How do you form an independent opinion of a SOCIAL media site 🤔 If you try it, you’re necessarily relying on the opinions of the users of the site (they must like it, else they wouldn’t use it). Or you can be actually intellectually honest and ask your existent social (media) group (that you probably have some alignment with, else you wouldn’t be in it).

There’s a difference between asking for consensus opinion and actually forming your own. And gossip has always been an important part of making decisions on who and what to associate with.

Thinking for yourself is great. Just make sure you actually know how to do it instead of just parroting the sentiment to sound cool.
