Shaggar posted:i think this is more arbitrary distinction to try to force a line between old internet and post-web 2.0 internet when there is no real difference, just more people. It seems like an important distinction to me. Reddit is way more popular than SA, and people probably make friends there, is it a social network? I would say no because the focus is on subreddits which are about specific topics, not people. I don't join reddit because my friends post there, I join it to look into things I'm interested in and maybe I make some friends while doing that but it wasn't the goal. Facebook is/was ostensibly about keeping up with friends and family, and making plans, and sharing racists memes. It's also about relentlessly monetizing those interactions which change the experience

Twitter was interesting imo because you could do it either way. I never had any irl friends on Twitter, so I gravitated towards people posting about things I liked (comedy, computer stuff), so in that sense it was more like the forums if you just focused on those weird little communities, but plenty of people joined Twitter because their irl friends were there and used it like that

Shaggar posted:algorithms are just one mechanism to try to get you to engage with other users' content, but its the engagement that matters to the network, not the algorithm. you wouldn't be wrong to argue that these are all points along a single continuum, but also there is significant value in drawing a terminological distinctions between e.g. timestamp-sorted posts in manual curation of topics on the one hand, and algorithmic sorting and curation on the other hand. they incentivize and produce different behaviors in their participants. labeling all of this just "social networking" elides some rather salient differences between them

shackleford posted:well i was curious what wikipedia thought about the definition of social network and welp this article is a mess In its latest incarnation, the abbreviation appears to have been helpfully added to the top of the page by someone who works as an SEO marketing consultant because they noticed it appeared below without definition. It seems like it was originally defined in its first usage on the page as an abbreviation of "social networking site" within a quote from some sort of market research report on social networking sites (so the other instances of SNS were probably meant to mean "social networking site" rather than "social networking service" and were not intended to imply that SNS is a commonly understood abbreviation), but that definition was later removed A lot of wikipedia pages have a weird vibe as if they were written by chatgpt but apparently in reality just because they have been produced by a series of incremental changes by humans that don't really take overall consistency into account mystes fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Dec 19, 2023 |

Internet Janitor posted:what puzzles me is how services attract the non-creeps for creeps to creep upon Yeah I wonder how that math works. I can charge a creep 500 a month to creep on people, and we expect them to scare off 1-2 users per month. Or can we "accidentally" allow some bots onto the site? Then the creep might be harmlessly chatting with a bot, but now our good users might be chatting with them too and that might drive them away. So could we show more bots to the creep vs average users? Then the creep might wise up and there goes that 500 a month I saw a different article mention that speed dating is making a comeback. That sounds exhausting, but I think if I were still dating I'd give it a try

you can't have infinite growth with a service where if you give the user what they ask for they stop using it clearly the solution is that we must destroy the concept of the long-term relationship, for the health of the economy
