Social media is on the decline. Instagram is all ads. No one's posting on BeReal. TikTok is for influencers. The new place for sharing: group chats.

It had the potential to be good. But as with everything, once capitalisms tendrils flowed through it the benefit to anyone except those wishing to reap a profit is gone. I’m hoping the fediverse gets the support it needs because infrastructure is expensive and we have something good here

There used to be a time when corporations were taxed so hard they did everything they could to reinvest their money into the company/employees/communities just to avoid it going to taxes. Unfettered capitalism destroys the humanity in everything it touches.

Seriously, how old are you? I am from country which was under comunist regime for long time, until whole sssr collapsed because it did not work.

I would recommend you to study history little bit more. It destroyed humanity basically same. So in my opinion answer (or way forward) is not other extreme but sort of mix of these.
