@joepie91 @retr0id @desea yeah, the disjointedness _looks_ like a weakness from the modern view of social media, but at some level it's really a _strength_ from a ship-of-Theseus longer term viability standpoint. It's just really hard to express this to younger people that grew up around siloes without sounding like I'm defending bad actors' rights to exist. I don't want them to exist either.
@retr0id @desea @cadey That's the thing though, the expectation that online social spaces must reflect your full social graph at all times is actually *very weird*, and an expectation that didn't exist at all prior to startup social media silos.
We don't expect this from any in-person social spaces - why would we expect it from online social spaces? Meeting different people in different places is a pretty normal part of social interaction, for precisely those reasons of social compatibility.
