Abc News: Social media is more 'chaotic' and 'fragmented' than ever, so what's the future of how we live online?
If you've lived online long enough for Facebook to start dredging up embarrassing status updates from a decade ago, chances are you've picked up on a distinct vibe shift in our virtual world.
Chaotic and fragmented for social media honestly sounds better than controlled and centralised.
"I'm sure there'd be a German word for this mood where you're like, this is exciting, but something is deeply wrong here."
Ha, nice.
“Unangenehmungsfreude” was my German friend’s best shot. Translates roughly to “discomfort-joy”.
On the fediverse front, platforms as reasonably well defined spaces seems to me something that is both natural and useful but which is kinda missed or ignored by the ideals of the fediverse, in that they are likely to just happen anyway, and are happening, but kinda run counter to the ideal of everything federating everywhere.
