meta’s charter is to be the “world’s town square”, google / youtube routinely dodges monopoly cases by asserting they're an ads company instead of a search or video company, beyond just collecting a lot of data about users these platforms are designed to captivate a large number of users to farm a large amount of data about
beyond the effect that has on their recommendation algorithms that makes them so much more potent than print or word-of-mouth in terms of “conversions”; it makes them *where* you go to look at / for your interests. the mass of these platforms pulls every single one of us to them, and has so severely neutralized alternatives that every single person active on the social internet is either entirely or primarily “influenced” by the social internet. only *then* are the hypereffective recommendations pointed at us show us stuff that would be a safe bet we’d be inclined towards so (maybe) we buy it
and maybe we do bc what’s the alternative, magazines?

Name change (something shorter and more poignant)
Posting on people’s walls (maybe this is a bad idea bc some people can be mean)
More customizable profile options (not too much tho, customizable color pallets and additional moving graphics to the stars, simple stuff that still keeps the unified look of the site)
Clear organization of posts based on their topics, maybe being able to post to boards (so many emojis can mean the same thing)
All of this to say I love this website
Nothing has made me feel closer to the internet I grew up with
No big corps or mindless distractions, just people <3
