Actually, I bet you could find people that would like the idea of a social media platform that wipes your history or disassociates your account every January 1st. Like a musical chairs, but the chairs never get reused.
- gaius 8y agoNice idea but it would only work if there were no ties at all between it and your real world identity, no connections that knew who you really were, because the usual method of harming someone via old social media posts uses screenshots, not links. The Internet has radically changed since back in the day, you cannot assume good faith of anyone.
- angstrom 8y agoYeah, but that's getting to the very crux of communication: trust. If you're not sharing information it's pointless to call whatever it is 'social'. Anonymity is the form of least trust and you could argue the highest form of honesty. There's a very thick veil of soap scum on the Facebook ecosystem. Only the dumbest of the very tech illiterate are themselves.
