Social Media Culture

Could anyone on Wikipedia describe on what is social media about and what their culture is like in modern times? How could social media be different than other subcultures in general? Can this have an effect on global world? Alternatively, would culture of social media include holidays, food, clothing, rituals, and media? Does this influence thinking? And for this, how can social media have an impact on national and local cultures, like India, Japan, Russia, South Africa, Sweden, Malaysia, China, and Mexico? Does culture have relavancy? 2600:1700:78EA:450:4537:9DB6:C80C:63DD (talk) 09:57, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is this another of your homework questions? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 11:37, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, this is not. 2600:1700:78EA:450:2406:5A80:A2E8:410D (talk) 16:37, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm sure there is someone on Wikipedia who could write a book of the necessary length to cover such diverse and complex questions. 207.11.240.2 (talk) 12:50, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think this user was previously blocked. (Compare Special:Diff/1111211428 and Special:Diff/1290524651.) ‑‑Lambiam 14:17, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Lambiam Hello there, that isn't me. It was someone else, this IP range changes periodically. Please take a look at there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2600:1010:B07E:C890:19BA:95A:4786:A68B

And I never made these edits, it was from a mobile IP range. 2600:1700:78EA:450:2406:5A80:A2E8:410D (talk) 16:35, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And this is shared by several users, I might be the one who added this [1]. But these range of IP address aren't me. And I never edited using this IP range in 2016-2019. And most of these edits from IP range do not belong to me. Here: [2] 2600:1700:78EA:450:2406:5A80:A2E8:410D (talk) 16:46, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So can you explain the fact that you added the exact same content today:

In 2021, it was announced that the library named "Ocean Sea Public Library," the largest library in Asia, would open in Hong Kong with new variety of literary works and a museum connected.

as did another editor in the 2600:1010:... range, likewise geolocating to the Bay Area, with the same egregious separation of an existing reference from the referenced statement? Transtemporal channeling? ‑‑Lambiam 19:20, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The same content was added in order to see if this content goes unnoticed and undetected for a while, and to see that if this kind of edit would last more than 2 years. That is it though. Transtemporal channeling would be a coincidence. 2600:1700:78EA:450:75E5:23D1:5B65:DBB4 (talk) 03:49, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's refreshing to see trolling admitted to. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 04:38, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Again, the IP range blocked, [3]

Was someone else from a different location, not me, because I stopped editing from this range after 2022. And all of these edits unrelated to libraries and Hong Kong, are not me. Since this shared range geolocated to various locations in this country, instead of the same location. 2600:1700:78EA:450:75E5:23D1:5B65:DBB4 (talk) 04:58, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

2600:1700:78EA:450:4537:9DB6:C80C:63DD (now blocked for block evasion) made edits yesterday, 15 May 2025, on these pages and sections (times in UTC):

The one but last was the creation of this section. So you are claiming the edit at 09:46 was made by another editor than those at 09:45 and 09:47? It defies belief. ‑‑Lambiam 08:29, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
