I am becoming more and more disillusioned with social media as a concept.

@Iskios Don't let the poor execution sully the ideal.

Just because when bad, evil, stupid greedy people do it, it goes bad, doesn't mean it _has_ to be bad.

@AskTheDevil oh, I know. I am not completely negative about social media, but giant corporations with intentions to profit from our data has corrupted the original intent of social media.

@Iskios Agreed. I remember when there were a jillion personal pages and subculture forums that were hosted directly by people and communities and not walled services like reddit.
I miss threaded forums, too.

@Iskios I miss forums. They were more specific to ones interests and at least the ones I frequented, well moderated.

Coso is the best alternative imo.

@Razdawg22 I like CoSo and the Misskey/Sharkey servers. I also miss chat rooms. Not the big ass ones on Discord, but the smaller more local ones.

@Iskios I dislike the concept of social media which is accepted by the mainstream, but more and more appreciate CoSo.
