    I’m not sure if they’re all that different. Early forums were very much similar to Facebook walls etc. Irc even had bot powered gamed and complex systems like user verification etc.

    There’s also the issue of scale. I don’t see any barriers or solutions in alternative network types like forums of irc that would be more resistant to social media issues


  • I disagree with this very western take. Social media is huge and connects billions of people that otherwise would be disconnect. It also allowed to rise of many net positive liberal ideas especially in the eveloping countries and the incredible economical stimulation is rarely talked about.

    People forget how bad the world was before internet. Sure it raises some issues but also solved much more.




  • There’s just so much entertainment and incredible creativity out there. I genuinely don’t understand allegiances like this.

    I love Sandman but tbh fuck that dude and I’ll go read one of other million alternative stories that often are just as good if not better.

    The competition in creative industry is just insane and switching is basically free compared to any other industry. Like, good luck switching from John Deere if you’re a farmer but Harry Potter fans have zero barriers and still can’t do it. Spineless, weak people.
