Ravelry: discussion topic - Abusing The Ravelry Powers That Be? on 2009-03-15
- Agreed >=Kind of a “If you can’t say something nice, then feel free to leave.”
  
  Wield the banhammer on the schmucks!
- What is wrong with people is that they walk around with that chip on their shoulder that says “The world owes me so I can act like an a$$ whenever I feel like it.”…These are the same idiots we see on our roads with the road rage and acting like they have no sense. If I was the administrator over the board, I wouldn’t have bothered to post these rules. I would just automatically ban them and delete their account and create a database that automatically denies entry to a person with an email address on the list.
  
  It’s amazing how people have no respect for others!

  1. You own your information. Facebook does not. This includes your photos and all other content.

- They curate their online personas as carefully as possible, knowing that everyone is watching — but they have also learned to shrug and accept the limits of what they can control.

- “I outsource my entire life,” she said. “I can solve any problem on Twitter in six minutes.”

- - It is also possible, though, that this profusion of weak ties can become a problem.
  - “parasocial” relationships
  - Danah Boyd
  - awareness tools like News Feed might be creating a whole new class of relationships that are nearly parasocial — peripheral people in our network whose intimate details we follow closely online, even while they, like Angelina Jolie, are basically unaware we exist.
  - Facebook drama.
  - high-school friends were uploading old photos of her to Facebook and tagging them with her name, so they automatically appeared in searches for her.
  - detagging the pictures
  - a common plague of Facebook: the recent ex.
  - Yet Ahan knows that she cannot simply walk away from her online life, because the people she knows online won’t stop talking about her, or posting unflattering photos. She needs to stay on Facebook just to monitor what’s being said about her.
  - participation isn’t optional. If you don’t dive in, other people will define who you are. So you constantly stream your pictures, your thoughts, your relationship status and what you’re doing — right now! — if only to ensure the virtual version of you is accurate, or at least the one you want to present to the world.
  - it is especially difficult for them to opt out.
  - parties simply began banning all camera phones in a last-ditch attempt to preserve privacy.
I’m So Totally, Digitally Close to You - Clive Thompson - NYTimes.com on 2008-09-07
- human groupings naturally tail off at around 150 people: the “Dunbar number,” as it is known. Are people who use Facebook and Twitter increasing their Dunbar number, because they can so easily keep track of so many more people?
- Many maintained that their circle of true intimates, their very close friends and family, had not become bigger. Constant online contact had made those ties immeasurably richer, but it hadn’t actually increased the number of them; deep relationships are still predicated on face time, and there are only so many hours in the day for that.

- - But where their sociality had truly exploded was in their “weak ties” — loose acquaintances, people they knew less well. It might be someone they met at a conference, or someone from high school who recently “friended” them on Facebook, or somebody from last year’s holiday party. In their pre-Internet lives, these sorts of acquaintances would have quickly faded from their attention. But when one of these far-flung people suddenly posts a personal note to your feed, it is essentially a reminder that they exist.
  - Sociologists have long found that “weak ties” greatly expand your ability to solve problems.
  - wrote a tiny note explaining her problem, and within 10 minutes her online audience had provided leads to lawyers and better accountants. F
