flo<p><span>"Slow social media <br><br>(...) what would a non-evil social media platform look like?<br><br>I'd love to see everyone running a blog, and subscribing to the people they care about via RSS. But unfortunately this doesn't scale since it requires effort to put your thoughts down in writing longer than 255 characters. I have many friends who don't even know I have a blog, or what an RSS reader is. <br><br>So while everyone blogging may be the ideal we can aspire to, let's design a hypothetical social media platform that takes the good aspects of current social media, while creating pro-social incentives. <br><br>The platform should be about:<br><br> Keeping up with friends, family, and other acquaintances<br> Connection (but, you know, real connection)<br> Improving relationships<br> Thoughtful engagement<br><br>The platform should NOT be about:<br><br> Collecting followers<br> Self-promotion<br> Advertising and marketing<br> Short-form video and media entertainment <br><br>(...)" <br><br>Interesting thoughts worth reading! <br><br></span><a href="https://herman.bearblog.dev/slow-social-media/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">herman.bearblog.dev/slow-social-media/</a><span> <br><br></span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/BearBlog" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BearBlog</a><span> </span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/SmallWeb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SmallWeb</a><span> </span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/SocialMedia" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SocialMedia</a><span> </span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/Blog" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Blog</a><span> </span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/Blogging" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Blogging</a></p>
