It occurs to me anyway that making Fediverse apps in the shape and likeness of corporate media was a mistake. Even without the ever-present feed algorithms, people still post as though they are in an attention economy in these formats because they were conditioned to do so for years.

I understand that this was done to make adoption and migration easier, but I feel like the Fediverse ultimately needs to succeed on its own terms.

What would a format look like that beats corporate while being antagonist to the dopamine hell design? Each post an intrecate explorable interactive webpage with cool secrets to find?

A chronologically sorted list of posts by the people I follow and nothing else.
