I'm certainly wish this were possible, and people who left would probably go back to the platform if it reformed itself in this direction. But as the years go on all I see are more and more catastrophic impacts from short term thinking and near term profit generation, whether it's Facebook, climate, VC-funded startups or the current supply chain crisis.
Perhaps the public consciousness around the unhealthy design of existing social media is approaching a point where a new Facebook-like social network could actually achieve a critical mass of users. On the order of years I think it'll happen (like rates of smoking cigarettes), but how long that will be who knows. I can only hope it comes in the next few years as I fear the destructive ripple effects through culture and society are only getting worse.
