The Evolving Landscape of Social Media

Social media has undergone significant changes, particularly after notable leadership shifts in major platforms like Twitter and Meta. The conversation highlights that many users are retreating from traditional platforms in search of smaller, more intimate online communities such as Discord, where engagement feels less toxic. Users are increasingly concerned about the divisive nature of social media, which often mirrors the political climate and promotes AI-generated content rather than genuine conversations. This shift prompts questions about what social media should look like in the future and whether it still serves its original purpose of facilitating meaningful interactions.
