Dan Gillmor@mmasnick done by far the best job of chronicling the Twitter/Musk follies and the resulting social media diaspora. His 6-months-later piece, on where we stand in what I hope will be a massive move to decentralized networking, is a must-read: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/04/28/six-months-in-thoughts-on-the-current-post-twitter-diaspora-options/
John Breen@dangillmor @mmasnick FWIW I will add two (?) observations.
First, it's somewhat stunning that "Facebook" occurs only in the context of "Twitter and", when discussing social media platforms. And Google, as some other comments have observed.
Second, I absolutely care not a hoot about an algorithm to help me decide what to follow in my feed.
I will decide who to follow, in an "organic" way.
Perhaps not a common use case, but I'm not looking for a new curator or filter with in engagement with social media. I follow people and organizations I feel worthy, and people recommended by those people.
No algorithm other than my own need apply.
