If true, this is probably great. Obvs people engaging with each other - with strangers - on social media is too risky for society: “People aren’t connecting or conversing on social media like they used to; they’re just wading through slop, that is, low-effort, low-quality content produced at scale, often with AI, for engagement.” (Via Russel Davies.) // The Last Days Of Social Media

Same from elsewhere:

In the early days of the internet, social media offered a space where anyone could casually post thoughts, fleeting moments, and feelings about the world. But lately, that culture has disappeared. It has been replaced by highly curated influencer content, manufactured viral slop, and it feels like everyone is just posting… less.

That via Warren Ellis.

And, some reflection on social media making micro-society shit, no ROI on commenting. That one via maya.land.
