    I mean, what if “we” just stop using various social media platforms all together? I remember the days when various people never really shared their opinions and beliefs about most topics to the general public. Maybe we should get back to face to face conversations about life topics.

      It’s unlikely it’ll go back in the bottle, and that style of social media is capable of facilitating positive social change (Arab spring as one example) that may not have been possible without it.

      Agreed, I left twitter almost a year ago and haven’t felt the need to sign up for any of its alternatives, federated or not. I just haven’t felt like my life is missing anything by not using these platforms.
