Love this reflection on pre-platform online life by@alicetiara@mastodon.social. This line is a cold slap: "If social media has a future—and, to be clear, I’m not convinced that it does—it will not be a few mega-platforms with billions of users. It will not be a series of independent sites that mimic the functionality of the big winners..." Can we have social lives online without "social media"? Will we know it when it comes? https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20563051261434796 #communication #community #livejournal
