Dear weather, you are not supposed to be raining like this.
Unless the changing climate has some very nasty influence on you.

Crowdsourcing ... for my talk about UX in the Fediverse and the social web, what do **you** think the biggest challenges are for user experience today?

A definition that isn't inductive ("everything sort of like Facebook") but one that defines the category.
All the definitions I've come across sound quite odd-shaped. What's your definition?
It's kinda important because if we want to create a better "social media" we should be able to define quite well what that thing is we want to be better.
There's this persistent rumor that East and West Germany were reunited some thirty-something years ago.

It’s fascinating to me that where a variety of reactions to a post exist — like Like, Heart, Fire, Dislike etc — these reactions are all about emotions. None of them are about facts.
For example, what if I could express “I believe this to be true” or “…to be false”? Or “I agree with this statement” vs “disagree”? Or “I have first hand evidence supporting this”.
It’s almost as if social media was created as an emotional rage machine, rather than something that supports fact finding.
