I did not know reddit provided such a tight knit community. I have always been cautious of becoming to involved because I did not know much about reddit before this quarter. I was never that comfortable communicating with people I would never meet. Would you ever feel comfortable enough to reveal your true identity to some of your reddit communities?

I also chose instagram for this question. I am not artistic in any imagination, but I completely agree that instagram presents manipulating photos as easy and useful. It provides a much less intimidating outlook of photography. I also agree that it provides a great way to curate your memories through photos. It provides me a way to share my memories in an artistic style.

I hope you keep building SOCA’s audience. And I agree with everyone. Stanford is not the most supportive campus for extracurricular activities. I remember we had problems trying to get fans to come out to games during certain parts of the school year. You can’t make people show support no matter how much you reach out.

The education system I grew up in would probably be similar to a vertical network. Roles were concretely defined with rules and guidelines visible posted in the classrooms. The power disparity was obvious, but never questioned. Teachers were always right and students knew nothing. Much like in your experience, when I came to Stanford, a more independent style of learning was introduce much more like in horizontal networks. Having the ability to speak up for yourself was a major difference in my learning experience and ultimately, motivated me to learn certain subjects on my own.

I have seen similar suggested rules during #blacklivesmatter protests. I did not pay them much attention, but now that you mention it, it does seem controlling to monitor poster’s content. That being said, I think some of rules such as these are put in place to control a hostile environment such as #blacklivesmatter protests. I think in some instances, it was to help protect the image of the protest as a whole. Much of what people see and hear about protests such as these comes from whatever the media chooses to post. So I think some of these rules are implemented to protect and clarify the overall message.

Wow. COLLO represents a great cause and need in the Stanford community. A few of my friends were artist and I remember them having the hardest time to book on-campus events. Its nice to see a student run organization who is looking to bring attention to Stanford’s great artists.

That’s an interesting perspective that is hard to argue with. It seems as if we are challenging each of these three tenants in our everyday online activity. We are becoming more and more trustworthy of online interactions. This is due to the fact that every industry is transitioning to be more technologically savvy and dependent and we as consumers must adapt. This places more of our experiences and interactions in the virtual world. I think these three tenants will continue to disappear as technology advances.

I would have to say that I do too hold back certain aspects of my personality in face to face interactions. I would much rather explore that part of my social interest online where I would not be judged by my immediate friends. I would have to admit that I have the case of “identi-frag,” but I don’t think my whole self is fully represented online. Much like I would hold back a part of my personality in person, I do the same online. I do represent myself differently depending on the social media platform/ group, but I think certain parts of my personality would still not be fully translated through my online profiles.
