Thanks for this post, it’s something that has been bothering as of late.
I like that these important topics become more discoverable, but worry about the lock-in that occurs when we move discussion to social media. For those who choose not to participate in Twitter or Facebook, it becomes harder to keep up with much of the movement.
Let me be transparent here, I’m worried about this particularly for my own sake!
I can’t control my time usage on these websites at all. I have to keep twitter, facebook, etc. blocked completely from my devices or I won’t get anything done.
It feels awful that I can’t keep up with potentially great discussions by wonderful people on twitter (and Rob Wiblins fantastic hot takes on facebook), without participating in media that leaves me anxious and stressed.
Maybe it’s just me who has this issue, but I want to voice it in case I’m not the only one.
