And the more I think of this the more I realize that this is coming from my time in Micro.blog. Micro.blog kinda trained me to do so, it encourages interactions, to reach out to others and I think this is a behavior we have lost in other social media places

Exactly.

@Gabz @smokey I think part of the behavior is related to trust in the behavior of a community too. On twitter, my account is locked down and I barely interact because so much of the reaction to disagreement is vitriol. Here I can respond to something and, even where I disagree, generally expect a pleasant back and forth.

@sproutlight that’s true, it’s like everyone on Twitter it’s always on the defensive. Like people on a highway.

@frostedechoes yeah, Micro.blog kind spoils you a bit. You kinda expect the same type of interactions but nope!

@Gabz I like that analogy of Twitter being like people on a highway! What a great comparison.

@Gabz “social” media in general needs an overhaul. Not sure what it looks like in the future, but hopefully better than what it is currently.

Lately I’ve been feeling like an old man yelling at the neighbor kids to get off of my lawn: “Stop posting on someone else’s website! Get your own blog!”
