Claiming a social "network" without useful DMs is OK seems like masssive cope to me.
- oytis 2y agoI dunno, I'm pretty old and am used to an Internet without walled gardens and super apps, using different tools for different tasks, so seems fine to me. But I agree it would be convenient.
- lynx97 2y agoYeah, I am also rather old, so old that I started with FidoNet before I got Internet. However, I have to admit that I grew used to the fact that it is easy to contact a node in my social graph, without having to go hunt for their email, or maintain my own contact database. After all, the social network should be about people, at least to me. I don't care about corporate pages on social networks, they might as well only exist at normal websites outside of the walled garden. I guess thats my point. In my book, social networks are about people. And not being able to easily contact people is pretty much useless.
- seba_dos1 2y agoI'm using Mastodon with DMs completely disabled and it's better than OK. Its only use on Twitter was to receive spam anyway.
