Its inevitable that online social media platforms will split in two types.
The type I that attracts those with something authentic to say.
And the type II that attracts those with something to sell.
The first type is the future fediverse. Its the 15%. The art house cinema. The colorful city center street. Flexible, innovative, human centric, low budget, soul nourishing.
The second type is Meta-stasized and coming in X number of mutations. Its the 85%. The strip mall. The plastic, fake, mass consumption machine. Lucrative, manipulative, exhausting yet unavoidable for the titillation addicted masses.
There is no way you can eliminate either one of the two types in the short term. Type I was created against incredible odds. The future will be a bit easier. Type II is, alas, the embodiment of dazed and confused, unsettled society that is unlikely to heal anytime soon.
So let us part ways and live in peace.

- mr_00ff00 3y agoWhat social media is Type 1? I feel like the history of the internet is social media apps starting close to Type 1 and becoming Type 2.
- tamimio 3y agoThank you, that’s how I see it too -maybe with different ratios-, and that’s why I’m happy to see the traditional corporate sponsored social media platforms are crumbling like Twitter/Reddit/threads, it’s overall and in the long term better for societies.
