What's wrong with social media

lack of clarity of purpose in communication https://mastodon.social/@trwnh/110043721490119630

you are partly Publishing a Post to your Profile… but you are also partly Discussing a Topic in the replies/“comments” (where there isn’t a real “topic” actually) https://mastodon.social/@trwnh/110078983668243890

this is anecdotal but i found that with the rise of twitter, people started blogging less and going to forums less… twitter kind of filled both roles, but worse.

and it is worth pointing out that “social media” is a failed model created by capitalists to enclose the open web https://mastodon.social/@trwnh/109999278215935738

it’s fine to entertain yourself, but entertainment and communications should be separate https://mastodon.social/@trwnh/109999287012650419
