here’s what you missed = a friends baby picture that I’m not really social with anymore

Popular with friends = a 3 day old political opinion that was emotionally captivating but has since been debunked

neither of these things makes social media more social, rather just makes it dated media.

You know what did make it social, a little blue dot in messenger, an opaque name in discord. Specially once the “don’t appear” features came about, you could find people to be social with.

My limited understanding, this should be easy with websockets.
