re social media - I would hate to think that JKR is more interested in getting the attention of people whose area of work is basically parasitic of others, eg journos and academic.
I would also hate to think that JKR would be more interested in gaining the attention of a small elite!
But at least she is gracious enough to deign to mingle with ordinary folk on facebook.
Stats for 2023: In February 2023, Meta's Facebook held approximately 53.54 percent of the social network market in the United Kingdom, while Twitter accounted for approximately 17 percent.
As an old time grass roots radical feminists I find it disturbing that anyone would put a higher value on talking to people who are just talkers and observers, rather than making direct contact with those who may well be activists.
This may explain why there is so little IRL activism eg local groups lobbying councils etc., as the impression given is that a tweet is an end in itself.
But the other side of it is that so many women rely on having their feminism filtered through (curated!) for them by someone who writes an article mainly made up of things already said on facebook or even FWR, and they go all fan girl rather than questioning why someone should think they are so above the rest of us that they wont communitcate directly, but are happy to steal our ideas and our words.
Disclaimer! None of the above paragraph in any way refers to JKR.
But accept that given how sloppy and lazy journalists are you have to stoop to their level to get their attention. Though always remember some important reporting going on about and issue that had become a "twitter" war. So I thought there must be more to this than I realise. Only to find a thread of at best 10 comments.
If 10 comments of twitter is a war, what does that make many threads on FWR - totally breakdown of civil society and anarchy running amuck AND women having opinions!!
