More questions will be added as event approaches.

​

1. When did you start using social media? How has your experience changed since then?

2. What do you think of this quote from the first article linked below?: "The moral isn’t to stop listening to ideas you find uncomfortable or people who don’t agree. It’s to do it in real life, not in the digital equivalent of a pub notorious for glassing at chucking-out time – and preferably in ways that don’t make Musk any richer than he already is."

3. Many people are comparing their current experience on new platforms like Bluesky to the early days of platforms like Twitter. Will these new platforms degrade as well?

4. Can social media be redeemed? If so, how can we help as individuals and small groups?
