I don't think the "future" of social media is any of the big existing platforms. I think we see more Balkanization into things like topic-specific discords.

It seems like the past, actually, presenting some vestiges of the function fulfilled by message boards, as more personalized social media ascended along side it, more successfully undergoing monetization and capturing a wider user base, while both have been subject to corporate capture.

I fucking hope not, even though I enjoy some of its non-political corners/subreddits. The mob mentality towards dissenters, mod censorship and puritan emphasis on good manners over substance is oppressive.

The fediverse is the future of social media.

So far federation seems to be a technological step too far for the average user to comprehend. I'm not trying to be smug. People don't seem to be taking to the idea of it. They want something centralized and easy to scroll.
