Taking the Polls of the Nation.

What can polls actually tell us? And does it have anything to do with Public Opinion (in the Habermassian sense)?

'new mediating institutions, such as citizens’ assemblies, that encourage and enable civil discourse and consensus formation at the same virtual scale as social networks, are more necessary than ever because the forces of fragmentation have never been greater.'

: "“The” public sphere is now irretrievably fractured into a multiplicity of online and offline, larger and smaller, more or less public spaces that frequently (and often serendipitously) overlap and intersect with one another. This diverse array of what have been described variously as public spheres, public spherules, platform publics, issue publics, or personal publics nonetheless serves many of the same functions that were postulated for the public sphere itself. However, while the communicative structures, functions, and dynamics of many such spaces have been studied in isolation, we still lack a more comprehensive model that connects such case studies in pursuit of an overarching perspective. This article sets out a fundamental toolkit for the development of such an empirically founded model of the contemporary spaces for public communication. It identifies the crucial conceptual building blocks and empirical approaches that may be combined to produce genuinely new insights into how the network of such spaces is structured, and in turn structures our everyday experience of public communication." academic.oup.com/ct/advance-ar

I just reminisced about the incredible collapse of circa #2007 and how basically everyone walked away from it when opened up to non .edu ... It was hard to leave behing my and all the community "friend" connections that I had made, but between the emerging ( around #2008 ) and and on , I soon forgot about . This gives me hope that there will soon be enough (or other ) adoption so citizen and regular people can contribute to the . That's my hope, anyways, as I all that Twitter was and now isn't. Feel free to ! or comment on this thread!

@Hovedorganet Mastodon is not even close to be what I want, as you suggest. Mastodon is an elite platform and not public in the sense as massmedia have been in the past - I guess that is what you suggest that “I want”. Actually I think there is - or could be - lots of good opportunities for re-imagining the public sphere digitally which has been proposed by researchers.

Every is unique, of course, in the ways it can be used. Private, capitalist ownership is bad. Not just in social media, but in . Bad for democracy and bad for an inclusive and expansive .
