    Do note that regardless of content it ends by being an ad for the company.

      Is there an extension of Betteridge’s law of headlines for tech blogs?

      If the title of a tech blog ends in a question mark the answer is “the product I work on/sell”

    It’s entirely cash based. Sure, some parts are “non-profit”, but at the root of it, they depend on cash based services that can pull the plug at any time.

    It’s also completely controlled, directly or indirectly, by localized political regimes.

    Trying to push the entire world’s population into the same spaces. Sometimes, it actually does make sense to have spaces specifically for those with common experiences, like men’s and women’s spaces.

    Social media NEEDING new content by the minute simply in order to survive.

    Heavy reliance on volunteer moderation.

    I would say that all issues can be traced back to letting people sell stuff on what was designed as a government/educational communications system. We keep on adding patches trying to smother commercially-motivated bad actors who were not an expected part of the original design, but it’s not really much different from playing whack-a-mole.

    (I didn’t read the article, but I imagine it’s Yet Another Idea for some kind of patch, and probably not a very good one, because most of them aren’t.)

    It’s all on one single protocol you can block and which allows tracking parameters.
