> I think the whole point of social media is to connect us to the wider world. I can't agree with that. I signed up for social media to keep in touch with friends and family, not listen to the crazed rants of their distance acquaintances and marketers. By the time I left, all the actual organic friends and family content was buried by the mountains of irrelevant spam. I'd totally pay for a service that's limited to only people I care about and know. I can get my outside engagement elsewhere. I want an intimate space, not a town square.
