@_elena That was interesting! I like how they presented setting up a Mastodon instance as "starting their own social media platform". I suppose that is what they did, in a way.

Also interesting that they suggest the Fediverse's goals are old-fashioned, in wanting to go back to social media the way it was ten, fifteen years ago. Also a fair assessment... But what would be a non-evil way of making something new that appeals to younger people, then?

@bammerlaan @_elena Do the addictive media platforms actually appeal to them or is it just that they haven't had a chance to experience something different and less ensnaring?
@phl @_elena They probably think it appeals to them. And I'm afraid that's the only thing that matters.
