There seems to be a movement, as exemplified by the move to Mastodon, towards going back to actual social media. By this, I mean people talking to people, not some company trying to monetize your address book.
Below is one example of such a mindset, although the author seems to think that personal blogs were the beginning. Far from it. Mailing lists like this one predate them by a few decades. Are people here moving away from Social Media back to social media?
