I know that’s not going to be popular around here, but I am kind of curious what an “everyone is a confirmed user” social media site would actually look like, compared to the “whoever has the most bots gets shoved to the top of the rankings” cesspool we have now.
Social media was a mistake. We should have stuck to small forums. Same with real life tbh. Shit, have I become an anarchist now?
It would probably be the same content-wise. The bots are put there by people that wants to push an agenda. If we somehow reach a point where such a network with only live, confirmed humans exists, they’ll still push their points I guess. After all, we already see prominent account posting batshit crazy thing under their real name, so that would not change much.
And, yeah. It’s not really being an anarchist to think smaller, closer spaces are a good idea. Worldwide, almost universal social connection all the time, even without the constant barrage of garbage, is bound to completely overload our brain. Focusing on smaller communities, hand in these for a limited/controlled duration, things that actual matters, sounds really nice. It’s more of a “technical minimalism”, if we keep things digital.

Bots will simply use a random id card from the millions of stolen ids
