Setting aside Big Tech and surveillance capitalism for a minute — I wonder if fediverse microblogging apps like Mastodon aren’t fairly antisocial and inclined to individualism, while apps like Lemmy are more community and artefact/stuff-to-share centric.
People are complex, societies infinitely more so, but software can nudge us this way or that way too.
I’d be interested to hear what others here think.



Yeh, I see your point. But I think every app’s design also nudges us one way or another
