Maybe the world would be better if we just didn't have a service that allows everyone to shout whatever is on their mind in to the internet void? I'm glad X is

  > Maybe the world would be better if we just didn't have a service that allows everyone to shout whatever is on their mind in to the internet void? The older I get and the more syndical I seem, the more I agree with this. The problem is its no longer just "the internet void". That would suggest that nobody ever reads some of the nonsense. It should have been obvious though when you give everyone an opinion that their ramblings are some kind of 'insight' and should be heard. It's exhausting, I hope the next stage of social media is it's boycott. /rant

    I remember the backlash to livejournal among the web forum community that I frequented over a decade ago. Little did we all know that in just a few years the entire internet would pivot to the most inane, short-form, self centered and low information content possible, and that most people would become addicted to it.

  Seems like many people disagree, but at least a few of us know this is correct. More people will learn the same lessons eventually, though not likely enough people to stop history from repeating.

  Personally, I enjoyed old!Twitter, and am glad that there are two (or charitably three, but I don't really _get_ Threads) viable replacements. No need for you to use it, naturally, but I'm glad it's there.

  Forums. Back to forums. Heavily administered/modded, stay on topic, small communities. No, not (sub)Reddit.
