Too:
... the fear that your society is breaking apart into factions that have nothing left in common with each other—each defending their own set of values, referring to their own cult figures, speaking in their own untranslatable language.

Oh yes. Sigh.
Interesting find, picked from one of my timelines
Cara.app is a relatively new social media platform: a kind of fusion between an Instagram timeline with a share button, and an Artstation portfolio layout on the user's profile. Almost every artist I know is opening a Cara.app profile right now and posting about it on every social media site. Some influencers, like industry veteran Bobby Chiu, even praise the platform and openly urge everyone to move to it.
As cara.app hit my circles before, too, I found this worth reading. Specifically I agree with most of the things mentioned in (8). Though this focus on "having instances" of something and "decentralization" (...) in an ActivityPub understanding of things to me slowly seems to show all of its technical and conceptual drawbacks, introducing yet another platform that is essentially a walled garden with data stored on one system of one legal entity doesn't seem what one would expect in 2024.
