>I am of the opinion that, to give the users the most freedom to let their personality shine, the social network itslef should be as boring and generic as possible. This sounds like the Thatcherism of social networks. "There's no such thing as a community, only individual posters". The sort of desolate environment that you get as a result of this is exactly what people are increasingly shunning. It's why people move to private chat groups, subreddits, niche twitter subcultures with memes that nobody even understands from the outside (intentionally so). This very site is strongly opinionated as well. The logical endpoint of generic platforms is the Youtube comment section. If a social network is supposed to be social it has to be about something. There needs to be something that ties the people in it together. Any video game speedrunning community, music subculture, whatever have you is more interesting than generic sites. Even if you have to move between groups sometimes, that cost is well worth it. The real world doesn't work like this either. Does anyone ever go to the "generic people meetup, where we do generic things"? Everyone is part of social networks, plural.
