I switched to communicating close friends on Whatsapp when I noticed that photos and experiences seemed to be shared to prove more that you were having a good time, than actually having a good time. (I felt myself also doing this at times, and didn't like it).
If anything, I think we need far less of our convivial social lives being mediated through corporations, not more.
I use the word "convivial" after Ivan Illich, [1] who would view Facebook as part of a distopia.
> Zuckerberg said in the Q3 2021 earnings call Monday: "If you're in the metaverse every day, then you'll need digital clothes, digital tools, and different experiences. Our goal is to help the metaverse reach a billion people and hundreds of billions of dollars of digital commerce this decade."
This to me sounds like someone who has become detached from reality.
