Diaspora thought like you and went the length. Not sure how it played out, but iirc in the beginning they found it more work than they had expected. https://diasporafoundation.org/ I think there may be a lot more…
Nobody says you have to be (fake) close friends to the people you network with on social media. I follow Paul Graham on Twitter. I don't think he is my friend (if only because he doesn't know I exist).
Are you sure social networking is not expensive to provide? What makes you think so?
I appreciate your concerns, but I think they are mostly propaganda. Without the industries, there would be no jobs and no workers that could be deprived of their power. If you want to strengthen workers, create more…
