{1.2a2b} context collapse leads to information reaching unintended audiences without context

topics:

{1.2a2} context collapse can lead to information intended for one group to reach another without the necessary context to understand the purpose.
An innocuous Tweet meant for your small group of followers runs the risk of trending and being seen by thousands or millions of people who aren’t “in” on the joke — or whatever the broader context is.
- This often ends in poor-faith engagement at best; harassment, etc. at worst and commonly.
I feel like this is related to poe’s law, which essentially says that sincerity is hard to distinguish online; that’s exacerbated by lack of control over audience ({1.2a2a} social media decontextualizes our relationships by flattening our social network) and lack of control over performance ({1.2a1a} social media removes agency in our identity performance. )
