When did you notice all the bitterness creeping into the Coli?
- Thread starter Complexion
- Start date
This fairly secular forum is just a micro example of the larger forces throughout all online and social media engagement.
The vitriol directed at women, is especially repulsive, because it is so degrading, so prevalent, and so transparently divisive, and the hostility aimed at like healthy regular conversation. if I posted something like "My friend T is so cool and sexy, she's just gorgeous", like that's a normal, non combative statement, neutral/positive someone will post "She's a whore, and you are a simp" within minutes, or something close, which is LOL but not really.
That was a hard thing to watch grow and grow. A fascinating shift has been the turn towards online omnipowerful presence and influence, remember when being online was pejorative? Or app based dating was "for losers"?
and now it's the opposite. What kind of loser would want to meet someone in person? ughh.

How Social Media Influences Our Behavior, and Vice Versa
Max Fisher’s “The Chaos Machine” examines the psychological impacts of technology.
this lays it all out pretty compellingly
what social media/online cares about is ENGAGEMENT, and what they found drove more engagement than anything was conflict. It's really that simple.

Yurrrrrrrrrr
The Coli used be that platform where folks would just blurt out funny jokes/witty puns that will make your ribs hurt. Joyful laughter. Letting the good times roll.
Then the diaspora wars created by agents made the forum more divisive and divided. Reason why a lot of foreign posters exited out.
Nowadays a lot of threads are themed on the hatred and bashing of women based on social media posts. Hurt energy being spread around. These topics get beaten to death like a dead donkey.
It’s mostly TLR
There’s gems found on TheColi just have to look for them
