Is online community empowering or disempowering...?
It can be seen as giving opportunity for folk to express their political and cultural debates, which can cover many a topic.
It can empower certain groups to form together who have similar interests and may eleviate people who struggle to find connection with like minded people in real life.
The disempowering bit would be that this can leave a false sense of identity for some as its a virtual connection not a realistic one until made real in reality etc.
Apart from what people can gain educationally, emotionally, spiritually etc they can and have spread around which are now very common, abbreviated words. The use of these words had spread onto phones via text, even written print to communicate with other people. And more annoyingly so when people actually say the words for e.g. lol !
The niche had become the mass.
As abbreviated terms such as lol and brb are now very common.
