Such a coherent script and yet so many puns and jokes? Great video @paigesaunders!

He’s right, 100%. None of my friends give a crap. They want the literal lowest effort, at all costs. They don’t care about defederation or a billionaire narcissist in charge.

It’s sad that most of us have been trained this way. a disgusting mix of negligence and indifference.

My 2 cents is that the reason no one switches is nothing is innovative anymore but we are fairly addicted so its not like we’re going to demand innovation. If there’s was some cool new “swipe right” or “get notified when friends are online” type thing then people would check it out. But all the cool stuff has been innovated already and now switching to a new thing isn’t enticing because its the same stuff we all have just moved around differently. Nobody cares about the backend stuff

Yeah the niches have been filled. Facebook is the personal profile networking thing, Instagram is the photo thing, X-Twitter is the “shout your inner monologue” thing, Reddit the anonymous networking thing, TikTok the short vid thing, Tinder the sex thing. Alternatives to the dominant platforms just won’t catch on because no new gadget is more valuable than a critical mass. We’re in the late stage of social media Phase I, and it’ll take something fundamentally (not cosmetically) different to shake us out of Phase I and kick off Phase II.

Lol no. Remember Yahoo? It used to rule the search engines. What is dominant today can quickly fold over in an instant.

  1. It was never dominant the way Google is.
  2. That was in the early days of the internet, when things changed on a fundamental level quite frequently. I’m very specifically making a point about today, not 1995.

Think you’re right about the lack of innovation being a big part of it. They’re still out there, waiting for someone to think of them.

Cyberspace is BIG. The options are wide open. For example, being part of one community project with no borders making something with long-lasting value, for example. (Cities!) Moving on to another you’re even better fitted-to. That you know you can look back at one day and be glad you were part of.

9:45, on the “universal social network”: this can’t be stressed enough.

No matter how much Musk babbles about “I wanr an errything app! lol lmao”, Twitter won’t become one. The Fediverse however has the potential to become an all-encompassing social network, with different aspects of online interaction being integrated organically.

There’s a future not too far away where you can share a picture, from an account that you made for video sharing, that’ll get a lot of microblogging toots and spark a discussion in a forum. This would be impossible using Instagram, Youtube, Twitter or Reddit; but once the interfaces get ironed out, it will become reality for PixelFed, Piped, Mastodon, Lemmy and Kbin.

Thanks for the share. I wasn’t familiar with this person but he seems like a great presenter.
