Fediverse made me realize that a more boring social media is better. I'm not joking.
@never This makes me curious. How do you mean?
@giffengrabber I mean less drama, less cultivating of a slick "brand", no endless feed, recommendations of stuff I would like that clogs my feed up to try to get me to follow more, interact more, suck me in, keep me looking at the app
@never Ah! I definitely agree.
@giffengrabber the way most social media these days is highly algorithmed to keep eyeballs on it endlessly is bad for me and bad for my life
@never yeah, it’s all about maxing out on those “user engagement” KPIs to have something to show for the quarterly report
@never I agree. Hopefully a chance for people to hang out without becoming offensive. Disagree without being disagreeable. 😊
@never define "boring"
@carcinopithecus "not algorithmically calculated to keep my eyes on it as much as humanly possible" and "has a culture that does not expect people to turn themselves into a product in order to receive any interaction at all"
@never so, we’re boring… lol
@m100 in a good way!
@never try LinkedIn. It doesn't get any more boring than that. 😂
@n3wjack nooooo too boring!!!
@never "may you live in interesting tweets" is most definitely a curse.
@Mabande 😭 too true
@never 😘
