Is usenet not social media? It's definitely more social than the likes of Twitface and all the other systems that the young badly brought up phone junkies use. Honestly, I don't think the young are the problem. It's the middle-aged failures which are often the instigators of abuse. Apart from the professional ****-stirrers; Katie Hopkins et al. I suspect the average age of usenetters is greater than that of the twitterers, so most of us will have grown up learning how to interact directly with other human beings, even when we disagree with them. And yet Usenet is just as full of hateful/annoying/abusive trolls as the other forms. True. In fact, the worst abuse I've received online has been on Usenet. I'm an avid user of Twitter and it's generally a more pleasant experience. Can't beat Usenet for direct help from knowledgeable people, but, god, the dicks are annoying! True again. Another point, IME most young people don't use usenet and prefer farcebook and ****ter. Depends what you mean by young. School-age teens are all on Snapchat as their main form of social media. They are also on Twitter and FB but mostly to follow groups setup by other organisations e.g. DofE, school, clubs. But yeah, Usenet is the dominion of the middle-aged or older. |
