I’m getting déjà vu to several such discussions from the 2000s. And mastodon as well is one of those things that takes me way back to when we were all young and naive

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? Udhay https://www.theverge.com/23513418/bring-back-personal-blogging 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. <snip> -- ((Udhay Shankar N)) ((udhay @ pobox.com<http://pobox.com>)) ((www.digeratus.com<http://www.digeratus.com>))
