After an inspiring conversation in the pub last night with someone half my age, who articulated how much social media has fucked up his generation, I just posted this rant over on X.

@frabcus I mean not that hot in that I 100% agree with you, she says on mastodon :P

I do think we need to be careful throwing baby out with bathwater. I really like what google+ did with circles and I think that # are a way we created same mech on twt back in the day.

That being said with dead internet ect... I do think we may want to put a bit more smarts in places use good tooling which sometime will include recco algos but I think bsky has good ideas on this in theory not in practice

@kimau ha yes! I was more covering for my own normal people pleasing. Reached the point of not tiptoeing around it any more!
