How does social media engage communications?

One of the important features of spreading information through social media is its simplicity and speed. The time it takes for social media to engage in the production of information and to publish it is very short. People post their views and opinions on the latest topical social issues, current affairs and politics on social media right after the facts, and as soon as news emerges, it is quickly summarised in a short text and posted on the web. Once this is posted on the web, the post attracts people interested in the news to click on the link to the site to view it and, possibly within minutes or hours, the news is spread around the world. As an example, a mass stampede occurred in Seoul, South Korea, on Halloween this year. Because of a Halloween party, nearly 100,000 people gathered on a small stretch of road to participate in the party, resulting in up to 150 people dying from being trampled. The news hit the Chinese news charts just a few hours after the incident.

Is it inclusive?

The internet world is more inclusive than real life, as what cannot be complained about in the real world can be poured out online, and what cannot be understood in the real world can easily be found online. People who use the internet to interact with each other choose their online social partners through common interests. This criterion increases the level of trust between the two parties, which greatly stimulates people’s initiative to interact. Let’s use JitterbugTikTok as an example. On the Chinese version of TikTok, many people meet each other through short videos/live streaming and then meet and party offline when they get acquainted.

In my opinion, A good PLN depends on its content. A useful content often makes whole PLN attractive. Moreover, giving your own thought is very important as well.

What are the benefits of a diverse and inclusive PLN in social media sharing that understands where you are coming from with messaging that impacts the community?

For people sharing on social media, a diverse and inclusive PLN has many benefits. First of all, having a diversified PLN means that creators will have a wider space for dissemination, which can help people convey their opinions and information more effectively. Secondly, inclusive PLN can attract people from different fields, and at the same time increase the number of its own followers. With the increase in the number of visits, the influence of the content will gradually expand.
