Queenstown NZ - Social Media Trends

Posted 27th June 2017 to the Advocate South Newspaper Winton / Te Anau


Hot Topic:
It is interesting to study populations by their online Community, Southland I think generally has a helpful healthy bunch of Facebook moderators who
can handle community discussions..

Queenstown is interesting though as they only had one community site and it was like the lord of the files in there, ask a simple question and you get some
Intelligent conversation but also slings and arrows by what appears to be spoilt kids armed with i-phones and curse words.
Post anything they find controversial in that town and they all go up like a tinder box.

Sad to think that nice people don’t actually like to visit Queenstown like they use too.  Perhaps they checked out the online community!
It WAS a well loved place full of history and charm, Today nobody can afford to live there except for outsiders with bags of cash and trust fund kids
With little or no feeling of community or history.

Perhaps some Southland Facebook moderator might want to go in and fix this but It would be a hard road indeed.
