Quotes:

“Social media is hyperactive”

The terms social network and social media are used interchangeably now, but they shouldn’t be. A social network is an idle, inactive system – a Rolodex of contacts, a notebook of sales targets, a yearbook of possible soul mates. But social media is active – hyperactive, really – spewing material across those networks instead of leaving them alone until needed.

Ian Bogost, 10 Nov 2022 from the essay “The Age of Social Media Is Ending”
