This week for Social Networking Services, I continued and found new groups and communities to interact with. For Reddit, some of the new groups I found include: BikiniBottomTwitter, OddlySatisfying , and CasualConversations.
My reaction to finding to this group was pure excitement. Having grown up watching Spongebob, seeing Bikini Bottom memes brought a lot of nostalgia. I didn’t expect to find more interesting groups after my preliminary search.
Another group that caught my attention was CasualConversations. It’s a group where you can discuss pretty much anything. Even it’s description is “The friendlier part of reddit.” I found it funny talking about grilled cheese and tomato soup, but found it nice to see many other people sharing my food cravings.
I chose to continue to interact with MarvelMemes because I found to understand its content the most. I thought the post was clever because it said Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Girl were leaked, but was just a picture of Mr. Fantastic and Drax. I asked, “where did she go,” but of course she’s just invisible. The post made me really excited for the tiny possibility of The Fantastic Four and Avengers being in the same movie.
NoStupidQuestions also had a lot of content I could relate to. I found this particular post funny because I also thought TikTok was just another sort of Vine but rebranded. Seeing a post reflecting my exact thoughts gave me like a WOW moment that there are other people just like me.
For Twitter, I browsed the explore section and found it stored stories into sections depending on the topic. It felt different looking for content through sections instead of groups. But I did find some interesting stories in the news section.
This story caught my attention because misinformation not coronavirus caused mass chaos. Reading through the comments, other twitter users agreed in banter that people need to be more cognizant of their information. This story shocked me that such events could happen.
While browsing the sports section, I found that they listed points of recents games, and I found that convenient. I didn’t expect to find much in the sports section because I don’t watch a lot of sports. But that was a nice relief in my exploration.
Also, I continued to interact with fast food companies. This time around I didn’t receive much comments back from companies. I did think in this post that it should have been pizza and wings instead of just of pizza.
I found this tweet relatable because I like pineapples, and it was nice to see other people who like pineapples too. I commented pineapples and ham because obviously pizza should have ham and pineapples.
For Tik Tok, I looked for new hashtags that I could follow. It was interesting to see Reddit and Twitter had more groups and sections to chose from than Tik Tok hashtags. Tik Tok had a list of its hashtags but no categories or organization with their communities. This made me feel at unease because finding communities were difficult.
One of the hashtags I started following is #gummygame. I thought it was pretty crazy to have a filter that let you play a gummy bear game. Seeing this post brought me a lot of satisfaction because it reminded me of snapchat filters.
#Perfectmeal was another hashtag that I started to follow. I liked their hashtag because they show food making videos. I’m also a big fan of macarons so seeing a bunch of macarons made pretty happy.
#Photography101 was another hashtag that I really liked. I thought it was really neat that they were doing a Star Wars themed photoshoot. It was funny that they brought along BB-8 as well. It brought me a lot of nostalgia because I used to take photos for models and companies.
