ToBillsFan Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Just wondering if any posters here are active in the Twitter spaces. I thoroughly enjoy them, especially the ones led by Bills fans. It’s interesting to hear others teams views of our players and it is very entertaining when things get heated between teams fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can talk all day about Facebook tho Agreed. I have no idea what they are, or even the instagram channels, movies, videos or whatever on top of someone's page with the regular IG posts. You can post a video in your IG posts, so I am not sure what the stuff at the top is or why it is necessary. Can you now post to IG from a computer? I hate using cell phones. And now those YouTube shorts confuse me. Snap Chat is even more confusing, to the point where I won't even touch it anymore. I don't know why there is an obsession by young people with social media. There is no need for it. Edited August 3, 2022 by chongli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's that people in their 20's or below are ultra young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dablitzkrieg Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 It's basically a chat room on Twitter that anyone can speak in. I think it is moderated so people can be muted if they are out of line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoMAn Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) Somehow, I managed to live a reasonably full life for 50 years without following or being followed on Twitter when it first gained popularity. I get that a lot of people enjoy the interaction, but TSW and occasional Facebook is about all the social media I want to indulge in. I don’t want to be one of those people (especially the under 30 crowd) walking around staring at my mobile device all day like a damn zombie. I went to The grocery store yesterday, and from my car to the doors of the market I saw no less than three people walking towards the entrance with their eyes glued to their phone. What are you so afraid you’re missing?! I keep thinking if someone were to transport in time from 50 years ago to now and could see this activity, they’d think we’d all been hypnotized or gone nuts. I’m starting the believe that may be the case. end of morning rant 😉 Edited August 3, 2022 by SoMAn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 For those of you who, like me, have no friggin' clue what a Twitter Space is .... https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/spaces Spaces is a way to have live audio conversations on Twitter. We’ve been testing and building this in the open with @TwitterSpaces and your feedback so we get it right. We love how it’s shaping up, but there is much more to come including new features and updates. Stay tuned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think most social media has been pretty bad for general mental health and society at large. And I think it is more than just the lack of actual social skills that people develop. It goes a lot deeper than that. But yeah. I check Two Bills Drive and that's about it. I used to check Facebook, but I unfriended everyone except my direct family members and it was literally like being unshackled. I felt free after doing it. I can't imagine being chained to multiple services at the same time, like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. Although I do appreciate the Twitter addicts around here who scoop the relevant Bills news for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not anti-Twitter or any of those platforms. I love access to so much information. But like anything else, moderation seems like the best course. I'm from the pre-internet, pre-cell phone era, and developed social habits without those vices. We had to organize meet ups and schedules remotely, through communication from (gulp) the landline phones that mom, dad, or some other person might answer when it rings (no caller ID of course) OMG! I just have to shake my head when I see a family sitting together at a restaurant, all ignoring each other and staring at their devices. Sad. I'll be back in a few minutes to check on if I got any 'likes'. Edited August 3, 2022 by SoMAn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no need for it. Agree except by some TSW is called social media. When I was working classified jobs I was told to avoid posting personal information on social media but with amount of data mining and other ways of getting data I do not think there is anyway to avoid it. I do leave tidbits of false information out there and watch it get passed around. I got a birthday card on my 75th birthday from a company with connection to an ad which it got my birthday from such a tidbit. FYI My birthday is February 29, 1959. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benderbender Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Yeah just look at how unplugged and social everyone was before cellphones. That’s living life and being present. 🤪 But seriously, this is an interesting read. https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/this-generation-will-be-fine-why-social-media-wont-ruin-us/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
