Well, don't overlook the fact that different social media users simply want different experiences.
Not all of them seek that space to bond, and platforms sought to serve those users as well.
Consider the vastly different experiences of Facebook and #Twitter, based on everything from their web interfaces through the types of media they supported.
Users still chose to engage with different platforms based on their own diverse wants.
I'd say the real lesson for #Fediverse is to focus on empowering users to shape their experiences as they see fit, to avoid any sort of one-size-fits-all design choices.
But this is a hobby horse of mine.
I'd say the objective shouldn't be to create that space you describe, but rather to give users the power to create the spaces that serve them best.
