at some point ill write a fifty page essay about why i think social media as it currently exists is a fucking garbage heap, mastodon included, so when i express frustration at it people dont keep trying to argue at me with anecdotes about how its important to them

am I really about to recommend a podcast 

@typhlosion
If you want some inspiration, the podcast Your Undivided Attention takes a great critical look at social media in some of their episodes, calls out some of the structural issues with it, and even has technologists brainstorming changes that could fix or at least reduce the harm from some of those issues.
