Been brainstorming on a new concept(*) of "social network" based on ego graphs: Everyone has their own "bubble": a network that they control through who they add/remove as friends (and who these friends add, and so on). If someone is in your bubble, you're in their bubble. Everything you post in your bubble, and everything people reply, is visible to everyone in your bubble (and no one else). You keep multiple bubbles along different themes ("friends", "family" etc) /🧵 #socialnetworks

Does this accurately describe the user experience on social networks? BigTech social networks are like a shopping centre: At first, you stand around alone – but then everyone comes up to you and wants to sell you something. The Fediverse is like a party: At first, you stand around alone, but when you start to look around openly and interact with the other guests, you find wonderful people and have fun! #SocialNetwork #SocialNetworks #Fediverse #Mastodon #BigTech #Hasley #ShoppingCentre #DID
