OK Dave. I hold you in high regard, you have always been quite fair with me. I'll offer a couple of brief thoughts on social media.
First, I abhor a site that allows political vitriol to seep into every aspect of the site. I used Facebook for many many years, almost from the beginning. At first, I really enjoyed it. I could keep abreast of news in places I used to live. I connected and reconnected with friends and family (some from long ago) that I never thought I would meet again. Then came politics. I couldn't even make an innocent comment about days past in my old home town without getting reamed by someone with a political axe to grind when my comment in no way was political. It became endemic.
Second, does iHub intend to try to monetize what I have to say on the site? Say, I comment I like smoked salmon on the recipe board. Am I going to see force-fed posts or ads dealing with smoked fish based on my comment?
These are just a couple of things I hate about today's social media. Look, I know this is iHub's sandbox and they can fill it with whatever they want, be it clean white sand or dog crap. I just want to know what the new rules are so I can decide it I want st stay and play in the box or leave and take my bucket and shovel home.
I cancelled my Facebook and Twitter accounts over a year ago when the pleasure I derived from the sites became outweighed by the displeasure. And my life is better for it. It's a personal decision I can make IF I have knowledge of what the new rules are.
