This was a very interesting read. Hard to predict how social media platforms will look in 10 years
Don't care, never will. I have abandonned all interest in social media, and centralized platforms that rely on targetted advertisements and that just keep selling your identity to corporates, through lemmy I have learned that MORE control (over your life) an some times bring MORE peace of mind. Right now i have quit fb and instagram, and for it im a happier and more cerene person
I still miss Google+, my friends and my sharing is based on the subject not my relation to my friends.
I'm in a few sea kayaking Facebook groups which are pretty active, and being based around a common interest, there is some genuinely good conversation happening.
It's a shitshow outside our little walled garden though, I just post about my trips and that's it.
I just finished a riveting couple of weeks watching my neighborhood chat devolve into accusations/almost outright war about a stranger going around moving trash bins/furniture to... Prank? Apparently? But everyone was picking sides and I was waiting in anticipation for the obvious reveal...
IT WAS THE WIND
A lot of my groups have moved to Signal from FB, feels a lot less dirty using a community platform vs a filthy advertising company. Now I just need to get a phone not developed by an ad company i.e. Alphabet Inc.
But I don't know anyone to be in a group chat with! That's why I use social media 😭
At this point facebook is like a needy ex that won't let go. I haven't posted or logged on there in a long time but it keeps on sending email and push notifications
I know, I can turn that sort of thing off, but omg will it STFU already
