A series called "How to Practice Social Justice This Election
Season Without Being a Jackass" wouldn't be complete without an
episode in which we talk about the scene of many crimes of
jackassdom: social media.
After all, the ways that we communicate in virtual platforms
are quite different from in real life interactions. We can edit the
things that we say. We lack the nonverbal context of understanding
what happened before the interaction. We don't see how other people
respond, which makes it easier to disconnect and
dehumanize.
In this episode, Julia and Jeremiah talk about:
Hiding behind
avatars
The physiology of online
interactions
Shame and virtue
signaling
Gotcha moments
Short form vs. long-form content, and other social
media to-do's.
