Increased conviction year-over-year that we’re going through the Great Fragmenting. Twitter will still be a big thing, but nothing will replace what Twitter was in 2020.

Twitter will be Byzantium. Then sold to Saudi Arabia and become the new Ottoman Empire.

agree. filter bubbles exist and the cost to deploy a thing for that filter bubble will continue to go down. it will increasingly come no liquidity tradeoff too. basically just need an etherscan of social activity.

Totally agree, which is why I think it’s so important what you’ve gone 0 -> 1 on (gating + forums that allowed 1k-100k of likeminded people to be and build together) We depart Roman Empire and return to Greek cities and Italian city-states? https://warpcast.com/tldr/0x93f709

prob room for multiple players. in an ideal world, the protocol is open and the multiple players can converge/bridge if they choose to share discussions

It’s like the content-graph fragments, but the follow-graph consolidates (← around the sovereign user)

It feels that way. But it also felt that way when there dozens of posts about “the long tail” and then power law dynamics meant everyone watched the same handful of shows and creators on the same few platforms.

As speed+efficiency of communication continues to increase, then increased fragmentation granularity of coordination groups (with increasing group autonomy) is also a good thing, as such groups are more adaptive. But — provided that we also have more effective inter-group coordination systems & approaches.

Parallel fragmentation in non-digital world as well. Post-covid, de-globalization has been a major narrative. The infrastructure for digital nation states further fuels Great Fragmenting, imo. Social media empires will fragment, to ur point. It won't be exactly repeat pre-industrial, but it'll rhyme

I'm an optimist, if the new dec platforms are truly decentralised as they claim to be, the new "composable master" should be x10 Twitter every account will just need to join this or that additional network to be able to enjoy a niche subset of features it needs. I welcome our new fragmented overlords.

💯 agree and it will only get crazier and crazier. I quit believing in unified social graphs/identities awhile ago, if threads achieves it's goal we will see highly dispersed brand identities attempting to unify under a common protocol.
