However, Peretti says BuzzFeed’s new social media platform will use AI “to give users agency instead of stealing their agency.” (It’s unclear what that means.)

Woo. More AI.

I get no joy from unfederated social platforms, it can be trash, no feed, no ppl, just the fact that its federated gives me a dopamine buzz

No more non-federated social media. Centralized control will always be abused by tech sociopaths and government oppression.
