Social Media Reimagined

This is a companion to Fediverse Futures on Social Coding to elaborate the Fediverse from high-level, non-technical perspectives, brainstorming our visions and dreams.

We need a more holistic approach to fedi development and evolution. We need product designers, graphics artists, UX / UI / Interaction designers, futurists and visionaries to join the dev folks. Everyone is encouraged to join here and enrich our views on what Fediverse can be with diverse and different viewpoints, and to stimulate brainstorming, creativity, thinking out-of-the-box and crazy, wild ideas.

Some guidelines

Please read the Social Coding Community Participation Guidelines for more information.

It is important to add, though, that Reddit has a massive reach and there are small gold nuggets of information scattered in corners there, that pull people in.

However, there is a lot of controlling of main subreddits that goes on by US military, police and other officials to create propaganda narratives for them. That is how while debunking their xenophobic or such toxic narratives, r/futurology, r/geopolitics, r/privacy and these mainstream subreddits banned me off their echo chambers. r/degoogle mods attacked me and deleted my guide because I mentioned a Wired report about CIA's Project Maven and its consequences in Yemen. The American narrative shilling is far too rooted into most subreddits, and is purposefully cloaked in the name of random volunteer moderation.

Reddit should definitely be used in a limited manner, restricted to smaller subreddits, and knowing the political affiliation of moderation team. Twitter also does this, banning people who do not worship NATO, which happened with some people recently.
