it's the social in a social media website that matters the most. every decent person is gone and what's left is bots, hucksters, vapid influencers, slop, racists, soyjakparty, pedophiles, proanas, personifications of the dunning-kruger effect and children who send eachother death threats over shipping the wrong roblox characters. there's a persistent aura of misery over everyone's heads

best solution would be to serve paginated by default but you can change page size in the settings or even enable infinite. whoever really wants infinite can use it, it's just not forced on everyone. sated wolves, intact sheep

tumblr still has pages and it has never impeded me

on the contrary, infinite scrolls are impossible to get back to after some time away and eventually start lagging

this is about commerical blogs but what i miss more are the more casual ones

cohost was great for this. you could see the creator of tcrf just postin out there having a basic day. and the next post could either be an elaborate shitpost or a long read on the inner workings of the nes

ive checked out bubbles town and bearblog but it feels just like a worse doomscroll than social media and the people there are kinda lame.
