What I currently get out of social media:
- giving me a space to write down my own thoughts
- getting clarity and dialogue on them from others
- learning about interesting things
What is missing for me:
- feeling part of a community
- forming solid, long-lasting friendships
I have a bit of a tendency towards isolation so I could do with changing my own patterns of behaviour, but I also think social media platforms could do a better job of nudging you towards actual social bonds.
