i think this shower thought would be more accurately stated as “the average person’s perception of the internet has boiled down to essentially 5 sites all sharing screenshots of each other”, which is certainly the case.
it makes sense because it’s easier for people to look at things online when they’re presented in centralized feeds with relatively simple to setup accounts. it kinda goes against how the internet was intended to be used though unfortunately and doesn’t allow for much in the way of user freedom.
hopefully enough people will hop onto activitypub-based platforms like mastodon in the near future.
