  • One quote that jumps out: “It’s difficult to say with certainty what the causes are, but Facebook has made no secret about its intention to deprioritize news on its platform and give greater precedence to video content, which by nature results in less clickthrough traffic."

    It does feel like my Facebook “algorithm” is constantly trying to push “shorts” on me…annoying little videos clearly meant to imitate, I assume, Youtube Shorts, Tiktok, Instagram short videos, etc…

    Broadly speaking, with all that’s happening in the social media world, it feels like some sort of reckoning or change is coming, but where exactly things are heading is hard to say…





  • Love the idea of smaller “indie” social media communities without any profit incentive, just purely spaces to socialize and hang out. Also appreciate that there’s solid moderation against hate speech etc. Otherwise it’s still clear that it’s a new and growing thing and perhaps there’s some uncertainty about what the day-to-day realities of it will look like, but it’s interesting to be exploring it at such an early time.
