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?

In the beginning, there were blogs, and they were the original social web.
We built community. We found our people. We wrote personally. We wrote
frequently. We self-policed, and we linked to each other so that newbies
could discover new and good blogs.

I want to go back there.
