Can't stop thinking about this person who made the distinction on TikTok between old school social media for being in touch with your friends and making new ones, and "performative" social media where the point is to reach people you don't know.
I think some of the friction between OG mastodonians and the #twitterExodus is that the former were trying to recreate old school, but the latter are coming for performative and angry that it's not built for that
@Dubikan I feel like Twitter was pretty successful for doing both at the same time, at least for me. I wonder if Mastodon can do the same and if it's even desirable.
@haranmi I'm starting to think it was the mashing of these two functions that made it so icky for many in its later stages, even before #Voldemusk
