I appreciate the effort but as a person who has quit all social media, these more intimate, private spaces are served by messengers. For me, specifically, it's Telegram and it does an absolutely bang up job of it.
You're going to be outstripped in sheer features here to say nothing of stickers, round videos, the upcoming transaction layer in the TON, bots for pretty much everything, so on and so forth.
Social media is just a name for "broadcast widely", which has never been my interest. Messengers are that smaller scale.
- danfang 7y agoThanks for your input. I've never been really satisfied with the level of interaction of messengers. They usually end up as a firehose of short messages, where everything meaningful and important is lost in the noise. It's good for quick notifications, for sure. What I'm imagining, for the types of things that I like to do with friends and family, is more oriented around long term social interactions. This means being able to plan and view events, view and split payments, and build a persistent group album -- to start. When I'm sharing videos, music, or recommendations, I don't want it to get lost as soon as it reaches the top of the screen. This is where messaging falls short and I believe it can be supplemented by a lot of the features of traditional social networks.
- criddell 7y agoDid you ever use the short lived social network site from Microsoft (I think)? It was designed as a room that people shared and you could post messages and photos and play music that everybody would hear. I don't remember the name, but I think it had a number in it.
