Loqi [indienews] New post: "No more platforms please" https://world.hey.com/dhh/no-more-platforms-please-8f01445e (from https://aaronparecki.com/2021/03/26/8/)
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "viral" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "viral is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# 
[tantek] viral is an adjective used to describe posts that are shared very broadly very rapidly, usually on [[silo]]s, often due to some timely aspect of the post, like humor related to current events, or a well explained summary of an otherwise complex issue, or both, almost always eliciting a strong emotional response which motivates rapid sharing.
# [tantek] viral << Criticism: 2021-03-26 [https://world.hey.com/dhh/no-more-platforms-please-8f01445e No more platforms please] <blockquote>Despite its obviously ominous name, "viral" has long served as the top trophy for the platform people. Has there been a better year than this to attempt a cure? Virality is a bug not a feature. […] This constant quest for virality might make good ideas burn 10x as bright, but also 10x as short.</blockquote>
