I have to smirk a little about this.

People figuring out how to be social. Realizing that cliques and group behaviors are very real. Also that group-think and censorship to enforce it also happen... because we are people and social power is a real form of power.

The best way to combat this is to encourage individuals and small groups to host their own social media.

Most of the "big" Mastodon servers won't see my posts because they block most of the independent #fediverse servers... but there are still ways I can build an audience and express what I want to.

I think that a lot of the social interaction has retreated to private groups that are not visible from the outside. Hard to gauge this though... because I can't see it if I am not part of those groups.
