What do you think about this approach to social networks? I think she is right in this, for me the social networks don’t make much sense any more as it doesn’t lead to any real interaction, which was the purpose of having online connections in first place.
Apparently, i’m not the only one who feels that way. I tried to use Mastodon, but couldn’t find anyone worth following. People always post random stuff I don’t care about.
Don’t follow people. Follow hashtags. It’s a much better experience.
Hashtags don’t work as well as disambiguated topics used to work on Quora before enshittification. Many real topics have many hashtags associated to them: acronyms, whole names, misspellings. Meanwhile, many hashtags have many real topics associated to them, especially acronyms with many possible collisions: https://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/AGI
They work better than following people does, though.
