Good post.
Social media use works poorly as a means of relationship building. Anything confidential is hard to communicate over social media channels. On Steem, it requires the use of encrypted memos the existence of which is fully public if not the content.
Cutting off contact with someone is entirely possible in the walking world as well unless the person you do that to lives with you or lives literally next door.
Thank you Markku! There is an art to communicating over social media, one that is easily misinterpreted and can cause unnecessary harm. Abandoning someone in real life is completely possible, but it does require a little more effort and one might need to actually try and be nice to the person while doing so. If we go back 100 years or so, people lived and worked in small communities, where you would have to leave completely in order to avoid someone. Of course I am exaggerating slightly, but it is quite different now.
Yes, that is true. In our times, we consume relationships like any goods.
