#Social media is an "unhealthy online environment".

The problem is the #business #model which underpins these #monopolistic platforms to:

➡️ promote #ragebait to rake in the money. 💰

Jim Killock told #BBC News what needs to be done around #SocialMedia:

✅ Competition
✅ User empowerment
✅ #Decentalization / #Decentalized #Platforms

My #Answer is building another "society" ON TOP OF #MASTODON #PEERTUBE ETC -

NOT JUST MORE TECH AND #TECHIES - develop people themselves!

We're mostly just developing tech and not developing people...

(and then complaining about #society and people falling for the same traps used by #tech ).

Without organised #circles or dedicated #talks IN MASTODON (or any #decentalised or #centralised #platform) people do not know how to be nice / what to consider / what to look out for (all normal in new relationships) / what do if this or that... / how to WORK WITH someone new / where and when to go regularly somewhere...

Some chat happens but is that it as a Mastodon #movement? ❓ (any groups with just a donate button and nobody to talk to)

Such a lack of depth... 📉

Without some training, we the society are lost / undirected online / offline. Sorry but best time to plant a tree / invest in a person is now!

Let's chat (as positive ending and action needed between reader and I - more if we can imagine it).
