@Reywas92: I've reverted your redirect. There's plenty of coverage, just Google "coronavirus + social media". ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:13, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
This is beyond dumb, these links are pointless. Wikipedia is not Know Your Meme or a compilation of trending hashtags. What’s encyclopedic about “The funniest coronavirus jokes” and wash your hands songs? Reywas92Talk 16:35, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Alternatives? I started this page based on Donald Trump on social media, but acknowledge Trump uses social media, whereas the pandemic does not. ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:15, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
I'm not going to go back and forth with this editor, but I'm curious what other editors think about Wikipedia's coverage of trending hashtags related to the pandemic on social media. I'd like to see more content added, not removed. ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:54, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Great job on explaining how COVID-19 have increased in counseling services for mental health. However, could you include some mental health counseling hotlines like their phone numbers? Or include data of how this service has increased before and during COVID? The sources in the bibliography sections are all really reliable sources. Great job on remaining neutral and listing an organized table of content for the readers. Interesting points on how COVID is affecting people due to shelter in place protocols for health reasons. Another potential thing to be fixed is headline "Spreading information" could be replaced with "Increased in media outreach" to make it more formal. Other than that, well written examples of how this pandemic increased in screen time and tech usage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yenxle (talk • contribs) 00:51, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I have added this section to explain how social media has seen a sharp increase in usage in terms of messaging/video call services, online mental health services, and entertainment. I moved the "Memes" section to here, as well. Pearl748 (talk) 07:05, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

This article could have a lot more information and facts about how specifically this pandemic has affected social media. You mention in the first sentence of the lead how social media is affected by the pandemic but there isnt really any more information to back that up. You have lots of references but its hard to understand the topic with the lack of evidence provided.

I'm looking at adding some information to Timeline of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic from November to December 2019. Specifically I'm interested in documenting or finding information about Weibo account XiaoShanGou (微信公号“小山狗”). If the account still exist I would be grateful for a link, especially a post from 28 January 2020 (1月28日).

Hello, I'd like to suggest the addition of a few well-sourced sentences about TikTok. I'm not making these changes myself because I work for ByteDance, TikTok's parent company.

Global downloads for TikTok went up 5% in March 2020 compared to February.Generally for COI edit request, particularly for paid editors, the more significant claims should have multiple sources. The gross revenue not having multiple supporting reliable soruces, it has been omitted.
Hi, I have just adapted the section on BLM as the language used seemed slightly partial.ClarenceTheCat (talk) 15:53, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
