While watching the video I couldn’t stop thinking about the fediverse. It’s basically self-organized social-media. While it is far from perfect it is so much better than the corporate alternative in terms of relevant content. I’m just sad that basically nobody I know personally actually uses the fediverse…
I feel like an algorithm that sucks you in is what makes a social media platform popular. But an algorithm is part of what makes social media so toxic.
I love that the fediverse doesn’t have ulterior motives, but that might be why it never becomes mainstream. I’d choose smaller crowd over toxic tho.
