Brian C. Keegan, Ph.D.It’s never not going to be funny that after years of hype about crypto-metaverse-subscriptions disrupting web2 incumbents, the backstop to Twitter’s sudden implosion was volunteers recreating Usenet with RSS.
How many years of yellow peril “TikTok AI feeds will steal our children if we don’t surveillance capitalism hard enough” did we have to endure before it turns out a reverse chron is maybe the least bad option for giving us social media that looks more like Wikipedia and less like 4Chan.
Bradley@bkeegan 4chan notably displays posts in the order they happened, and all at once, unlike Reddit and a lot of other places. I actually think the way Pleroma displays posts is fairly 4chan-like. (Mastodon does it slightly differently, hiding adjacent posts when you click on a reply so it's hard to see a whole thread at times)
