Here's a take of social media:

My friend was driving across the country and his truck broke down 15 miles from anywhere that had the right sized sockets that he needed. Someone local who was a master mechanic saw his tweet and helped him out. It was 01:30.

If we are going to provide a social media platform that engages people we need to be at least this good. Mastodon has no interest in solving this problem which is a big warning sign that it will not even be a footnote in human history.
