Dear #netartizens: >>>> "Whatever the magnitude/form, online dialogues appear to be flooded with antagonistic commentary.² Mez Breeze
I ask this question: Are the online forums doomed to positioning, attacking, & posturing as Mez alludes, or do we have the desire or the inclination to create, build, and develop something new & alive & energizing & monumental in the networked ³social sculpture" of the list? Randall Mechanisms of Exclusion: ³We Are All Faceless Mobs Now, Dawg.² New article on Furtherfield by Mez Breeze. Mez Breeze examines the inner workings of our contemporary internet rage machine to identify its social and psychological causes. "Today¹s online spaces are communication minefields. When interacting in multiplayer games or social media niches, networks come drenched in reactivity bile. And although we might seem to bile-dilute, instead we intellectually saw at each other through a polite veneer. Here, civil discourse is label-trotted. Discourse bile may also erupt in balls-to-the-wall screaming matches. Such bouts involve trollbaiting, d0xxing, and Internet Rage Machine power-ups. Whatever the magnitude/form, online dialogues appear to be flooded with antagonistic commentary." http://www.furtherfield.org/features/articles/mechanisms-of-exclusion _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
