub speciality. That Google groups has shut down shows that world to be past tense. That AI rules over us via gamified human relations is now not a dystopic imagination but current reality. [Its funny ppl say SE is not a social media site — part of gamified delusion?] | |
