For those that grew up with social media, y’all know how great it used to be and how trash it is now just across the board, rampant with ensh!tification. Also the noticeable impact it has had on those born post 2000 can’t be ignored.

Question to the group: knowing what you know now, what would you like see in a social media platform? Or has it proven to be a net negative overall?

I hate social media (the kind with pictures/videos). I think it started going downhill when people started doing skits and selling them as real for clicks and monetization.

Starting to think I hate excessive globalization, as it leads to the erosion of local cultures.

I would like to see a ban for children under 18, across the board.

What I want from social networks is
- a personal presence, for which I use Facebook despite intensely disliking time spent there. So much clutter and fluff.
- a professional presence, for which I use LinkedIn, and which I use daily, to achieve specific purposes.
- political discourse, for which I use Substack and X primarily. For this, the essential feature is freedom of speech. A censored platform cannot host the responsible discourse required of citizens of democracies.
