tzijlstra Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 :huh:So this social media forum that you are socializing on isn't a social media platform. Could you educate us as to the specific differences? no he can't because he hasn't got a clue what he is talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 The thread is about social media. Not forums. Fora are, by definition, social media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Actually there was a study into self esteem and facebook use. ---------- Post added 10-03-2015 at 00:00 ---------- You should look it up. Might learn something and be less ignorant. You know of course that in a debate you're supposed to provide the evidence to support your assertions, not mock others for not having read an obscure study... Perhaps with better social skills... ---------- Post added 10-03-2015 at 07:54 ---------- Did you mean this one though? https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/wired-success/201405/how-facebook-can-amplify-low-self-esteemnarcissismanxiety It can "amplify" not create. So I'll repeat, that's probably more about your friends than it is about facebook. ---------- Post added 10-03-2015 at 07:56 ---------- I particularly like this paragraph In theory, the social networking website Facebook could be great for people with low self-esteem. Sharing is important for improving friendships. But in practice, people with low self-esteem seem to behave counterproductively, bombarding their friends with negative tidbits about their lives and making themselves less likeable ---------- Post added 10-03-2015 at 07:57 ---------- I certainly think Facebook is linked to low self esteem, as see a lot of people looking to post for validation from other people. 'Fishing' for comments. Ergo, you have a lot of "friends" with low self esteem. Facebook didn't create that low self esteem though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubermaus Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 :huh:So this social media forum that you are socializing on isn't a social media platform. Could you educate us as to the specific differences? No mate. Social media refers to twitter, linkedin, facebook,pinterest etc etc. Sheff forum is a forum. The diff is this is a php forum on a certain topic or theme. I suppose you could argue its all social. But then again if using that argument why not throw the entire internet in the hat. ---------- Post added 10-03-2015 at 11:49 ---------- You know of course that in a debate you're supposed to provide the evidence to support your assertions, not mock others for not having read an obscure study...

ubermaus Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 The principle is the same, when you want help do you speak to people, or do you go online first. I go online for most information. The principle is the same then for all sites. Its all communication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 This thread is never going to have a balanced argument - going on a social media platform (and I reckon SF is SM) and asking whether social media has negative impacts. Much like going on a car forum and asking if the car is the devil's work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like going on a car forum and asking if the car is the devil's work It wasnt intented to be aimed at sheffforum. Because the forum isnt 'social media'. Its a community forum, php bb. It has a social elememt. But thats it. So to loads of other sites. Blogs, web 2.0 etc. Otherwise we could class all forums as 'social media'. Even car forums!

I suggest you look up Tim Berners-Lee on Web 2.0. Not in my book. Its a forum. What is a forum if not a medium for social interaction? Trolling again student grant. Tsk. Stating the obvious isn't trolling buddy, it is stating the obvious. You haven't got a clue what you are talking about. I'd like to know which "social forum" (your own words) you used to "co-run", I am going to file it under the category "big claims from ubermaus when pushed to think about his OP" until then.
