More virulent in that it spreads farther faster, but also in the fact that *it never goes away.*
Those embarrassing moments you and I had when we were kids? They only exist in the memories of the people who were there. In my experience, there are maybe a small handful that I think anyone reliably remembers and, even then, the edges of those memories have been softened with time.
Now, those moments exist everywhere, forever, on-demand, and in HD, whether you consent or not.

@jargoggles@kolektiva.social @stveje@mstdn.social This is it. It's not localised and it never goes away. 'even then, the edges of those memories have been softened with time. Now, those moments exist everywhere, forever, on-demand, and in HD' - that's a great observation. Even more depressing to realise - yes, the moment someone wants to forget is preserved too perfectly.
