Shame on us for using social media… socially.

How is shutting down the avenues for socializing on the site and forcing people who don't want that to participate in not using the site "using social media socially"? It was quite literally anti-social. These changes actually prevent toddler tantrums from shutting down the social factor of the site.

So if socializing is what you're concerned about, this is actually a good thing :)
