CMV: I think social-media has made us overly literal minded and homogenized society

I see a silly joke or a light-hearted statement on a site like Twitter and it's pretty much nothing. For instance, someone mentions it's sunny today, and a horde of people tell them it's not sunny where they are and how dare they think they're the center of the world...

Obviously this is an over exagerated example, but I'm just making a point.

Also, please note, I'm not taking aim at anything like political correctness or social-justice, as I think those can be good things in of themselves. This is more about the homogenizing effect that social-media has had on society globally over the last 15/20 years. I heard it said social-media is a lot like letting a mass of people invade your inner thoughts. People are now policing their own ideas and values in keeping with the internet at large, and, obviously, I'm not sure that's a good thing.

And yes I'm aware of the irony of this post being here.

As someone who grew up in the 90s and 00s it seems that social media has done the opposite of homogenizing society. 

Obviously there are echo chamber problems with social media and people purposefully or algorithmically are funnelled into the like minded hive. 

But at least you encounter the opposing view regularly and know where to find it easily. 

In the past this wasn’t the case. You think social media is homogenized, try living off social media in the past where your only sources were like 3 newspapers and your community were the people who lived in your neighbourhood. Unless you lived in a very diverse city, it was way way more homogenized - racially, religiously, sexual orientation, class etc...

As for literal minded , I’m not sure what you mean by that.
