Social platforms are catering more towards those with smaller attention spans. Bite-sized Tiktok/Instagram reels have their place, but there will always be platforms for actual discussion.

With excessive corporate controls and datamining, less centralized platforms will still have value (i.e. forums/Telegram). There's also a big difference between discussion on forums versus Discord.

I agree. The tighter the grip of corporate control, the more people will run from it.
Corporate and governments taking up resposabilities which should be for the individual, is bad for humanity.
