wordsmith‽ ⁂I've been forcing myself to listen to the BBC #podcast "Top Comment" since I have occasionally been fielding questions from customers about their kids and abusive social media platforms. It describes as "The story behind your social media feed" and this genuinely isn't meant in a derogatory or condescending manner but I find it sad that both the hosts find those platforms to "Be the Internet".
NNTP is bygone,group mailing lists & IRC are mostly,yet the grotesque platforms are a tiny part of The Internet. I don't really care about MAU,Engagement Metrics or turnover;I don't care how many terabytes are shifted for Service X. I consider The Internet to be multitudes where Gemini Capsules stand next to Netflix. If one person hosts a Gopher server then it's part of the Internet and I wish the concept of variety was something more folk were at least aware of,even if they couldn't care less.
