What is Facebook these days? My grandma spends all day on it, she hardly speaks…just swiping…when I sneak a peek, it’s just chain-mail-like bullshit one after the other with a few disguised ads for things she can’t afford in between…ugh :vomit:
Yea, I checked worldnews today: there are these bot-like irrelevant comments on major subs, small subs abandoned…askhistorians is a little slow…maybe people are just on holiday having fun and such :D, is instagram full of holiday bragging?
And still email is not dead yet! I hope it’s starting to become clear to people that protocols last much longer than platforms, even if platforms look like they can test new things faster.

I remember describing to my mom what Facebook was becoming back in like 2013/14 and she goes “Huh, sounds like what happened with email.”
The service went from useful communication to social media style chain forwarding nonsense pretty quickly, and they went the same way with FB.
And still email is not dead yet! I hope it’s starting to become clear to people that protocols last much longer than platforms, even if platforms look like they can test new things faster.

More than that, it’s THE communication method for businesses.
And universities. Email is the digital version of the memorandum, which is an essential tool for any large organization.
I never said it was, just that communication technology all get used for the same time wasting shit until the next thing comes along to replace it.
It’s a haven for some older gen x and boomers. That was peak social media for them and that’s where they keep in touch mostly.
When I go to the poker machine hall, it’s the same. Keep pressing the button waiting for that all-too-elusive ‘win’ to come around.
