What's outlined is more a new type of social media area, one that would not lend itself to search engines, and as such ... only really of interest to those who are all about the now ... want to be heard today but please nobody recall or record and look back on any previous missteps -- there's already things similar to that (a popular smart phone app) where if a conservations doesn't go well, they can simply delete their yip-yap and consequent replies and comments from the data archive.
What made the good old net was the wealth of information however fragmented between a lot of different areas of the web, information could be found reasonably quickly, thought at first it relied on users for answers or for them to point to static sites that held questionable information, and later a search engine(s) that did its fucking job as best it could without being hindered by precious interests, copyright issues ... etc

Oh interesting, maybe I shouldn’t have included the examples. They’re just what I happen to be busying myself with. What I winkingly called an anti social site is an experiment to see if people with share their authentic self if there’s no particular “karma” to be gained. I am all for a thousand flowers, including older strains.

Ah, an example of ... sorry I had missed the intent. Yes it would be so nice to be back in the days where common sense ruled and relied less on side loading bs to scrape every user that arrived at a site. I have always enjoyed forums that didn't rank, didn't use likes... etcetera.
