The internet was not a mistake
Social media was not a mistake
Allowing Corporations to dictate and control both of these things was the mistake.

@noondlyt imho social media was flawed long before corporatisation and that played a key role in the rapid enshittification. Its a case where faking it in 80/20 style is just not cutting it. We need to think more about which features of "real" social interactions help maintain some sort of sanity.
@noondlyt case in point: random people posting short opinions, with little context, to unknown audiences and random strangers seeing posts among the incessant firehose, again almost entirely due to chance, replying with their own opinions etc. 🤣
You couldn't design a more flawed, socially-illiterate system if you wanted to. Maybe there is something wholesome in the missing 80% of required work that would make social media viable, but remains to be seen (assuming the corporaticos allow it)
