While watching the video I couldn't stop thinking about the fediverse. It's basically self-organized social-media. While it is far from perfect it is so much better than the corporate alternative in terms of relevant content. I'm just sad that basically nobody I know personally actually uses the fediverse...

I feel like an algorithm that sucks you in is what makes a social media platform popular. But an algorithm is part of what makes social media so toxic.

I love that the fediverse doesn't have ulterior motives, but that might be why it never becomes mainstream. I'd choose smaller crowd over toxic tho.

Same thing the nerds collectively used before your average schmoe started using the internet. That internet never went mainstream, and a model similar to it never will. Just how I like it.

Are you talking about IRC or Usenet?
