    The problem with attempting to run a serious social media instance is that social media needs new content all the time or nobody will really ever check it… however, there is often not nearly enough good, serious, content to support it long term.

    So you get progressively worse memes.

      Once upon a time, there existed a news protocol that would tell you about new things appearing, instead of waiting for you to check.

      Then we got spammers.
