    But I'm not convinced there exists a way to make open model social networking appeal to people who've been raised in an environment in which they have absolute control over what they see in their feeds. Why /would/ you choose to expose yourself to foreign and potentially hostile points of view when dozens of pieces of software allow you to construct a nice neat worldview and hide in it?

      @ceruleanspark But I come here all the time and hate Twitter, why do I prefer the hostile, open option?

        @scoot because you're in the generation (probably the last generation) of users who was actually exposed to open networking.

          @ceruleanspark That's depressing.

      @snowlynx It seems that the trend is towards bubbles. It's the final resolution of one of the most stressful parts of the human condition: Dealing with outsiders viewpoints. We've solved it by making sure that people no longer have to. You can spin up your own little closed off utopia where everyone agrees with you and spend your entire social life there. It seems like some of us just can't live that way though.

        @ceruleanspark It the easy but stupid solution. It makes people happy but weak.
