This is also very much what I think. The era of massively centralized social media platforms that tried to be everything to all people (so they could harvest their valuable user data) is ending, and in many ways, that’s a good thing.
utopia deferred@utopia-defer.red · yesterdaythat said, i'm also of the firm belief that there's not much alpha in the big platforms anymore, that social media as we knew it 2010-2020 was probably an ephemeral event that we won't re-experience, and that future (meaningful, worthwhile etc) non-video virtual engagement will be on small sites.
these numbers are 1) interesting; 2) significant; and 3) not so indicative of immediate apocalyptic collapse as some folks seem to suggest

"While the sector experienced a modest post-COVID bump in activity (...) data show that the country's domestic aviation emissions have declined in each of the past three years, descending 22% during the period 2023 through 2025." #Sufficiency works, if we dare. climatetrace.org/news/austria...
Austria and France banned short-haul flights to boost train travel and reduce emissions. Did it work?
Climate TRACE data point to encouraging outcomes, with much greater emissions reduction opportunity if such a shift were widely adopted globally.
