ahh, I see. I haven’t touched blueksy because I want no more of Dorsey than I’m forced to deal with. I didn’t know zinger culture was a part of the network.
@FreezePeach I figured Skunkable to be Facebook. Goebbler could be Parlor, Truth, 4chan, or any number of social media platforms. Influenzza is obviously Twitter. Happytime Funfeed I'm drawing a blank on. Maybe Instagram??
@JJ_Allen @FreezePeach They're more like elements of various networks. Goebbler was inspired by the direction Twitter is going, and Happytime Funfeed was derived from an Instagram/Threads exec's comments that discussion of politics would not be encouraged. Not that Meta is literally run by the world's worst authoritarians, though it's been known to help them out.
As I've been saying: social media platforms initially facilitated the breakup of society into tribal factions. Now, social media platforms *are* the tribes: which one you use declares which tribe you're in.
@mechadragon Influenzza was based on Instagram and what I've heard about Threads. Happytime Funfeed and Skunkible are more composites than exact matches to any one network.
I would perhaps change the first panel to read, "RW conspiracy theorists." Big corporations sometimes brand whistleblowers as conspiracy theorists and alarmists to discredit them. Just saying... Otherwise, spot on!
It's very refreshing to see a comparison between different social networks that doesn't force some kind of equivalence between a network run by fascists and a network where you have to put in some effort to curate your feed because there is no algorithm to do that for you
Those things are not as equal as some people seem to think
Influencer could be a good job, focused on *curating* (and I follow some few that actually do that). When did we take the wrong turn and made it all about brand deals and make-believe of seemingly perfect lives?
Big Mammoth seems like a contradiction in terms. How can it be algorithm free while only favouring those scientists and politicians who share the same opinion?

in reply to Jen Sorensen • • •I figured goebbler was twitter, influenzza -> instagram, and happytime funfeed would be tiktok? (couldn't figure out skunkible)
idk about the authoritarian part, but I've always thought of tiktok as the most censored social media, although it's likely I'm behind
