Really amazing post! Thank you so much for putting it together @revisesociology.

As toxic as social media currently is for a lot of people, there really are a lot of good communities and examples, I think people just need assistance in crafting their feeds - perhaps education around the impact of social media; I'm seeing a bit more of that at least.

I guess it's about being able to interact with a community within the platform in a healthy way.

Anyway, there's no denying they weren't designed for us.

This piece really reminds me of a talk I saw the other week called, "What's wrong with tech utopias," it was a lovely talk to about 40 people, and decentralisation was on the tips of their tongues in describing what needs to happen to improve our relationship with technology.

You've really added a lot of understanding to my perspective of mass-social media, thanks a bunch.
