Also, you wanna know why Facebook still exists?
Because it's not actively screwing over its users.
Furthermore, Mark Zuckerberg is brutally pragmatic,
and he actually gives a flying fuck about his platform.

But I digress.
In short, the era of "centralized social media" is finally coming to an end,
and I, for one, welcome the future.
EDIT: Clarifed that only centralized social media has gone to sh[HUZZAH]t.

I wouldn't say it's the end of social media, but we are in a time where it becomes more and more clear that the big centralized services we have now don't have the interests of the end user in mind once they "hit it big".

The annoying thing is that a lot of people come to certain social media because they can find some kind of content there to easily follow, rather than you know... the social aspects. I hear about platforms like Tiktok making the content of newly visiting content creators a lot more common in people's feeds because it builds them a follower base that will make it harder to leave, and it makes a lot of sense to me why that's a thing.
After all, why would you quit where you're popular to move to a platform not everyone might use? Want to still try to keep supporting both? Hope one doesn't tell you to stop 'advertising' and that you don't get extra work conforming to the format your posts have to be.


A bit of a cynical rant but in the end I have never really liked the concept of scrolling massive feeds (I tried twitter sorta, but there ended up being a lot of random stuff in my feed that I didn't really care about- partially due to following companies for news and info and partially thanks to a lot of retweets from friends), why can't I just filter to the posts of a certain part of who I follow, and only their posts?
I kinda hope that with the so called 'enshittification' we slowly start inching towards going back to older style networks where the content is the content you want to see, and not what the service wants you to see.
