After looking at the various Letters for Black Lives contributions, what do you think about social media’s potential and limitations for growing the “tree” (Hope, 2019)?

affirmations (e.g. “great job describing/pointing out/analyzing…”,), or
questions (e.g. “what do you think…can you clarify….?),or
sharing of related points (e.g. “what you describe reminds me of…”), or
generative differences (e.g. “I see what you mean, but I thought the opposite because….”), or
referrals (e.g. “since you describe/like this, I think you will also enjoy/find interesting….”
