‘What do we want from social media?

I’m thinking a lot about this question of late. I’d be interested to hear your take.

I visited the topic in April (see below) and I’m revisiting it again for the next newsletter. With Twitter in the trashfire and Threads seemingly making a meaningful impact, what if anything do we actually want from social media?

A penny for your thoughts x

And I still don’t have an answer to the question. But you know what, maybe we don’t need a definitive answer. Maybe it’s just a good question to hold in your head whenever you’re hovering over that share/post/publish/toot/tweet button? Try it for a week and let me know. I’m interested to hear what happens. What do you want from social media?
