It's a question as old as time itself, the history of the human race. Tools and how we (choose) to use them... Do we act on impulse? Hit our neighbor over the head with our hammer. Or, do we act with (good) intent (control impulse) and use our hammer to help our neighbor, build a house, a home, a community (of man)?
So true! I actually still haven't given up on twitter, but have been more purposeful about how I use it to engage the people I care about. AND I started a Mastodon account. ;-)
It’s interesting that I think this atmosphere has moved people to be lighter and a little more ‘real’… oddly, the circumstances have loosened us up a little. Probably temporary, but kind of fun to see.
Agreed. I'm feeling a bit of the collegiality and good humor that characterized the happy and carefree days of early twitter. It brings back good memories!
Masterful analysis and very well written!
