RE: https://mastodon.social/@wearenew_public/116556651501930786 Back in my day we had web forums with 20-30 active users, and we had real conversations with real people. In the early days of Twitter those conversations continued and engagement, and conversations were the social lubricant. Now we look at metrics, because spending socialising isn't seen as having adequate ROI. Can you imagine the absurdity of today? Social media is dead for me, because what pleasure is there in quantification, over conversation?
