  • I guess, yea, I just don’t know of any way to check this, even a name for it. The wikipedia page obviously does not have this sort of characterization, chatgpt just bullshits this:

    • Facebook: Like Las Vegas - flashy, attention-grabbing, and always “on.” Both Facebook and Las Vegas are known for their vibrant, energetic atmospheres, where people come to connect, share, and have a good time. Just as the Strip is always bustling, Facebook’s News Feed is constantly updating with new content.
    • Reddit: Like Tokyo - eclectic, fast-paced, and full of hidden gems. Reddit’s diverse communities and Tokyo’s unique neighborhoods (e.g., Harajuku, Shibuya) share a similar spirit of exploration and discovery. Both offer a wide range of experiences, from quirky to fascinating.
    • LinkedIn: Like Zurich - professional, efficient, and well-organized. Just as Zurich is known for its banking and financial sector, LinkedIn is the go-to platform for professional networking and career development. Both exude a sense of reliability and stability.
    • Twitter: Like New York City - fast-paced, opinionated, and always “on the go.” Twitter’s real-time updates and NYC’s frenetic energy share a similar vibe. Both are hubs for news, discussion, and self-expression.
    • Instagram: Like Los Angeles - visually stunning, creative, and a bit superficial. Instagram’s focus on aesthetics and LA’s reputation for glamour and celebrity culture make them a good match. Both are known for their beautiful visuals and emphasis on presentation.
    • TikTok: Like Bangkok - vibrant, playful, and a bit chaotic. TikTok’s short-form, entertaining content and Bangkok’s bustling streets and night markets share a similar sense of energy and unpredictability. Both are popular destinations for those seeking excitement and fun.
    • Snapchat: Like Ibiza - carefree, spontaneous, and focused on the moment. Snapchat’s ephemeral nature and Ibiza’s party atmosphere make them a good pair. Both are about living in the present and letting loose.
    • YouTube: Like San Francisco - diverse, innovative, and a bit quirky. YouTube’s vast array of content creators and San Francisco’s eclectic neighborhoods (e.g., Haight-Ashbury, Fisherman’s Wharf) share a similar spirit of creativity and experimentation. Both are hubs for self-expression and community-building.

    Maybe it’s something that has never been taken seriously enough to characterize systematically: city “personalities” and social media “personalities” and yes…it depends on who it is that is viewing it…tourist, inhabitant, commuter…

    Well, I posted here a ridiculous story about angry far right protesters storming military bases in Israel for daring to punish soldiers for rape and the story got summarily removed for not being oniony enough, so I start to understand your suspicions.
