@casdeiro Capitalists call that "social" media, how is that for a misnomer.

@gert Yeah, and that name curiously appeared when the capitalist companies saw the market at what previously was called "online/virtual communities". I created one of the first and biggest for Galician people in the 90's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fillos_de_Galicia

@casdeiro One of the disproven assumptions of the early techies was that one could have online social activity without any connection to the local. But despite this disproof, the commercial companies supercharged the concept anyway and turned it into a PSYOPS dystopia mixed with celebrity cults. I never understood how people could be attracted to something that weird.

We used Ning locally around 2008 but we had to pay for the instance and it wasn't open source. But it came close to being useful.
